Invalid website

Error message

Invalid website '{path}'

What it means

Thrown by resolve_paths when a user-supplied path argument cannot be classified as a local file, directory, remote URL, external command (`...`), protocol path, or known special token like %%. It is a generic validation guard: the input at fault is the unrecognized 'path' string in the paths list passed from from_files.

Solutions

1. Check the path for typos or unsupported protocol prefixes
2. If it is a remote resource, ensure it uses a supported scheme such as http:// or https://
3. If it is meant to run a command, wrap it in backticks (e.g. `ls -la`)
4. Verify the file or directory exists locally if no scheme was intended

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at src/config/input.rs:416 when the library encounters an invalid state.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
