nvm not loaded

I work with nvm to load node and npm.

to use these binaries in the post-deploy hook (with the nvm user of course), the PATH seemed not to be set.

command not found: npm

a quick fix was for me to add the bin dir to the PATH, as:

 "post-deploy" : "export PATH=$PATH:/home/raf/.nvm/v0.10.34/bin/ && npm rebuild && pm2 startOrRestart ecosystem.json --env dev",
      env  : {
        NODE_ENV: "dev"
      }

This worked, but I doubt this is the recommended way. Anyone a suggestion how this fix can be avoided?

@josser @vinaynb @Unitech I exec command below:

pm2 deploy staging exec "echo $NVM_DIR"
--> Deploying to staging environment
--> on host 121.196.207.137
/Users/art/.nvm
--> Success

it is the local value not but server value of $NVM_DIR, see that, if I use ssh login server side and exec “echo $NVM_DIR”

➜  ~ echo $NVM_DIR
/root/.nvm

so if any solution ?

indeed, non-interactive shells are returned early with

case $- in
    *i*) ;;
      *) return;;
esac

thanks.
