RE: FPATH being reset after .zshenv

[martin.ebourne@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

   What do you mean exactly? If you used it in a *function* inside a
   .zshenv
   and then changed FPATH inside the same function, then it should have
   described effect.


Right again. All my config is in a hierarchy of directories in multiple
files. All the config ends up in a function for two reasons:
(i) I use a function to check the file's location and execute the file, and
(ii) the zsh profiler works on functions and it allows me to usefully
profile the startup config.


   I just tried with ~/.zshenv looking like

   FPATH=foo:$FPATH
   typeset -U FPATH

   and fpath is not cleared (and never was).


Okay, I'm sure that's what it'll do.


   Could you show your .zshrc?


Well I could but there's rather a lot. (1720 lines/29 files of normal
config, and 4210 lines/105 files of autoloaded functions which it makes use
of.) The problem's solved now though, so perhaps I'll leave that for
another time when I can't figure out what's wrong. ;)

Thanks for your rapid reply,

Martin.
