Warning! PATH is not properly set up, /Users/me/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.3/bin is not at first place

Question

Description

I am still getting the warning given below when I run rvm -v.

Warning! PATH is not properly set up, /Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.3/bin is not at first place.
         Usually this is caused by shell initialization files. Search for PATH=... entries.
         You can also re-add RVM to your profile by running: rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles
         To fix it temporarily in this shell session run: rvm use ruby-2.7.3
         To ignore this error add rvm_silence_path_mismatch_check_flag=1 to your ~/.rvmrc file.
rvm 1.29.12-next (master) by Michal Papis, Piotr Kuczynski, Wayne E. Seguin [https://rvm.io]

Although it seemed to me that RVM was successfully installed after type rvm | head -1 returned rvm is a function.

Steps to reproduce

I am using OS X for Apple Silicon - Mac M1, with bash as the default shell. So, I installed default Ruby and installed Git, to reinstall them with homebrew.

.bash_profile

source ~/.profile
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.3/bin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.3@global/bin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/bin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/bin

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.3/bin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.3@global/bin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/bin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/bin

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.3/bin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.3@global/bin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/bin:/Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/bin

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH"
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

.zshrc if required.

eval "$(rbenv init -)"

# Add RVM to PATH for scripting. Make sure this is the last PATH variable change.
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

# Add RVM to PATH for scripting. Make sure this is the last PATH variable change.

# Add RVM to PATH for scripting. Make sure this is the last PATH variable change.
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin"

.bashrc

# Add RVM to PATH for scripting. Make sure this is the last PATH variable change.
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin"

and trying to install RVM following the steps listed below:

Install gpg using Homebrew to verify the integrity of the RVM installer. brew install gpg brew doctor And got Your system is ready to brew. which seems that I successfully added it.
Download the public key for the RVM installer. gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB and I am not getting any error, also seems to be successful.
To install RVM and the latest version of ruby and rails, which is probably a good idea, use the following command. \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --autolibs=enable which is returning the following (seems to be OK):

As a final step to verify that everything went well. type rvm | head -1 which is returning rvm is a function. And this confirms that installation was successful as per rvm.oi documentation.

Expected behavior

When I run rvm -v, at least, I was expecting that there will not be the warning shown on the top Description section, which also briefly given below:

Warning! PATH is not properly set up, /Users/sarvarkhalimov/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.3/bin is not at first place.

Actual behavior

I think I included it above in Steps to reproduce section.

Debug mode:

I have tried the solutions given in this issue or stackoverflow, but I still couldn't resolve this $PATH warning.

Environment info

Running rvm info returns:

Thanks in advance! I had created an issue on rvm repo as well.

Solution

I found the solution here which states the following:

I encountered a similar error using Mac OS 10.14.6 and RVM 1.29.9.

For me the issue was resolved by moving the following code in my .bash_profile to the bottom of the file:
# RVM can encounter errors if it's not the last thing in .bash_profile
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin" # Add RVM to path for scripting (to manage Ruby versions)
export PATH="$GEM_HOME/bin:$PATH"
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"  # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
