Moveit2 install missing "release" file

I am following the tutorial for installing Moveit2 under ROS2 Galactic. Everything seems to have worked down to the Build your Colcon Workspace section where I am trying to do the colcon build with the command colcon build --mixin release The error I get is

usage: colcon [-h] [--log-base LOG_BASE] [--log-level LOG_LEVEL]
              {build,extension-points,extensions,graph,info,list,metadata,mixin,test,test-result,version-check}
              ...
colcon: error: Mixin 'release' is not available for 'build'

The file "release" is not to be found. How do I get this missing file?

Is there some way to get this installed correctly?

Asked by Bob H on 2022-01-28 14:03:19 UTC

Refer to this prior answer: https://answers.ros.org/question/367616/colcon-build-cannot-import-name-autocomplete-from-argcomplete/

Asked by osilva on 2022-01-28 15:00:03 UTC

Let me know if it works, then we can document as an answer.

Asked by osilva on 2022-01-28 15:00:25 UTC

I am not using a virtual machine.

The previous answer said uninstall argcomplete. Where do I find it and how do I uninstall it?

Asked by Bob H on 2022-01-28 15:59:50 UTC

Found the uninstall command.

sudo apt-get remove python3-argcomplete

ran it. looked like it uninstalled a lot of ros/galactic also.

reran the colcon install using colcon mixin add default https://raw.githubusercontent.com/colcon/colcon-mixin-repository/master/index.yaml
