Error message

the packslip of {} declares a {shell} completion, but none of the files it names are in the install: the resource fetch failed or was skipped

What it means

The tool's packslip statement declares that it ships a completion for this shell, but completion_sources() found none of the named completion files actually present in the install directory. This means the resource fetch that should have copied those files into the install failed or was skipped, leaving the declared resources missing on disk.

Solutions

1. Reinstall the tool so resources are fetched: `mise uninstall <tool> && mise install <tool>`.
2. Check install logs with MISE_DEBUG=1 during install to see why the resource fetch failed or was skipped.
3. Verify network access and that the release's resources are downloadable; then reinstall.
4. If a variant option is set, confirm the variant's resources exist in the packslip.

Example fix

// before: partial install, resources missing
mise install gh
mise completion bash --tool gh  # fails
// after
mise uninstall gh && mise install gh
mise completion bash --tool gh

let files = declared_completion_files(&statement, install_path);
let missing: Vec<_> = files.iter().filter(|f| !f.exists()).collect();
if !missing.is_empty() { eprintln!("resources missing: {missing:?}; reinstall"); }

fn resources_present(install: &Path, shell: &str) -> bool {
    install.join("resources").join("completions").join(shell).exists()
}

loop {
    match completion_script(&config, tool, shell) {
        Ok(s) => break Ok(s),
        Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("resource fetch failed or was skipped") => { reinstall(tool)?; continue; }
        Err(e) => break Err(e),
    }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running `mise completion <shell> --tool <tool>` where declares_completion(&statement, shell) is true but the files the packslip names do not exist under the install path — e.g. the resource fetch was interrupted, skipped for a variant mismatch, or failed during install.

Common situations: Install completed with resource download failures; installing a variant whose resources were not fetched; read-only or partially-extracted installs; offline installs that skipped resources.

Understand the failure class

Background: "File not found" and ENOENT errors: why libraries can't find a file that should exist — this error's family across 50 libraries.
