Can't access shell_alias commands inside of TOML tasks

[john-flanagan]

I defined a shell_alias for a tool we distribute within our repository, but I'm not able to use that alias within a TOML task's run block.

TOML:

[shell_alias]
my_ls = 'ls'

[tasks.example]
run = "my_ls"

CLI:

$ mise example
[example] $ my_ls
sh: my_ls: command not found
[example] ERROR task failed

The same issue applies to other tools that require specific configuration options. For example, in my shell aliases:

[shell_alias]
cog = "cog --config {{ config_root }}/.config/cocogitto/config.toml"
typos = "typos --config {{ config_root }}/.config/typos/config.toml"
yamlfmt = "yamlfmt -conf {{ config_root }}/.config/yamlfmt/config.yml"

If I want to run cog, typos, or yamlfmt within a hk config file, I have to override the default built-in commands to inject the necessary configuration flags:

["yamlfmt"] = (Builtins.yamlfmt) {
    check_diff = "yamlfmt -conf .config/yamlfmt/config.yml -lint {{ files }}"
    fix = "yamlfmt -conf .config/yamlfmt/config.yml {{ files }}"
}
["typos"] = (Builtins.typos) {
  check_diff =
    """
    output=$(typos --config .config/typos/config.toml --force-exclude --diff {{ files }})
    [ -z "$output" ] && exit 0
    printf "%s" "$output"
    exit 1
    """
  fix = "typos --config .config/typos/config.toml --force-exclude --write-changes {{ files }}"
}

I’ve already opened a feature request on the Cocogitto repository to support configuration files via environment variables. However, relying on environment variables feels impractical for every potential command we might use in the future.
