AI Workbench Error Codes Reference#

This document provides a reference for the error codes that may occur when using the AI Workbench Desktop App and CLI.

Overview#

AI Workbench recently implemented error codes to help users resolve issues when they arise.

Not all errors have codes, and not all errors with codes can be resolved.

The error message provides a description of the problem and potential resolution steps when available.

Error codes indicate where and when a failure occurred in the application. They may not identify the root cause or provided specific resolution steps.

All errors in the Desktop App will show a system log, which is not the error message.

Some system logs are very obscure, but others have clear and actionable information in them.

Analyzing the system log with an LLM may help identify the issue, though results vary.

When you get an error code, come to this page and find the relevant information.

Error codes in the Desktop App should link to the appropriate section in this page. However, you can also just come to the page and use CTRL + F to find the code.

Key Concepts#

Error Message:

The actual text you will see in the application corresponding to the error code.

OS/Location:

Identification of which operating system or location type (local/remote) that will show the code.

Explanation:

Extra information not in the error message that provides context and potential troubleshooting information for the error.
