mise task `file` is not useable from subdirectory

[chronicc]

Describe the bug

[settings]
experimental = true

[tasks.kubernetes-up]
description = "Start a local Kubernetes cluster"
file = "kubernetes/k8s-start-cluster.sh"

# directory layout

+ project_root/
  + kubernetes/
    + k8s-start-cluster.sh
  + minikube/

I have a subdirectory kubernetes in which the script file k8s-start-cluster.sh is located. When I run mise run kubernetes-up from the project root, the script is successfully executed. When I run the same mise call from the minikube directory, the script file is not found as the path starts inside of the subdirectory instead of the project root.

To Reproduce

• Create directory structure and mise config as described above.
• Run mise run kubernetes-up from project root -> success
• Run mise run kubernetes-up from minikube subdirectory -> fail

Expected behavior Mise tasks should be able to run from any subdirectory.

Additional context

I've also tried using the explicit relative path:

[tasks.kubernetes-up]
description = "Start a local Kubernetes cluster"
file = "./kubernetes/k8s-start-cluster.sh"

[chronicc]

I've also tried to using the templating feature with no success.

[tasks.kubernetes-up]
description = "Start a local Kubernetes cluster"
file = "{{ config_root }}/kubernetes/k8s-start-cluster.sh"

Outcome

minikube$ mise run
 Tasks kubernetes-up
 Script `{{ config_root }}/kubernetes/k8s-start-cluster.sh` is not executable. Make it executable?

was running into the same issue, even tried with setting dir with no luck.

however seems like a workaround is to use the tasks dir setup.

directory layout:

sample
├── .mise
│  ├── config.toml
│  └── tasks
│     └── echo
└── nested_dir

content of echo script (needs to be executable)

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# mise dir="{{config_root}}"

echo "hello world"

this seems to work from the root & nested dir

# from project root
sample$ mise run echo
hello world

# from nested dir
nested_dir$ mise run echo
hello world

not ideal since now would need to have files for each task rather than defining them in the config.toml but could unblock some folks
