When working with Abyssale's creative automation platform, you may encounter various generation errors. These errors are designed to help you identify and fix issues with your design, assets, or content before final generation. Understanding these errors and knowing how to resolve them will help you maintain efficient workflows and ensure high-quality output.
Common Error Types and Solutions
Asset Fetch Errors
Error Message: "Image/video/audio cannot be fetched"
Asset fetch errors occur when Abyssale's system cannot access or retrieve the media files needed for your generation. This is often related to accessibility and permissions issues with your source files. In a world of cloud storage and shared resources, ensuring proper access to your assets is crucial for successful generation.
Cause: This typically occurs when:
The file link is not publicly accessible
The link is invalid or incorrect
The resource no longer exists
How to Fix:
Ensure your asset links are publicly accessible
Verify that all URLs are correct and active
If using cloud storage, check sharing permissions
Consider re-uploading the asset if the link is broken
Rating Layer Errors
Error Message: "Layer rating (invalid value: not a number)
Rating layers in Abyssale are designed to display numerical ratings, such as product reviews or satisfaction scores. When these layers receive invalid data, it can prevent proper generation. Understanding the acceptable range and format for rating values is essential for proper functionality.
Cause: The rating value provided is not within the acceptable range.
How to Fix:
Ensure the rating value is a number between 0 and 100
Remove any special characters or text from the rating field
Check for proper numerical formatting
Color Value Errors
Error Message: "color (invalid value: not a color)"
Color values in Abyssale must follow specific formatting rules to ensure consistent and accurate color reproduction across all generated assets. Hexadecimal color codes are used as the standard format, providing precise control over colors while maintaining compatibility across different platforms and devices.
Cause: Incorrect hexadecimal color code format.
How to Fix:
Ensure the hexadecimal color code:
Starts with a '#' symbol
Contains exactly 6 or 8 characters after the '#'
Uses valid hexadecimal values (0-9, A-F)
Example of correct format: #FF0000FF
Invalid Asset Type Errors
Error Message: "video/image/audio (invalid link)"
Each layer type in Abyssale is designed to handle specific types of media. When there's a mismatch between the layer type and the provided asset, generation errors occur. This helps maintain the integrity of your designs and ensures that assets are used appropriately throughout your templates.
Cause: The file type doesn't match the expected format for the layer.
How to Fix:
Verify that the asset matches the layer type (image, video, or audio)
Check file format compatibility
Ensure the file extension matches the actual file type
Try converting the file to a supported format
Text Fitting Errors
Error Message: Element <Layer name> error : The text "sample text" cannot fit within the defined space
Text fitting is a common challenge in dynamic content generation. When text content exceeds its designated space, it can affect the overall design integrity. Abyssale provides several ways to handle varying text lengths while maintaining professional appearance.
Cause: The text content is too long for its container layer.
How to Fix:
1. Reduce text length:
Shorten the content
Break into multiple lines
Use abbreviations where appropriate
2. Adjust container size:
Increase the text layer container size
Modify the layout to accommodate longer text
3. Enable auto-resize:
Turn on the auto-resize option for the text layer
This will automatically adjust text size to fit the container

Best Practices to Avoid Generation Errors
Prevention is often better than cure. By following these best practices, you can minimize the occurrence of generation errors and maintain smooth workflows in your creative automation process.
1. Asset Management:
Use reliable hosting for assets
Verify all links before generation
Keep backup copies of assets
2. Text Content:
Plan for text length variations
Use auto-resize when appropriate
Test with maximum expected content length
3. Color Values:
Use a color picker to ensure correct formats
Keep a reference of brand color codes
Double-check hexadecimal values
4. Regular Testing:
Test designs with various content lengths
Verify all dynamic elements
Check across different formats
