SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires kailash.

What problem does it solve?

Encountering errors during development can be frustrating and time-consuming. This Skill provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common Kailash SDK errors, helping you quickly identify, understand, and resolve issues like missing .build() calls, incorrect connections, or runtime failures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Common Error Solutions: Step-by-step fixes for frequent issues like missing .build(), incorrect connection parameters, and cycle convergence problems.
  • Framework-Specific Debugging: Guidance for DataFlow template syntax errors, Nexus blocking issues, and parameter validation failures.
  • Use Case: Your workflow is hanging, or you're getting an unexpected error message. Use this Skill to quickly diagnose if it's a missing .build() call, a misconfigured connection, or a parameter validation issue, saving you hours of debugging.

Quick Start

Common Error: Missing .build()

❌ WRONG:

results, run_id = runtime.execute(workflow)

✅ CORRECT:

results, run_id = runtime.execute(workflow.build())

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix a missing .build() call in my Kailash workflow?

Missing .build() calls cause runtime execution failures in Kailash workflows. Always invoke .build() on your workflow object before passing it to runtime.execute(). This compiles and validates the workflow structure, ensuring all components and connections are properly initialized before execution.

What causes Nexus blocking errors and how do I resolve them?

Nexus blocking occurs when component dependencies create deadlocks or when connections aren't properly configured. Verify connection parameters between components, ensure all required parameters are validated, and check that DataFlow templates have correct syntax. Review your workflow graph for circular dependencies or missing data paths.

How do I debug parameter validation errors in Kailash SDK?

Parameter validation errors arise from mismatched or missing input values to workflow components. Check that all required parameters are supplied with correct types, verify connection parameters match component specifications, and consult the Kailash documentation for component-specific requirements. Use the error message to identify which parameter failed validation.

Why is my DataFlow workflow hanging or failing at runtime?

Runtime failures in DataFlow workflows typically stem from missing .build() calls, incorrect connection parameters, cycle convergence issues, or syntax errors in templates. Diagnose by checking template syntax, validating all connections between components, ensuring cycle convergence logic is correct, and confirming parameters are properly initialized before execution.

Can I use Kailash SDK across Nexus and DataFlow components in a single workflow?

Yes, Kailash SDK supports cross-component integrations between Nexus and DataFlow within unified workflows. Ensure all inter-component connections are correctly configured, parameter types align across framework boundaries, and the entire workflow is built before execution to validate the integration.

What should I check first when troubleshooting unexpected Kailash errors?

Start by verifying your workflow calls .build() before runtime.execute(), check all connection parameters are correctly specified, validate that required parameters are supplied, and review DataFlow template syntax for errors. These account for the majority of SDK errors and are quickest to resolve.
