.zshrc inconsistent type for assignment?

Question

I install MongoDB by using homebrew

and set the path within .zshrc:

export path=/usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/3.4.6/bin:$PATH

But when I open the iTerm2, the stdout give me this:

/Users/elsa/.zshrc:export:95: path: inconsistent type for assignment

what's this? how to solve it?

Answer 1

Lowercase path should be uppercase.

export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/3.4.6/bin:$PATH

Answer 2

I got this when changing a value for JAVA17_HOME. Doing

unset JAVA17_HOME

and then setting it again worked.
