vimr: vimr no longer reads ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

OS X: 10.12.1 vimr: Version 0.11.0-SNAPSHOT-20161111.2237 (124)

On start, vimr no longer seems to read (or respect) the settings I have in ~/.config/nvim/init.vim (for example, my colorscheme is not chosen, line numbers are not set, etc.). In addition, if I try to manually load the colorscheme I want with :colorscheme github, I get the error, “E185: Cannot find the color scheme ‘github’”. (I don’t have these problems when using neovim in the terminal.)

This issue has returned with macOS Mojave 10.14 Beta and Snapshot 293.

If I issue the :source ~/.config/nvim/init.vim command manually, then it loads. In Terminal.app, nvim loads the config correctly. I also tried the old “v0.11.0-SNAPSHOT-20161113.1502-126” here, and that does work correctly; that old snapshot does load my init.vim.

I also have the problem of VimR not finding init.vim.

:healthcheck shows:

but the file is definitely there and can be loaded manually with :source.

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Strangely, it works if I run VimR as root. The permissions seem fine however
