fix(cli): restore shell completion script generation by anishmehta24 · Pull Request #515 · usemoss/moss

anishmehta24 · 2026-09-08T19:42:15Z

Problem

moss completions bash and moss completions zsh always fail on a healthy install:

$ moss completions bash
Shell completion is unavailable in this Typer installation.
$ echo $?
1

The two existing tests in tests/test_completions.py fail on main for this reason (28 passed, 2 failed).

Root cause

Two separate defects in packages/moss-cli/src/moss_cli/commands/completions.py:

1. The working import path was never tried. The fallback chain attempts typer.main.get_completion_script, then typer._completion_shared.get_completion_script. Neither resolves on current Typer — but typer.completion.get_completion_script does, with an identical signature:

>>> from typer.completion import get_completion_script
>>> inspect.signature(get_completion_script)
(*, prog_name: str, complete_var: str, shell: str) -> str

2. The fallback could not succeed even if the import worked. After the inner except, control fell through to an unconditional print_error(...) / raise typer.Exit(1), so a successful typer._completion_shared import would still have errored out.

Fix

Add typer.completion to the import chain.
Nest the handlers so the failure message is raised only once every path is exhausted.
Lift the message to a module constant instead of duplicating the string.

Verification

	before	after
`pytest tests/`	28 passed, 2 failed	30 passed
`black --check`	—	clean
`isort --check-only`	—	clean
`mypy`	—	clean
flake8 `E501` in this file	2	1

moss completions bash now emits a valid script:

$ moss completions bash
_moss_completion() {
    local IFS=$'\n'
    COMPREPLY=( $( env COMP_WORDS="${COMP_WORDS[*]}" \
                   COMP_CWORD=$COMP_CWORD \
                   _MOSS_COMPLETE=complete_bash $1 ) )

Relationship to #404

#404 includes a shell-completion fix among other changes. This PR is a targeted alternative to just that portion — one file, +10/−12, no lockfile churn — since #404 currently reports conflicts. Happy to close this if #404 lands first.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved shell completion setup across supported CLI environments.
- Increased compatibility with different completion support configurations.
- Added a clear error message when completion generation is unavailable.
- The CLI now exits with a failure status when completion scripts cannot be generated, making setup issues easier to identify.
- Existing completion behavior remains available across environments using different supported completion mechanisms.

`moss completions bash|zsh` always failed with "Shell completion is unavailable in this Typer installation" and exited 1, even on a healthy install. Two separate defects: 1. The import fallback tried `typer.main.get_completion_script` and then `typer._completion_shared.get_completion_script`. Neither resolves on current Typer, but `typer.completion.get_completion_script` does, with an identical `(prog_name, complete_var, shell)` signature. It was never attempted. 2. Even when the inner import succeeded, control fell through to an unconditional `print_error(...)` / `raise typer.Exit(1)`, so the fallback path could never succeed regardless of the import. Adds `typer.completion` to the chain and nests the error handling so the failure message is raised only when every import path is exhausted. The message is lifted to a module constant to avoid duplicating it. This makes the two existing tests in tests/test_completions.py pass (28 passed / 2 failed -> 30 passed). black, isort and mypy are clean; the file has one fewer flake8 E501 than before.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The completion command checks three Typer module locations for get_completion_script. It centralizes the unavailable message and exits with status 1 only when no provider is found. Tests cover provider precedence and unavailable behavior.

Changes

Shell completion fallback

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Completion script resolution and validation `packages/moss-cli/src/moss_cli/commands/completions.py`, `packages/moss-cli/tests/test_completions.py`	The command resolves `get_completion_script` from `typer.main`, `typer.completion`, or `typer._completion_shared`. Tests verify fallback order, missing modules, and the unavailable exit path.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5e16d

The compatibility fallback lacks coverage for the typer.completion provider itself. The implementation currently appears correct, but adding the focused test would protect the intended compatibility behavior.

🟢 Approval recommended

The updated nested fallback logic correctly resolves get_completion_script on modern Typer and only exits with an error when all completion APIs are unavailable.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes moss completions bash|zsh in the Moss CLI by restoring shell completion script generation across current Typer versions via a corrected import fallback chain and proper error handling.

Changes:

Adds typer.completion.get_completion_script as the primary fallback when typer.main.get_completion_script is unavailable.
Fixes the previous exception-flow fall-through so an error is only emitted after all import paths are exhausted.
Deduplicates the failure message into a module-level constant.

Move the nested import fallbacks into _resolve_get_completion_script so the lookup order and the unavailable case can be exercised directly. Add tests that fake each Typer module to verify typer.main is preferred, missing modules or symbols fall through in order, and the command exits with the unavailable error when no API is found.

Add a direct typer.completion selection test.

The fallback test sets typer.completion to None, so the resolver skips it and selects typer._completion_shared. Add a case with typer.main=False, typer.completion=True, and typer._completion_shared=True. Assert that the returned function produces "script from typer.completion".
