Routines troubleshooting

Diagnose and fix Delegate routine issues: routines that can't be found, missing inputs, partial failures, and scheduled runs that don't fire.

Routine not found​

Cause 1: It was removed, or you're looking in the wrong place.
Solution 1: Check the Routines section of the sidebar.

Cause 2: It was imported from a file that's no longer available.
Solution 2: Re-import it from the original file.

Missing required input​

Cause 1: A parameter wasn't provided when running it.
Solution 1: Fill in every prompted input.

Cause 2: A scheduled run has no value for a required input.
Solution 2:

  • Set a fixed value for it.
  • Or edit the routine to give it a sensible default.

Routine failed partway through​

Cause 1: An action in the routine couldn't complete.
Solution 1:

  1. Check the error in the tool card.
  2. Confirm any input files still exist and are accessible.

Cause 2: A required connection is no longer active.
Solution 2:

  1. Reconnect it.
  2. Retry.
Tip:

If it's hard to tell where it's failing, run the routine in Guided mode to see exactly where it stops.

Scheduled routine didn't run​

Cause 1: Delegate wasn't running at the scheduled time.
Solution 1: Check the machine wasn't asleep — schedules don't run while asleep.

Cause 2: A connection the routine depends on expired.
Solution 2:

  1. Check its run status and history under Scheduled routines in the sidebar.
  2. Reconnect if needed.
