Incorrect config_root for project/.mise/config.toml

[Ernest0-Production]

Based on the documentation https://mise.jdx.dev/templates.html#variables

config_root: PathBuf – Locates the directory containing your mise.toml file, or in the case of something like ~/src/myproj/.config/mise.toml, it will point to ~/src/myproj.

I would expect that in the case of ~/src/myproj/.mise/config.toml, the value from template variable {{ config_root }} would return me ~/src/myproj, but it returns ~/src/myproj/.mise/

mise version:
2024.10.13 macos-arm64 (ee83488 2024-10-28

I'm not sure if #4041 regressed this, but On 2025.1.8, I'm seeing the same issue but for .config/mise.toml rather than .mise/config.toml where I'm getting ~/src/myproj/.config for {{ config_root }}:

❯ echo $PWD
/tmp/mise-4041

❯ bat --terminal-width=40 .config/mise.toml
───────┬────────────────────────────────
       │ File: .config/mise.toml
───────┼────────────────────────────────
   1   │ [tasks.cwd]
   2   │ run = "echo $PWD"
───────┴────────────────────────────────

❯ mise run cwd
[cwd] $ echo $PWD
/private/tmp/mise-4041/.config

I don't think this behavior has changed recently. You can try in docker:

docker run --pull=always -it --rm --entrypoint bash jdxcode/mise:v2025.1.6

cd && mkdir -p prj && cd prj && mkdir -p .config && echo '[tasks.cwd]
run = "echo $PWD"' > .config/mise.toml && mise trust && mise run cwd
# mise trusted /root/prj
# [cwd] $ echo $PWD
# /root/prj/.config

In the original version mentioned in the discussion the behavior was different. Not sure in which version this changed

docker run --pull=always -it --rm --entrypoint bash jdxcode/mise:v2024.10.13

cd && mkdir -p prj && cd prj && mkdir -p .config && echo '[tasks.cwd]
run = "echo $PWD"' > .config/mise.toml && mise trust && mise run cwd
# mise trusted /root/prj/.config/mise.toml
# [cwd] $ echo $PWD
# /root/prj

I am not sure what's the expected behavior for PWD though. The fix in #4108 was only about config_root.

Ah, thanks - I hadn't had a chance to test on older versions yet.

I was using $PWD because that's initialized to {{ config_root }} for tasks.

Same result:

[tasks."cfg-root"]
run = "echo {{ config_root }}"

❯ mr cfg-root
[cfg-root] $ echo /private/tmp/mise-4041/.config
/private/tmp/mise-4041/.config

I'm having the same problem, but with a mise/config.toml file. Tasks are being run from ~/src/mise instead of ~/src. But it works properly wiath .mise/config.toml.

It looks like this was fixed by #4041 for the original case, but maybe this case without the leading period was overlooked there.
