Error lookup

Find an error from a failed run by its code or its sentence, and read what causes it and what to do next on its errors page.

Every code a run can fail with has a line on its errors page, under the app or service that raised it.

What you can paste

The code is under Show details in a failed step's Output, often followed by a colon and the details of that one run, and in the failed run's row on Runs. The sentence leads the Output.

Part of the sentencecould not be evaluatedThe line of the code whose sentence holds it, or a list when several do

How it behaves

  • A code works alone in capitals or lower case; inside a longer line, in capitals, as the run shows it.
  • A sentence works whole or in part, with or without its full stop. A part needs at least 16 characters.
  • One match opens; several give a list to pick from; with none, the lookup says so and links the errors pages.
  • What you paste stays in your browser: the lookup sends it nowhere.

Common mistakes

  • Pasting only what comes after the code. That part holds one run's details and changes from run to run. Paste the code, or the sentence.
  • Copying part of a code. INVALID_ADDRESS matches nothing; SES_INVALID_ADDRESS does.
  • Looking up an HTTP_ code. It is the status the system your flow called answered, such as HTTP_404: look it up in that system's documentation.
