Upgraded to Ventura and now unable to run zsh scripts

Any help with this? I upgraded to Ventura and now I am unable to run any of my scripts. Running macOS 13.0.1 (22A400).

I have a simple script:

#!/bin/sh

echo "The script is running"


When I type: test.sh (the name of the script) in the dir where the script is located (so I know it can find the script) I get:


zsh: command not found: test.sh


No idea why this is happening. Apple phone support told me to reload Ventura which doesnt sound like a very good option.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.0

The Zsh shell would prefer you use the following format, though #!/bin/sh will just run the old Bash 3.2 shell instead.


#!/bin/zsh

echo "The script is running."
exit 0


You must make the script executable and then run it in the current directory by telling Zsh where it is, and dot is just a shortcut to tell the shell that I am right here (.) in this directory location:


chmod +x ./test.sh
./test.sh


I give my Zsh scripts a .zsh extension so the type of script is obvious.
