> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://tracer.gitbook.io/manual/llms.txt). Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://tracer.gitbook.io/manual/support/troubleshooting.md). # Troubleshooting This section contains a list of encountered errors with solutions. Should your TRACER error not be in this list, please report it [here](http://www.etrap.eu/redmine/projects/tracer). As [previously mentioned](/manual/manual/execution-of-tracer.md), the `.out` file produced by TRACER when executed documents the detection process. Should a detection task fail, the `.out` file will show users where the process stopped allowing them to more easily locate the source of the error. Users familiar with Java may wish to consult TRACER's Javadoc to help locate errors. To do so, navigate to your TRACER folder in the terminal and type `ant javadoc`. Open the generated `index.html` file in a browser to see all TRACER classes and packages. **This *****Troubleshooting***** section lists errors encountered by users and their respective solutions**. ## General recommendation Should none of the solutions in this page work for you or if you can't figure out what the error might be, the general recommendation is to always delete any existing `TRACER_DATA` folder (which stores the results of previous analyses) before running new analyses. Why? Because it *could be* that existing computed files are creating conflicts with the settings you changed for a new analysis. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://tracer.gitbook.io/manual/support/troubleshooting.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
