Misleading `generate` error message
What problem or need do you have?
When you run tuist generate, and you haven't fetched the remote content by running tuist fetch, the error is misleading:
`FooBar` is not a valid configured external dependency

Potential solution
A message mentioning the fetch mechanism would point the developer to the right direction.
macOS version
14.0
Tuist version
3.8.0
Xcode version
15.0.0
Hey @bojan 👋
I am absolutely with you – we should suggest next steps for a developer if things go south. Would you like to implement this? 😌
Hey @fortmarek 👋🏿
I would like to try and solve this issue. Do you have any specific requirements to solve this issue, I mean other cases besides tuist fetch error? Or is it enough to close this issue only by showing suggestions to run tuist fetch?
I would appreciate if you have any other recommendations or suggestions about this issue.
Thank you in advance!

Amazing! 💜
Or is it enough to close this issue only by showing suggestions to run tuist fetch?
Yeah, I think that's enough for now – if an external target is not found, we should update the error message to include the suggestion to run tuist fetch. I don't think we want to automatically re-run tuist fetch.
Hello, @fortmarek
I believe this issue is fixed in #5193 linking to issue 5118. This issue probably can be closed by updating tuist to version 3.20.0, as changes been included according to CHANGELOG.md.
This issue still exists on tuist version 4.9.0, but it doesn't happen all the time.
Sometimes, but not always I get the helpful hint to use tuist install.

I will close the issue as not that many users seem to run into this anymore. Feel free to create a new issue if you can provide a reproducer 🙏
