MacOS – $PATH only shows RVM files-other Path are not shown in Macbook

catalinamacospathterminal

When I run echo $PATH I always get Ruby or RVM bin files and does not get any of the path I added in my .bash_profile; I am using a MacBook Pro and running Catalina. I am using the default terminal to review my Path .. I checked .bashprofile, .profile and also .bashrc, what could be wrong here?

echo $PATH results :

/Users/rr/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.0/bin:/Users/rr/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.0@global/bin:/Users/rr/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.0/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Applications/VMwareFusion.app/Contents/Public:/Users/rr/.rvm/bin

rr@rr-MacBook-Pro ~ % echo $CLASSPATH -- returns null value

.Bash_profile :

#export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
export JAVA_HOME=$PATH:/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home
export M2_HOME=$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.6.3_1
#export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin
#export TOMCAT_HOME=$PATH:/usr/local/apache-tomcat-9.0.31
#export PATH=$PATH:$TOMCAT_HOME/bin
#export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export PATH=$PATH:/Library/PostgreSQL/12/bin
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/Library/PostgreSQL/12/bin

I followed the steps provided in the Apple website on how to change the shell and restarted my Terminal app as a Bash shell instead of zsh shell - then I was able to verify the Class path and the PATH Environment variables without any issues
