Reshim is needed after installing a binary

[fvictorio]

After doing something like cargo install bat, I expect bat to be available in my $PATH, but I have to run asdf reshim rust first. Is this something that can be fixed/improved?

[nickveys]

I honestly don't know enough about asdf to know if it can. Definitely open to help if anyone knows. I did find a couple issues that seem similar and it looks like reshim might be the "fix".

• How to access binaries installed by versions? asdf-vm/asdf#107
• npm seems to be tripping on asdf asdf-vm/asdf#162

Maybe someone in the core contributors can help.

@Stratus3D, sorry for the notification, but do you know if this is something that can be fixed from the plugin side?

[Stratus3D]

Some plugins strategically call the reshim command at certain times, like https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs/blob/master/bin/postinstall. But for most plugins it's best just to run reshim when you need to.

Huh, for me reshim isn't working to generate shim for a newly installed binary:

~/.cargo/bin/turbocommit

Has anyone else run into this?
