Warning Messages
What Cordelia's orange console lines mean, and why it keeps going anyway.
The messages below are taken directly from Cordelia's source code, the
same way the full field reference is, and are
current as of the version available on the Installing (or
Removing) Cordelia page. In the app itself, these now appear in whichever language
Cordelia's interface is set to. See The Console Panel for
the one exception (a few crash messages that stay in English on purpose). They're shown here
in English to match this page.
Why Cordelia warns instead of stopping
Cordelia's main job is reading large batches of your own .FIT files into a
database that's cheap to regenerate. Because of that, it generally prefers finishing the job
over stopping at the first sign of trouble. A problem with one file, or one table, gets
logged as a warning and the rest of the operation continues. See
Error Messages for the smaller set of problems serious
enough that Cordelia stops instead.
In the console panel, warning lines appear in orange so they're easy to spot without derailing a run that's otherwise working fine.
Import warnings
| Message | When you'll see it | What it means |
|---|---|---|
Not a valid FIT file: <file> |
Importing files or a folder | The file doesn't look like a .FIT file at all. It's skipped
entirely, and the rest of the batch continues. |
Import failed for <file>: <detail> |
Importing files or a folder | That specific file failed to import for the stated reason. The rest of the batch continues. |
<N> of <M> files imported, <K> failed — see console |
End of an import | Summary line for a batch where at least one file failed. Scroll up in the console to see which files and why. |
Export warnings
| Message | When you'll see it | What it means |
|---|---|---|
Skipped table "<name>": schema does not match the expected record
type (<type>). |
Exporting to XLSX, JSON, or CSV | A table in the database doesn't match what Cordelia expects for a table with that name. It's left out of this export, but the data stays in your database untouched. |
Unexpected table "<name>" found and ignored. |
Exporting to XLSX, JSON, or CSV | The database contains a table Cordelia doesn't recognize, for example one added by another tool. It's ignored rather than exported. |
<Format> export completed with <N> warning(s) — see console |
End of an export | The export finished, but one or more tables along the way had a problem worth reviewing. Scroll up in the console for specifics. |
Database status warnings
| Message | When you'll see it | What it means |
|---|---|---|
<table>: unable to count rows |
Checking database status | The row count for one specific table couldn't be read. Every other table's count is still reported normally. |
