Why I need to source ~/.zshrc everytime when I starting a new term

I just install zsh, and i just copy my custom setting from my old pc(~/.zshrc),
but i need to source ~/.zshrc every time then the theme and plugins will take effect.

It’s weired that it seem that it has run the ~/.zshrc because i have add an inexistent dir to the file.
it will show this error every time.

/home/yougaopeng/.zshrc:source:117: no such file or dir: /home/yougaopeng/catkin_ws/devel/setup.zsh

pic2: after source the file

$ cat /etc/shells                                
# Pathnames of valid login shells.
# See shells(5) for details.
/bin/sh
/bin/bash
/usr/bin/git-shell
/bin/zsh
/usr/bin/zsh
$ echo $SHELL      
/bin/zsh

It seems that the zsh is using other config file by default?
how can I do to make it auto source my setting ??

What does ls -la .z* return?

I have renamed the .zshrc.pre-oh-my-zsh by adding 1111.

At work (windows :frowning: ), but I think .zshrc needs to be executable.

chmod +x .zshrc ## If I remember correctly!!!!

.zshrc should not be executable.

@canyue980, can we see the full contents of your .zshrc?

It doesn’t seem so… Not in my account files :man_shrugging: or in Archwiki (on a quick glance).

Was it an Arch installation?
Arch has some differences from upstream configuration.
Anyway, you are probably doing something wrong. Check zsh Archwiki to clear out that.

Yeh, at work - lots of stuff is blocked :frowning: Surprised I can get on here :rofl:

I tried to add +x but still not working.

@canyue980 Remove or comment out this line in ~/.zshrc and run source ~/.zshrc.

nope, I just copy this .zshrc file.

Oh-my-zsh is bloat.

Have you checked Archwiki?
