I want to be able to initialise Node.js every time I open a new integrated terminal window on VSCode for MacOS. Currently, I am using "nvm (node version manager)" to init Node.js each time.
Is there a way the settings.json
can be updated to do this automatically whenever I open a new integrated terminal window on VSCode for MacOS?
I tried adding:
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.osx": [
"nvm use 10"
]
to settings.json
, although this does not work.

I don't think VSCode should run anything on your shell when you first open it since that's exactly the role of .bashrc
, .zshrc
and other such files.
For my own use case, I add this snippet to my .bashrc
(which will run every time I open a new interactive non-login shell)
find-up () {
path=$(pwd)
while [[ "$path" != "" && ! -e "$path/$1" ]]; do
path=${path%/*}
done
echo "$path"
}
cdnvm(){
cd "$@";
nvm_path=$(find-up .nvmrc | tr -d '[:space:]')
# If there are no .nvmrc file, use the default nvm version
if [[ ! $nvm_path = *[^[:space:]]* ]]; then
declare default_version;
default_version=$(nvm version default);
# If there is no default version, set it to `node`
# This will use the latest version on your machine
if [[ $default_version == "N/A" ]]; then
nvm alias default node;
default_version=$(nvm version default);
fi
# If the current version is not the default version, set it to use the default version
if [[ $(nvm current) != "$default_version" ]]; then
nvm use default;
fi
elif [[ -s $nvm_path/.nvmrc && -r $nvm_path/.nvmrc ]]; then
declare nvm_version
nvm_version=$(<"$nvm_path"/.nvmrc)
declare locally_resolved_nvm_version
# `nvm ls` will check all locally-available versions
# If there are multiple matching versions, take the latest one
# Remove the `->` and `*` characters and spaces
# `locally_resolved_nvm_version` will be `N/A` if no local versions are found
locally_resolved_nvm_version=$(nvm ls --no-colors "$nvm_version" | tail -1 | tr -d '\->*' | tr -d '[:space:]')
# If it is not already installed, install it
# `nvm install` will implicitly use the newly-installed version
if [[ "$locally_resolved_nvm_version" == "N/A" ]]; then
nvm install "$nvm_version";
elif [[ $(nvm current) != "$locally_resolved_nvm_version" ]]; then
nvm use "$nvm_version";
fi
fi
}
alias cd='cdnvm'
cd .
I actually made a PR to the nvm-sh/nvm
repository with this snippet and it's now part of their documentation. I would use the version there.
There's also support for zsh. If you use another shell, you may have to replicate that same logic.
