Errors

internal_error

`disko` hit an unexpected error that has no specific code.


Kind	`disko` command error
`disko` exit code	1 (problems)

Any command reports internal_error when it fails in a way the CLI does not anticipate, for example a file system error while writing --out. It is a bug in disko. The command exits with code 1 and, like every exit code 1, reports it as a problem: problems holds one entry with the code internal_error, and the message starts with unexpected error: followed by the underlying cause.

json

{
  "ok": false,
  "command": "publish",
  "error": "internal_error",
  "message": "unexpected error: …; this is a bug in disko, please report it with the command and this message",
  "docs": "https://docs.disko.ooo/errors/internal_error",
  "problems": [
    {
      "code": "internal_error",
      "message": "unexpected error: …",
      "docs": "https://docs.disko.ooo/errors/internal_error"
    }
  ]
}

With disko dev --json, the same fields arrive in the final stopped event.

Fix

Read the cause in the message; it often names a file or permission problem you can fix directly.
Run the command again. For a publish, a failed attempt never uses up the version.
If the error persists, report it with the command you ran and the output of the same command with --json.
