# material-shader-missing

> Talos 0.7 · Since 0.6

A `*.material.json` `shader` names no file the project holds, or its reference is empty, absolute, names a drive or climbs out with `..` (the same path rule as a texture). A header error in the file it names is reported under that error's own code.
