Issues

Unstructured returns one of the following error types:
  • NotFoundException: For example, an error retrieving intermediate file data from internal storage, with a pattern such as /f8c6.../element_dicts/...json.
  • FileNotFoundError: For example, an error with internal system paths that use a pattern such as /home/etl/node/staged/... or /home/etl/node/downloads/....
  • ValueError: For example, a Failed to decrypt secret error.
  • AttributeError: For example, a 'TimeoutError' object has no attribute 'status_code' error.
  • asyncio.exceptions.CancelledError

Possible causes

  • There is an error in a previous workflow or ingestion pipeline stage within Unstructured’s environment that is preventing intermediate files from being created correctly.
  • There are file system or storage issues within Unstructured’s environment.
  • There are problems with Unstructured’s internal management of secret keys or configurations.
  • There are issues with Unstructured’s internal error handling or service lifecycle management.
  • There are some other general issues with Unstructured’s internal workings, often related to managing temporary files or internal state.

Possible solutions

  • Retry the job: Retry the entire job, as the issue might have been temporary.
  • Contact Unstructured Support: These issues are generally fixable only by Unstructured. These issues typically indicate internal issues that customers cannot fix themselves. Be sure when you contact Unstructured Support to include the full error message, timestamp, and job details.
