I am using this command to open Cmakelist file with the rosed command $ rosed my_pack CmakeLists.txt but I am getting this error

find: paths must precede expression: 'WORKSPACES/CH3' That file does not exist in that package.

I did that after sourcing my workspace and rosed command can identify what file I am looking for when I press TAP to autocomplete filename, it lists all files in my package [package.xml CmakeLists.txt *.py *.py ...] so how can I fix that?

Are you sure the name is CmakeLists.txt? Usually, the name is CMakeLists.txt

tried CMakeLists.txt but still the same problem , I think it is related to Ros Environment variables specially CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH & ROS_WORKSPACE

I think the problem is that ROS environment variables CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH & ROS_WORKSPACE which are both empty in my workspace even I had sourced the setup.bash file and thinks running well in my workspace
thus if anyone know what values I should set these variables with please mention that?

CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH on my computer is: /opt/ros/kinetic and There is no ROS_WORKSPACE variable set.

rosed works properly here.

the problem was with my file name , I didn't follow the naming convention of ROS which was not using any capital letters in directory or package name , thus after editing them and passing through build issues I had it Working properly now thanks @Teo Cardoso your answer helped me a lot to identify the issue
