No trigger found at path: ${path}

Error message

No trigger found at path: ${path}

What it means

Thrown by `wmill trigger get` when, after probing every known trigger kind (TRIGGER_TYPES) with getTrigger, no kind returned a trigger for the given path. The command tries each kind and swallows per-kind not-found errors, so this error means the trigger does not exist on the remote at all (or the path is mistyped), not that one kind rejected it.
