As an Environment Manager, why doesn't tea set me up?

[trentlarson]

I've got tea installed, with this at the end of my .zprofile add-zsh-hook -Uz chpwd(){ source <(tea -Eds) }

So I add the following to my README.md in a new directory:

## Dependencies

|   Project   | Version  |
|-------------|----------|
| nodejs.org  | ^16.18.0 |
| tea.xyz     | ^0       |

I expected that I would have that version of node available when I change into that dire, but I don't see a tea prompt and it is just using my default node version. Am I expecting too much?

Sorry I missed this.

You won’t (yet) see a tea prompt, when changing dir, but we intend to add this visual feedback.

What does tea -Eds say when you are in that directory?

[trentlarson]

Nothing. I get a successful shell result of 0, but no output.

k, could be because there is no .git directory? currently we require that tho I totally agree this is (probably) dumb.

[trentlarson]

a HA! That totally fixed it: I created an empty .git directory, cd'd out and then back in, and now it's using the node that's stored in my ~/.tea directory. I even changed the README and I see it using whatever I specify in there. 👏
