Automation Error Index

A structured, machine-readable catalogue of real error messages across automation and AI-coding tools — n8n, Make, Zapier, Power Automate, UiPath, Cursor, Claude Code, and agent frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenAI Agents SDK) — each with a one-line cause, a concise fix, and a link to its source.

Maintained by AutomateLab. Browse it as an interactive table at https://automatelab.tech/products/datasets/automation-error-index/.

Provenance (read before relying on a fix)

Entries come in two tiers, flagged by the source field:

• guide — maps to a full AutomateLab troubleshooting walkthrough we wrote and tested (fix_url links the guide).
• mined — sourced from public issue trackers, official docs, and community forums, drafted into a concise fix, and pending maintainer review. Each carries a source_url so you can verify the fix against its origin. Treat these as leads, not gospel, until reviewed.

The split (guide vs community) and live count are reflected in errors.json.

Files

• errors.json — canonical dataset: { name, license, source, count, platforms, categories, errors[] }.
• dataset.csv — flat CSV mirror for spreadsheets.
