Broken environment in latest version

[AmrSaber]

In version 2025.11.8 I have a consistent problem with gradle. I have in my mise.toml as following

[tools]
gradle = "8"

And it appears when I run mise ls

gradle       8.14.3    /my-project/mise.toml        8

Running mise where gradle gives ~/.local/share/mise/installs/gradle/8.14.3.

Running gradle --version returns an error that it does not exist and running mise which gradle gives the error:

mise ERROR gradle is not a mise bin. Perhaps you need to install it first.
mise ERROR Run with --verbose or MISE_VERBOSE=1 for more information

Also gradle does not appear in mise env, while other tools appear.

This might be related to #6661 but now it is happening consistently.

I can't even figure out a work-around to get it working temporarily.

Environment

I see this problem on AL2 server (mise installed via brew), and in ubuntu image on Gitlab (mise installed via curl install script).

This has been fixed in #7069. The issue was a bug in the aqua template parser where whitespace before pipe operators was not being skipped, causing templates like {{.AssetWithoutExt | trimSuffix "-bin"}} to be incorrectly parsed.

The fix is included in the next release. In the meantime, you can build from source to get the fix.

Thanks for reporting!

Thank you for looking into this. As an ugly fix instead of just gradle ... I use $(find $(mise where gradle) -name gradle -type f) ... which reads the binary from within the install directory. Building the source would complicate CI setup a bit, so I will work with this work-around for now.
