Every Element Labs product prints its messages in the same shape. This page lists the ones that are the same for every product. Messages specific to one product are on its own **Troubleshooting** pages. ## Reading a line ```text theme={null} [WARN ] [ Config] Config file for "menu" missing or invalid. ``` | Part | Meaning | | - | - | | `[WARN ]` | The level: `INFO` something happened, `WARN` something may need your attention, `ERROR` something failed, `DEBUG` detail shown only when you turn it on. | | `[ Config]` | The channel: which part of the shared behaviour wrote it. Padded to line up. | | The rest | The message. In the tables below, `<…>` stands for a value that changes. | Messages from the server appear in the server console. Messages from a player's game appear in that player's own console, opened with `F8`. When several lines appear together, act on the **first** one. The lines after it are usually consequences. ## Start-up and versions | Message | Cause | Fix | | - | - | - | | `[Dependencies] '' v does not satisfy required version .` | `element_sdk` is outside the versions the product accepts. The product stops. | Install an `element_sdk` inside the range. [Versions and releases](https://docs.elementlabs.net/compatibility/versions.md) | | `[Dependencies] Dependency '' is not started (state '', requires ).` | `element_sdk` is installed but not running. The product stops. | Find why `element_sdk` failed, higher in the console, or start it. | | `[Dependencies] Missing dependency '' (requires ).` | The server does not know `element_sdk`. The product stops. | [Install a product](https://docs.elementlabs.net/get-started/install.md) | | `[Dependencies] Declared requirement '' for '' is not a readable version constraint.` | The product's `fxmanifest.lua` was edited or copied incompletely. The product stops. | Reinstall the product from the release. | | `[Dependencies] Cannot determine version of '' (requires ).` | A warning. The `version` line of `element_sdk` cannot be read, usually an incomplete copy. The product keeps starting. | Reinstall `element_sdk`. | | `[Sdk] Resource dependencies are not satisfied for ''.` | Follows one of the lines above, naming the product that stops. | Fix the line above it. | ## Resources the product uses | Message | Cause | Fix | | - | - | - | | `No supported adapter detected. Checked: []` | The product needs a framework, inventory, database, menu, text input or targeting resource, and none of those listed is running. | Install one and start it before the product. [Supported resources](https://docs.elementlabs.net/compatibility/supported-resources.md) | | `'' is unavailable for the rest of this session; …` | Follows the line above in a player's console, for menus, text input and targeting. The product keeps running without it. | The same fix. | | `Resource "" declares "" but does not export "elementAdapter".` | A resource on your server declares itself as a provider but is missing its export. | [Use your own framework or resources](https://docs.elementlabs.net/scripting/custom-provider.md) | | `Resource "" returned nothing from "elementAdapter" for "".` | That resource's export returns nothing for the capability it declares. | [Use your own framework or resources](https://docs.elementlabs.net/scripting/custom-provider.md) | | `The declared adapter in "" is missing: []. A declared adapter must implement the whole contract.` | That resource does not provide every function the capability needs. | [Use your own framework or resources](https://docs.elementlabs.net/scripting/custom-provider.md) | | `Attempted to set invalid job with grade for player ` | A product tried to give a player a job or grade your framework does not have. | Check the job names in the product's settings against your framework's jobs. | | `es_extended rejected metadata "": . ESX only stores numbers, strings and tables.` | A product tried to store a value ESX cannot hold. | [Report it](https://docs.elementlabs.net/troubleshooting/get-help.md). | | `[] : metadata is ignored since …` | Your inventory cannot do part of what the product asked, such as matching an item's metadata. The product continues without it. | Nothing, unless the product misbehaves around items with metadata. If it does, [tell us](https://docs.elementlabs.net/troubleshooting/get-help.md) which inventory you run. | | `Transaction failed:` followed by the database's own error | A database write failed. | Read the database error after it: usually a connection problem or a missing table. | ## Configuration and language files | Message | Cause | Fix | | - | - | - | | `[Config] Config file for "" missing or invalid.` | The file is missing or has a syntax error. Every setting in it uses its shipped value. | Fix the syntax. [A setting has no effect](https://docs.elementlabs.net/troubleshooting/setting-has-no-effect.md) | | `[Config] Config file for "" declares namespace ""; the filename decides the namespace.