# Troubleshooting

### My process just exits and/or my pipeline doesn't run![<svg aria-hidden="true" class="octicon octicon-link" height="16" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 16 16" width="16"></svg>](https://gist.github.com/joepie91/f4f9a56d37a5935833c242defd4f732c#my-process-just-exits-andor-my-pipeline-doesnt-run)

You most likely forgot to call `.read()` on the pipeline. This is easy to forget. I still do it regularly!

### I get a weird error![<svg aria-hidden="true" class="octicon octicon-link" height="16" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 16 16" width="16"></svg>](https://gist.github.com/joepie91/f4f9a56d37a5935833c242defd4f732c#i-get-a-weird-error)

All `@promistream` libraries are meant to produce clear and understandable errors. If they do not, that is a bug. Please report it!

(Currently this is most likely to happen because of a library not being updated for a newer revision of the specification; I'll help figure out what's going on if you report it.)

### How do I...?[<svg aria-hidden="true" class="octicon octicon-link" height="16" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 16 16" width="16"></svg>](https://gist.github.com/joepie91/f4f9a56d37a5935833c242defd4f732c#how-do-i)

Is there an [off-the-shelf package](https://www.npmjs.com/~promistream) for it? Give that a shot first. If there isn't, or it doesn't work as you expect, please let me know and I'll help you figure it out!
