zsh no longer inherit my $PATH.

zsh no longer inherit my $PATH.

[Piotr Karbowski]

For some reason zsh scripts no longer preserve $PATH that I modify in my 
.zshrc.

if I do: echo -e '#!/bin/zsh \n echo $PATH' >test.zsh && chmod +x 
test.zsh && ./test.zsh the $PATH is altered, it wasnt as-is

moving PATH altering part to .zshenv does 'fix' it but I would like to 
know how can I restore old behivor.

If I run script with /bin/sh shebang, it will preserve my $PATH and this 
is exacly what I want, but with zsh, which is essential.

Does your /etc/zshenv or .zshenv set $PATH in any way? If they do, that is the $PATH that your zsh scripts will see. Only interactive shells source .zshrc.

What's really stupid about that bug is that whoever made the most recent
change does not appear to have read/understood the comment thread in the
bug tracker, which clearly explains why /etc/zshenv is the WRONG place to
do this.

Well, strictly speaking it's fine to do this in /etc/zshenv PROVIDED that
the environment is changed NON-DESTRUCTIVELY.  In the case of PATH/path,
that means adding missing directories without deleting any that are already
there.

One approach would be to test [[ -o login ]] and set the path
unconditionally when that is true, or add to it when that is false.
