Use this page as a fast incident checklist when CloudEval actions fail or return incomplete results.
Why it matters
Most failures are recoverable if you identify the layer first: auth, project data, or plan entitlement.
Quick example
cloudeval ask "Summarize current project health" --project <project_id>
Expected output:
A valid response confirms auth, project scope, and service availability.
Step-by-step instructions
1. Check authentication
- Web: confirm active session.
- CLI: run
cloudeval login again.
- Validate template JSON format.
- Start with a reduced template if parsing fails.
- Confirm expected files exist in project file tree.
3. Check billing and credits
If credits are exhausted, regeneration and compute-heavy actions can be blocked.
4. Re-run on a known-good project
Use a small baseline project to isolate whether issues are data-specific.
Code examples
cloudeval ask "List recent report issues" --project <project_id> --json
cloudeval ask "List files in this project and highlight missing dependencies" --project <project_id>
Expected output
- You receive valid responses from project-scoped commands.
- Entitlement-related failures are clearly visible.
- Re-runs on baseline projects help isolate the root cause.
Common mistakes
- Relying on outdated docs snippets.
- Treating limited features as fully available.
- Debugging report output before validating project ingestion.
Tips / best practices
- Keep one “known-good” project for regression checks.
- Re-run failed workflows with smaller template slices.
- Track changes in plan entitlement when debugging blocked actions.
