Regression about local plugin repositories

[greg0ire]

I installed mise a long time ago, and decided to reinstall it today with yay to stay up to date, but it made something that worked before fail: working with local plugins.

I had this in my file:

[plugins]
example = "/home/gregoire/workspace/mise-kafka-sync"

And now I cannot install the plugin

$ RUST_BACKTRACE=full mise --verbose plugins install example
DEBUG ARGS: mise --verbose plugins install example
DEBUG EnvResults
DEBUG config: ~/.config/mise/config.toml
Error:
   0: No repository found for plugin example

Location:
   src/plugins/asdf_plugin.rs:54

Run with COLORBT_SHOW_HIDDEN=1 environment variable to disable frame filtering.

A workaround is to push the repository to Gitlab.

This has now been fixed by #11487, which has been merged into main.

Local filesystem paths can now be used directly in [plugins], including absolute paths, ~/..., and explicit ./... or ../... paths. Relative paths are resolved from the directory containing the config file.

Local plugins are installed as symlinks into mise’s plugins directory, so changes made in the source directory are reflected immediately. Existing file:// sources continue to use the Git clone behavior.

The original configuration should therefore work again:

[plugins]
example = "/home/gregoire/workspace/mise-kafka-sync"

If an existing plugin installation needs to be replaced with the local source, run:

mise plugins install --force example

Thanks for reporting this regression!
