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.

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.
    • Added a clear error message and failure status when completion generation is unavailable.
    • Increased compatibility with different completion support configurations.

`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 now checks three Typer module locations for get_completion_script. It centralizes the unavailable message and exits with status 1 only after all imports fail.

Changes

Shell completion fallback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Completion script resolution
packages/moss-cli/src/moss_cli/commands/completions.py
The command checks typer.main, typer.completion, and typer._completion_shared. It uses the shared _UNAVAILABLE message when no import succeeds.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2c34d

Completion generation now supports additional Typer locations, but runtime failures inside a Typer import may be hidden and produce a fallback result instead of the underlying error. Narrowing the handlers to import errors would make failures diagnosable.

🟢 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.

Catch only import errors in all fallback handlers.

Each from typer... statement can execute module initialization. A TypeError or RuntimeError can be caught and replaced by a private fallback or _UNAVAILABLE. Use except ImportError for all three import attempts.
