z only works on second input

[mhkeller]

Let's say I have a folder that I access frequently called foo that livest at /path/to/foo. If I type z foo, nothing happens. However, if I run this command a second time, it works. I'm on macOS 14.5. Any pointers in how to debug this to see what's going wrong? Is there a verbose mode?

edit: It seems any call to z only works after z was called once in that shell session. As long as I do z and hit return once, it will be fine for that session.
