Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion

[ljharb]

not nvm ls-remote, nvm_ls_remote

[showcup]

not nvm ls-remote, nvm_ls_remote

The output is N/A

[ljharb]

Essentially this means it's unable to get a listing from https://nodejs.org/dist - presumably nvm_ls_remote_index_tab node std '' returns N/A as well?

I'm happy to try to debug this further; the curl -I --compressed -v https://nodejs.org/dist/ command in your OP worked, which is strange. Do you have anything set in ~/.curlrc that would make the curl command pass, but nvm's curl commands (which ignore curlrc) fail?

For example, does a working internet connection require a proxy or something?

My computer does not have the ~/.curlrc file.

I believe the request to https://nodejs.org/dist/ is okay. In the web browser, access https://nodejs.org/dist/, refer to the screenshot below.

The curl command accessing https://nodejs.org/dist/ also works normally, It a longer duration, But it's fast in the browser. Please see the attached screenshot for reference.

No Proxy were started during the above tests.

[ljharb]

The actual file nvm requests is https://nodejs.org/dist/index.tab, if that has different results. Not sure how else to help tho :-/

Does nvm generate log files?

[ljharb]

No. You can set -x and see a ton of extra output, though.

[frankshaka]

I resolved this by removing the following line of environment variable definition in my bash profile:

export NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=http://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/node

This issue may be related to the recent ban against NPM/Docker mirror sites within China mainland.

[ljharb]

aha, I missed that in your OP's nvm debug output. Either way I'd assume it'd need https, but certainly if China has blocked a site then there's nothing that nvm can do about it.

Glad you figured it out!
