Asdf assuming that ruby version is installed while it's not

I am getting this output after changing the ruby version directly on .tool-versions to 3.2.8 and attempting to install it:

❯ cat .tool-versions | grep ruby
ruby 3.2.8

This was fixed by fully removing and installing the plugin.

I may have just run into the same thing. The issue was that the directory for the Ruby version was there, but it was empty. Removing the directory and running asdf install fixed it

This is on an M series Mac with asdf version 0.16.4, going from Ruby 3.4.2 to 3.4.3 in .tool-versions
