macOS Catalina 10.15(beta) - Why is ~/.bash_profile not sourced by my shell?

bash, environment-variables, macos-catalina, shell, zsh

Solution

Apple has changed the default shell to zsh. Therefore you have to rename your configuration files. `.bashrc` is now `.zshrc` and `.bash_profile` is now `.zprofile`.

Problem

I want to set the environment variable I added below the line to `~/.bash_profile` and `~/.profile` but it didn't work. ``` export JBOSS_HOME=/Users/{USERNAME}/Desktop/jboss7 ``` Afterward, exit the terminal and open it again when executing `echo $JBOSS_HOME` I get nothing.