` | The `namespace` field was edited, or the file renamed. The file is still read by its name. | Put the field back to match the filename. | | `[Config] Config file for "" declares scope "" but the release owns it as ""; the scope cannot be changed by editing the file.` | The `scope` field was edited. It changes nothing. | Put `scope` back as shipped. | | `[Config] [] migrated config v → v.` | Information. A file from an older release was converted to the new layout when the product started. The file on disk is unchanged. | Nothing. | | `[Config] [] missing migration step from v → v; falling back to defaults.` | A file from an older release could not be converted. Every setting in it uses its shipped value. | Redo your changes on the file the new release shipped. | | `[Config] [] migration step v → v threw; falling back to defaults.` | The conversion failed. Every setting in it uses its shipped value. | Redo your changes on the new file, and [report it](https://docs.elementlabs.net/troubleshooting/get-help.md). | | `[Config] [] config file from newer version ( > ); some keys may be ignored.` | The file comes from a newer release than the product. It is used as it is, and settings this release does not know are ignored. | Use the file that belongs to this release, or update the product. | | `[Config] Migrations declared for "", which this scope does not load; they will not run.` | A fault in the product. | [Report it](https://docs.elementlabs.net/troubleshooting/get-help.md). | | `[Locales] Locale file for "" is missing or invalid.` | The language file is missing or has a syntax error. Its text comes from the fallback language. | [Text is wrong or missing](https://docs.elementlabs.net/troubleshooting/text-is-wrong.md) | | `[Locales] extra "" in configs/locales.jsonc ignored: ` | A language in `extra` cannot be offered. The reason says which: it is one of the game's own languages, its key is not a file name, its name is empty, or `locales/.json` is missing, invalid or not listed in `fxmanifest.lua`. The other languages still apply. | Correct the entry. [Languages](https://docs.elementlabs.net/configure/languages.md#choose-the-language-players-start-in-and-add-the-servers-own) | | `[Locales] default "" in configs/locales.jsonc ignored: this resource has no such language, so players start in their game language.` | `default` names a language the product neither ships nor has in `extra`. | Set `default` to a shipped language, to one in `extra`, or to `"game"`. | | `[Locales] setLocale("") ignored: this resource has no such language.` | A script asked a product that follows each player's game to switch to a language it does not have. | Add the language to `extra`, or have the script use one the product has. | | `[Locales] followGame() ignored: there is no game language to follow here.` | A script asked a product that uses one language for the server to follow the player's game. | Nothing to fix on the server. Such a product always uses `active`. | | `[Locales] setLocale("") ignored: no player to choose for on the server.` | A server script asked a product that follows each player's game to switch language. The choice is each player's, made on their own client. | Nothing to fix on the server. | ## Version check | Message | Cause | Fix | | - | - | - | | `[VersionCheck] is outdated: v installed, v available.` | A newer release exists. Information only. | [Update a product](https://docs.elementlabs.net/get-started/update.md) when you choose. | | `[VersionCheck] Release catalog request failed with status .` | The list of releases could not be reached. `0` usually means a firewall blocked the request. Nothing else is affected. | Allow `telemetry.elementlabs.net`, or set `el:versionCheck` to `"false"`. [Server settings](https://docs.elementlabs.net/configure/server-settings.md) | | `[VersionCheck] Release catalog response is invalid.` | The list was reached but could not be read. Nothing else is affected. | Nothing. It is tried again at the next start. | ## Key bindings | Message | Cause | Fix | | - | - | - | | `[Keybinds] "" is already registered, returning existing binding.` | In a player's console. Two key bindings share a name, usually because the product restarted while the player was connected. The first one keeps working. | Nothing, if the key works. If it triggers the wrong action, two resources chose the same name. | | `[Keybinds] Skipped "", keybinds are unsupported on RedM.` | The product was started on RedM. | Products are built for FiveM only. | ## Script errors A `SCRIPT ERROR` with `?` where the file and line would be comes from inside a product. See [Script errors without a file or line](https://docs.elementlabs.net/troubleshooting/script-errors.md).
