How to make RVM use the default automatically

Question

RVM doesn't use the default Ruby version on both my Mac and Ubuntu server.

This is what I get when I do rvm list on my Mac:

rvm rubies

 * ruby-2.1.2 [ x86_64 ]

# => - current
# =* - current && default
#  * - default

And what I get on Ubuntu:

rvm rubies

 * ruby-2.1.2 [ i686 ]

# => - current
# =* - current && default
#  * - default

They are already the default and only version available, but I have to manually type rvm use 2.1.2 each time when I need to do some Ruby stuff. I guess I could put that command into .profile or the like, but it feels hackish since I'm expecting RVM to use the default version.

Does anyone have a better solution?

Answer 1

I resolved the problem.

I tried rvm use ruby-2.1.2 --default multiple times and it didn't work. There's two things I did:

1. I moved this line:

    [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

   in ~/.bash_profile to the last line. See " How to use "RVM --default" on MacOSX ".

   Somehow some application decided to add itself to this file and making it the first in the path.

2. Run rvm get head .

This solved the problem for me on my Mac.
