You should export environment variables such as PATH in
‘~/.bash_profile’ instead of ‘~/.bashrc’. :-)
Quoting the documentation[1]:
Users sometimes wrongfully augment environment variables such as
‘PATH’ in their ‘~/.bashrc’ file. As a consequence, when ‘guix
environment’ launches it, Bash may read ‘~/.bashrc’, thereby
introducing “impurities” in these environment variables. It is an
error to define such environment variables in ‘.bashrc’; instead,
they should be defined in ‘.bash_profile’, which is sourced only by
log-in shells. See ‘Bash Startup Files[2]’, for details on Bash
start-up files.
Cheers,
Clément
