Need to Fix PATH in my bashrc File for RVM - bash

Question

I did a clean install of my operating system recently and copied my old .bashrc file from a backup. I installed rvm version 1.26.10 (latest stable version). I installed ruby 2.2.0. When I source the .bashrc file I get the following error:
Warning! PATH is not properly set up, '/Users/myusername/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.0#mygemset/bin' is not at first place,
usually this is caused by shell initialization files - check them for 'PATH=...' entries,
it might also help to re-add RVM to your dotfiles: 'rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles',
to fix temporarily in this shell session run: 'rvm use ruby-2.2.0#mygemset'.
Here are my PATH statements. The first line I included here is one that was in the new install of RVM in the .bash_profile file. I copied them into .bashrc. I'm also running postgres.app which requires the last statement in order to set it as the current PostgreSQL instance.
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
PATH="$PATH:$HOME:/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.0/bin/ruby:/usr/bin/psql:/usr/local:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin"
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin"
export PATH=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin:$PATH
I started with the .bashrc file recommended by the Ruby on Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl (the version current in 2011 or 2012) and the settings used by RVM back then. I know things have changed a bit since then.
My bash knowledge is limited so any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: 2/2/2015 2:40 pm CST
I changed my bash statements to the following and got rid of the warning:
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin"
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
PATH="$PATH:$HOME:/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.0/bin/ruby:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin:/usr/bin/psql:/usr/local:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin"
UPDATE: 2/2/2015 5:14 pm CST
Here are my Bash statements:
PATH="$PATH:$HOME:/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.0/bin/ruby:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin:/usr/bin/psql"
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin"
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
Here is the output for echo $PATH:
/Users/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.0#gemsetname/bin:/Users/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.0#global/bin:/Users/username/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.0/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin:/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin:/Users/username/.rvm/bin:/Users/username:/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.0/bin/ruby:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin:/usr/bin/psql:/Users/username/.rvm/bin

Answer 1

My RVM wouldn't stop complaining about PATH even though the last thing in my .bashrc was this line:
# RVM
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
So I just redirected the complaining to /dev/null:
# RVM
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm > /dev/null 2>&1
rvm use default > /dev/null 2>&1
The last line also makes sure RVM is first in PATH, so it doesn't really have anything to complain about.

rvm expects its $PATH stuff to come first in $PATH. You should add items to the $PATH before sourcing rvm, not after.

After dealing with this for several days I decided to go ahead and continue to proceed with my implementation of postgres.app with the warning message I got with RVM. I ran my original bash statements in a different order.
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin"
PATH="$PATH:$HOME:/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.0/bin/ruby:/usr/bin/psql:/usr/local:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin"
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
export PATH=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin:$PATH
I was successful in implementing postgres.app. I still get the warning message but my Ruby on Rails applications are able to find the correct gems and run successfully.

You should add the line like this
export PATH= '/Users/myusername/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.0#mygemset/bin:other"
Maybe that can help you
