Troubleshooting#

Is it a component error?#

Sometimes you will encounter bugs and execution errors related to the user-defined component code. In the workspace view, a component with a warning triangle signals a component error. You can view the error message and traceback information in the component Log. To resolve a component error, modify the affected component input file and upload it again. Then restart the Run.

Something else is broken - what can I do?#

Refresh your browser to see if this resolves the problem. Wait a few minutes between refresh attempts, as cloud processes can take some time to complete. This is particularly the case when you are starting a new Run for the first time or clearing your session.

You can force terminate a session (stop a run and delete everything) by selecting the Terminate option from the Interface Controls > ... > Run Management Menu.
