The compiler team's explanation

Items are missing in a trait implementation.

Erroneous code example:

trait Foo {
    fn foo();
}

struct Bar;

impl Foo for Bar {}
// error: not all trait items implemented, missing: `foo`

When trying to make some type implement a trait Foo, you must, at minimum, provide implementations for all of Foo's required methods (meaning the methods that do not have default implementations), as well as any required trait items like associated types or constants. Example:

trait Foo {
    fn foo();
}

struct Bar;

impl Foo for Bar {
    fn foo() {} // ok!
}
