I cannot change the nodejs version on vscode under OSX using nvm

Question

I see in vscode terminal, my nodejs version is v11.5.0, I need to change the version to 12.13.0, and i do nvm use 12.13.0 , it successfully executed, then node -v , it is still 11.5.0, as the sreenshot below.

At the /bin/bash from system, i tried node -v , it 12.13.0.

Why cannot i change the version? anyone help. thanks. you can see the nvm ls below in the screenshot.

in vscode terminal

~$ node -v

Thanks to @tuan-anh-tran, i try this:

in vscode terminal

~$ which node
/usr/local/bin/node

in system terminal

~$ which node
/Users/lennon/.nvm/versions/node/v12.13.0/bin/node
~$

what's wrong? Both the terminals is /bin/bash , why the node is different? is anywhere i should do some settings?

Thanks to @tuan-anh-tran again for nice helping.

By following your tips, I tried brew info node , and i found that the nodejs@11.5.0 is installed sometime earlier.

So that i execute brew uninstall node , and reopen vscode terminal, the version is 12.13.0, that is correct!

The problem solved, but i still do not known why the node s(in vscode terminal and in system terminal) will point to the different program in the same terminal /bin/bash , might anywhere need to do some settings.
