Debugging a failure
Read a failed run's page from top to bottom, and know what each error code asks you to look at.
Every failed run keeps a flight record. Start from its failure page: the error, the steps, the screen, and what happened behind it, in one place.
Open the failure page
npx @danwo/cli show --format mdIt prints one page per failed test or matrix trial of the newest run. Pass a run id for an older one.
Read it top to bottom
The top: what failed, and where
The test, the fault if a matrix trial, the error code, and the line the failure went through:
fault: duplicate on webhook checkout.session.completed · failed · EXPECTATION_FAILED (test) · 2.7 s
**Error at tests/buy-credits.danwo.ts:19:**
invariant: expected 1000 to be 500 // Object.is equalityThe steps
Each step with its status, its cache outcome, model calls, time and line:
| 4 | getByRole("heading", name: "Thank you for your purchase") toBeVisible() | passed | … | tests/buy-credits.danwo.ts:15 |
| 5 | getByText(/^Credits: /) toHaveText("Credits: 500") | failed: EXPECTATION_FAILED | … | tests/buy-credits.danwo.ts:16 |The screen at failure
What the page showed, as an accessibility tree:
- main:
- heading "Thank you for your purchase" [level=1]
- paragraph: "Credits: 1000"What was behind the page
Console errors, failed or faulted provider calls, webhook deliveries, and each emulator's state at the end. Here, the same webhook arrived twice and the app answered both:
| topic | attempt | status | fault |
| checkout.session.completed | 1 | 200 | duplicate |
| checkout.session.completed | 1 | 200 | |That's the bug: the app credited the account once per delivery.
What the error code says to check
| Code | Look at |
|---|---|
LOCATOR_NOT_FOUND, LOCATOR_AMBIGUOUS | the screen at failure, and the nearest candidates it lists |
EXPECTATION_FAILED | expected against received: is the app wrong, or the test? |
CLAIM_FAILED | the judge's reason. The claim may be too strict. |
APP_ERROR | your app's own 5xx or uncaught error: an app bug |
PROVIDER_ERROR | the failed provider call, and whether your app recovered |
STALE_RECORDING, NOTHING_RECORDED | run danwo test once to record, then the matrix |
AGENT_LOOPING, BUDGET_EXCEEDED | a vague instruction or a changed page. Split the step, or use locators. |
MODEL_OUTPUT_INVALID, MODEL_UNAVAILABLE | the model provider, not your app. Retry, or change model. |
MODEL_REFUSED | the model declined the step. Reword it, or run it on another model. |
BROWSER_FAILED, ENVIRONMENT_FAILED | the browser or the environment: app start-up, emulators, ports |
CONFIG_INVALID | the config, or the call the message names |
PACKAGE_MISSING | a danwo package the command needs. Run the install the message names. |
danwo spec --topic errors lists every code with its exit code.
When a run fails before any test starts, npx @danwo/cli doctor checks the machine and the
config. For a mobile config it checks the simulator or emulator toolchain too, and Flutter for a
Flutter app.
Connection noise
A browser dropping a socket as a page closes (ECONNRESET, EPIPE, socket hang up) is expected,
so danwo doesn't print it. To see those lines while chasing a connection problem:
DANWO_DEBUG=proxy npx @danwo/cli testEvery other proxy error always prints.
HTTP/2 and gRPC calls
The proxy speaks HTTP/2 to a client that offers only HTTP/2, such as a gRPC client. Everyone else, browsers included, gets HTTP/1.1. Each HTTP/2 call is its own entry in the flight record, with its path, status and the fault it got.
| The client says | What it means |
|---|---|
UNAVAILABLE, and the record shows a 502 | the proxy couldn't reach the real server; the 502's body says why |
INTERNAL: Received RST_STREAM with code 2 | a reset fault hit this call, or the server reset it |
certificate signed by unknown authority | the client doesn't trust danwo's CA; see other languages |
no application protocol in the TLS handshake | the client offered neither HTTP/1.1 nor HTTP/2 |
