What causes "no configured repo matched path: {filter}" in jdx/mise?

Use the exact path string from the config (raw or expanded) as the filter

no configured repo matched path: {filter}

Error message

no configured repo matched path: {filter}

What it means

filter_repos (src/cli/bootstrap.rs:3484) validates every repo/path filter against the configured RepoRequests: a filter must equal either repo.path_raw (the literal configured string) or repo.path (its replace_path/tilde-expanded form), otherwise mise bails instead of silently operating on zero repos.

Solutions

Use the exact path string from the config (raw or expanded) as the filter
Match the config's convention: if config says ~/src/app, pass --repo '~/src/app' (quoted so the shell does not expand it differently)
Print the configured repos (e.g. via the plan output) and copy the path verbatim
Drop the filter entirely to operate on all configured repos

Example fix

# before: config has '~/src/app'
mise bootstrap dev --repo /home/me/src/app/
# Error: no configured repo matched path: /home/me/src/app/

# after
mise bootstrap dev --repo '~/src/app'

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

# bash: ensure the filter matches a configured repo path before running
grep -F "$FILTER" mise.toml >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "no configured repo matches: $FILTER" >&2; exit 1; }

Prevention

Quote filters so ~ stays literal when the config uses ~
Copy repo paths verbatim from the config or plan output
Avoid trailing slashes and symlinked spellings in filters

When it happens

Trigger: 'mise bootstrap <part> --repo /wrong/path'; a filter differing from the configured path by a trailing slash, symlink resolution, ~ vs $HOME expansion, or case; a path that exists locally but is not among the configured repos.

Common situations: Scripts hardcoding absolute paths while config uses '~/src/app'; moving the project; paths copy-pasted from shell completion that normalize differently.
