bug: asdf says "no preset version installed" but it is

[samdeane]

Describe the Bug

asdf is complaining No preset version installed for command flutter

however, when I run the recommended command: asdf install flutter 3.13.6 it says: flutter 3.13.6 is already installed

And indeed it is in my .tool-versions:

> more .tool-versions                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
bun 1.0.7
protoc 3.20.2
golang 1.21.4
golangci-lint 1.55.1
flutter 3.13.6
ruby 3.1.2
bundler 2.4.21

and asdf thinks it is selected:

> asdf list flutter
*3.13.6
  3.16.0-stable

Steps to Reproduce

See above description.

Expected Behaviour

Either flutter should actually need installing, or I should not get an error telling me to install it.

Actual Behaviour

See above

Any resolutions? Unable to install nodejs 12 dependencies, keeps asking to install nodejs 12 but I already have, have updated asdf and have re-shimmed.

[bartlebee13]

seeing the same issue with golang. I installed golang 1.21.6 with asdf. I can set it and see version 1.21.6 in my .tool-versions

I've updated asdf, reshimmed, and tried the solution outlined in this comment but its still broken.

[ryne-sunrun]

Update - I use IntelliJ and found in their forum that I needed to change my node interpreter, which is working. I still cannot use npm from command line

[Piioo]

seen same problem on mac with ruby

asdf version 0.14.0

[pesterhazy]

I've seen this as well with command installed via npm install -g

[aep-sunlife]

Normally, I use asdf reshim to fix problems where ASDF forgets that it needs to update shims. However, running asdf reshim for Go executables (e.g. go install ./...) appears to break things.

$ cat .tool-versions
golang 1.23.2

$ hello-world
No preset version installed for command hello-world
Please install a version by running one of the following:

asdf install golang 1.23.2

or add one of the following versions in your config file at /Users/lo40/go/src/bitbucket.us.sunlife/SecOps/hello-world-go/.tool-versions
golang 1.22.2

I don't know why asdf reshim is creating malformed shims, but I plan to refrain from using this command for awhile.

I came here because I have the same issue with cowsay. Not sure why a asdf is creating a shim for cowsay though.

UPDATE: Looks like I have older versions of ruby that had the cowsay gem and executable installed (instead of the Homebrew package). I manually removed the gem from each version listed in the error output and reshimed. That fixed for me.

I was getting a similar error with python

λ activate-global-python-argcomplete
No preset version installed for command activate-global-python-argcomplete
Please install a version by running one of the following:

asdf install python 3.11.11

Initially tried uninstalling via python -m pip uninstall argcomplete, but it must have been installed in one of ~7 python runtimes.

Following @btoone's advice, went ahead and just uninstalled all the runtimes but my current one (python 3.11.11). That appeared to fix the issue.

No amount of reshimming or upgrading the asdf bin worked fwiw
