# Troubleshooting

- `FATAL: not in a motoko directory (needs motoko.yaml)`: Several CLI commands
  expect to run from inside a workflow directory.
- No runs execute: Confirm `motoko launcher` is running for the relevant task
  managers.
- Selections return old or unexpected runs: Use a distinct `--run_name`. Motoko
  scopes selections by run name when it is set.
- Workflow never finishes: Ensure one action eventually sets
  `workflow.finished = True` or otherwise terminates the workflow deliberately.
- ZEO cache warnings: Stop daemons with `motoko kill`, recreate the workflow
  with `motoko create`, and rerun launchers.
