direnv runs in emulated x86_64 environment

Question

direnv is running in an emulated environment with Rosetta, despite my shell running in a normal environment. I am on mac osx and recently ran the migration tool from an x86_64 to M2 macbook pro.

• My shell is running in a normal environment, confirmed with arm64 output from uname -m
• direnv runs in an emulated environment, confirmed with x86_64 output from direnv exec . uname -m
• Uninstalling and reinstalling direnv does not help

Answer 1

I installed direnv with Homebrew. Homebrew itself was Rosetta enabled, running brew config will output Rosetta: true. I fixed the problem by doing the following:

1. Uninstall homebrew with the instructions here.
2. Reinstall homebrew with the instructions here
3. Reinstall direnv with homebrew: brew install direnv

Hope this helps others running into the same problem.
