ResponseCode.ConfigEditorConfigPathMissing

Error message

ConfigEditorConfigPathMissing

What it means

ConfigEditorConfigPathMissing is thrown in the ConfigEditor factory/constructor when the registered config object has no meta.configPath defined. The config editor needs to know the filesystem path of the config file it reads/writes; without it the module cannot function and fails fast at bootstrap.

Solutions

1. Set meta.configPath on the config passed to ConfigEditorModuleOptions (absolute path to the config file)
2. Ensure the config loader attaches meta (e.g. the loadConfig helper) rather than hand-building the object
3. If the config genuinely has no file, either provide a writable path for export or don't register the editor for it
4. Verify options.config is the enriched config instance, not a plain literal

Example fix

// before
ConfigEditorModule.register({ config: myConfig, schema: MySchema }) // myConfig.meta?.configPath undefined
// after
ConfigEditorModule.register({
  config: { ...myConfig, meta: { ...myConfig.meta, configPath: '/etc/app/config.yaml' } },
  schema: MySchema,
})

if (!options.config.meta?.configPath) throw new Error('config must define meta.configPath before registering ConfigEditorModule')

function hasConfigPath<T>(c: T & { meta?: { configPath?: string } }): c is T & { meta: { configPath: string } } {
  return typeof c.meta?.configPath === 'string' && c.meta.configPath.length > 0
}

When it happens

Trigger: Registering ConfigEditorModule with a config whose meta is undefined or lacks configPath (e.g. config built programmatically or loaded without meta enrichment).

Common situations: Custom config class constructed without the meta field; refactor removed meta.configPath; config loaded from a remote source where no file path applies but the editor still requires one; forgot to call the helper that attaches meta.
