How did you install nvm?

install script

What steps did you perform?

Change directory to a project that contains an invalid .nvmrc file and have the zsh integration enabled

# .nvmrc
engine-strict=true
19.4.0

What happened?

Switching to the directory containing a .nvmrc that has a key-value in it with the zsh integration active, displays an error

But running npx nvmrc validates the configuration.
Reordering the key-value in the .nvmrc file to come after the version fixes the issue. Also, without changing the .nvmrc file, disabling the zsh integration and explicitly executing nvm use in the directory causes no error.

What did you expect to happen?

Using the zsh integration to work the same as if I explicitly ran nvm use in the directory containing the nvmrc file.

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

I have changes in my PATH but the issue also occurs when performed in a clean codesandbox instance

fwiw engine-strict=true goes in .npmrc, and doesn't do anything in .nvmrc, but that doesn't change that there's some bug here.

[ljharb]

on my mac, that nvmrc content works fine.

that suggests there's something going on with sed. the codesandbox is "locked" so i can't access it, but is there any chance that you're using any zsh global aliases, particularly one for sed?
