bug: No version is set for nodejs; please run `asdf set [options] nodejs <version>`

[conradwt]

Describe the Bug

I installed asdf using sudo port install asdf.

➜ asdf --version
asdf version 0.18.0 (revision unknown)

Next, I have the following .tool-versions within my $HOME directory:

erlang 28.0.2
elixir 1.18.4-otp-28
k3d 5.7.5
nodejs system
gleam 1.12.0

Furthermore, I installed NodeJS via MacPorts and configured it with asdf:

➜ node -v
v22.19.0
asdf set -u nodejs system
➜ asdf current             
Name            Version         Source                         Installed
elixir          1.18.4-otp-28   /Users/$USER/.tool-versions true
erlang          28.0.2          /Users/$USER/.tool-versions true
gleam           1.12.0          /Users/$USER/.tool-versions true
k3d             5.8.3           /Users/$USER/.tool-versions true
nodejs          system          /Users/$USER/.tool-versions true

Now, when I execute npm -v or install any utility, I'm seeing the following message:

➜ npm -v
No version is set for nodejs; please run `asdf set [options] nodejs <version>`
11.4.2

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install NodeJS 22 via MacPorts
2. configure nodejs via ASDF
3. check the version of npm or install Node package

Expected Behaviour

I would expect the following output:

➜ npm -v
11.4.2

Actual Behaviour

I'm seeing the following output:

➜ npm -v
No version is set for nodejs; please run `asdf set [options] nodejs <version>`
11.4.2

Environment
