Closes the confusion in #12250.

Problem

mise lock scopes to the active project config root and filters out every global config path (src/cli/lock.rs config_paths_in_lock_scope). When the only configs in scope are global, there are no lockfile targets and it prints a bare ! No tools configured to lock — with no hint that mise lock --global is the command that works.

This is most confusing in the dotfiles layout from the discussion, where ~/.config/mise/config.toml is a symlink to the repo's own mise.toml:

  • Both paths reach one file, so mise merges them into a single config entry keyed by the project path.
  • is_global_config still matches it, via the desymlink_path comparison in config_set_contains (added for symlinked prefixes like Fedora Atomic's /home -> /var/home). That's the right call — the file genuinely is the global config, and it needs global-only settings honored.
  • So mise lock run from inside the repo reports nothing to lock, while mise ls resolves the tools fine. The reporter had to fall back to MISE_CONFIG_DIR="$(mktemp -d)" mise lock.

Change

Detect the case from the resolved toolset and name the command that works:

! No tools configured to lock in this project, but global config declares tools. Run mise lock --global to lock those.

Global lockfiles stay explicit via --global, as documented — no scoping behavior changes. The message also improves the plain case of standing in a directory with no project config while the real global config declares tools.

Verified mise lock --global writes the lockfile beside the symlink target (~/dotfiles/mise.lock) with concrete versions, checksums, URLs, and provenance, so the reporter's stale-entry problem is fixed without the MISE_CONFIG_DIR workaround.

Tests

Four cases added to e2e/cli/test_lock_global, all passing:

  • tools only in a real global config, cwd has no project config -> hint
  • global config symlinked to a project mise.toml, run from the repo -> hint, then --global locks it to dotfiles/mise.lock
  • nothing configured anywhere -> unchanged bare message, no --global hint
  • project config with tools -> unchanged happy path (pre-existing assertions)

cargo clippy --workspace --all-features --all-targets -- -D warnings and cargo test --bin mise cli::lock are clean.

Docs get a short "Global Lockfiles" section covering the symlinked-dotfiles case.

Note

Low Risk
CLI messaging and docs only; lockfile scoping and writes are unchanged. Risk is limited to a misleading hint in edge cases, which the new e2e coverage targets.

Overview
When mise lock finds nothing in project scope, it now tells you to run mise lock --global if tools actually live in global (or system) config. Locking behavior is unchanged; this is a message-only fix for the empty-project and symlinked-dotfiles cases.

The hint is skipped for --local/--global runs, when nothing is configured anywhere, and when a tool selector does not match a globally declared tool. Docs add a short Global Lockfiles section covering mise lock --global and writing the lockfile next to a symlink target.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added clearer guidance when tools are configured globally but excluded from standard lock operations.
    • Global tools can now be locked using mise lock --global.
    • Locking provides relevant guidance based on selected global tools.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected mise lock --local behavior when no local tools are configured.
  • Documentation

    • Documented global lockfile behavior, including symlinked configurations and lockfile locations.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for global-only configurations, selectors, symlinked setups, lockfile creation, and unconfigured scenarios.

`mise lock` scopes to the active project config root and drops every global
config path, so a config that only exists globally produced a bare
"No tools configured to lock" with no hint that `mise lock --global` would
work.

This is most confusing in the dotfiles layout from #12250, where
~/.config/mise/config.toml is a symlink to a repo's own mise.toml. The two
paths reach one file, `is_global_config` matches it through the desymlinked
comparison, and the merged config counts as global — so `mise lock` run from
inside the repo reports nothing to lock while `mise ls` happily resolves the
tools.

Detect the case from the resolved toolset and name the command that works.
Global lockfiles stay explicit via `--global`, as documented.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The lock command suggests mise lock --global only for matching global tools. End-to-end tests cover global-only, symlinked, selector-specific, local, and unconfigured cases. Documentation describes global lockfiles and symlink handling.

Changes

Global lock guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Detect matching global tools
src/cli/lock.rs
The command filters global tools against explicit selectors. Local-only runs retain the generic no-tools message.
Validate global locking behavior
e2e/cli/test_lock_global, docs/dev-tools/mise-lock.md
Tests cover global-only tools, symlinked configurations, selectors, local locking, and empty configurations. Documentation describes mise lock --global and lockfile locations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 703d1

Explicit tool selectors can hide guidance about globally configured tools when unrelated project tools are present, which may leave users without the expected command hint. Locking behavior is otherwise unchanged, so the PR is mergeable with owner awareness or follow-up on this bounded messaging issue.

Local runs keep hints aside.

P2 Avoid manual E2E cleanup

The new rm commands here and at line 77 duplicate cleanup already owned by the E2E harness, making these scenarios depend on manual fixture lifecycle management.

Not changing this one — these rms are setup, not teardown.

The AGENTS.md rule ("E2E tests do not need cleanup steps") is about end-of-test teardown, which the harness handles by giving each test its own directory. Within a single test file, scenarios share that directory, so resetting config state between them is what makes the next scenario meaningful — removing mise.toml is precisely what creates the "no project-scoped tools" condition being tested. Dropping those lines would silently invalidate the scenarios rather than tidy them.

This also matches the pre-existing convention in this same file, which already does rm -f mise.lock "$MISE_CONFIG_DIR/mise.lock" system-config/mise.lock between its two scenarios.

You're right — I misread these as teardown. They're inter-scenario state resets that establish the preconditions for the next case, and removing them would silently invalidate the scenarios. The distinction from teardown (which the harness handles) is clear. Thanks for the clarification.

`mise lock node` could point at `mise lock --global` because the hint scanned
every global tool, not the ones the run asked for. Filter by the selector, so
the hint still fires for `mise lock jq` when jq is global-only but stays quiet
for a tool that isn't in global config at all.

`mise lock --local` targets mise.local.lock and has no global equivalent, so
pointing it at `mise lock --global` steered users out of the scope they asked
for. Suppress the hint there.

409-417: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not suppress the hint when the project has unrelated tools.

This branch is skipped when has_lock_targets is set at Lines 253-258. configured_tool_selectors_for_target adds every project declaration at Lines 745-750, even when self.tool filters those declarations out. Therefore, with global jq, project node, and mise lock jq, tools is empty but has_lock_targets is true. The command prints neither the mise lock --global hint nor the no-tools message.

Set has_lock_targets from selected tools, or count configured_selectors only for unfiltered runs. Add an end-to-end case with an unrelated project tool.

Proposed fix
-            if configured_selectors
+            if self.is_unfiltered_lock_run()
+                && configured_selectors
