project not found

Error message

project %q not found

What it means

runJob executes a cron job in the background; when the job's project has no registered engine it logs the failure and records it via store.MarkRun with the message 'project %q not found', then returns without running the prompt. Unlike RunJobNow's synchronous check, this path handles projects disappearing between trigger and execution (scheduled runs, races).

Solutions

1. Restore the project in config.toml and restart/reload the daemon
2. Update or delete the stale cron job referencing the missing project
3. Check store MarkRun records / logs for 'cron: project not found' to identify affected job ids

Example fix

// before
// jobs referencing project "oldname" keep failing after rename to "newname"
// after
cs.UpdateJob(jobID, "project", "newname") // or re-add [projects.oldname]

When it happens

Trigger: A scheduled fire for a job whose project engine was removed (config reload, project renamed/deleted) after the job was scheduled; also RunJobNow passing its own re-check if the engine disappears concurrently.

Common situations: Daemon config.toml edited to remove/rename a project while cron jobs referencing it remain persisted; hot-reload drops an engine while timers keep firing.

Understand the failure class

Background: 'Could not be found', 'does not exist', 'not found in database': the resource-not-found family when an ID, slug, key, or URI lookup comes back empty — this error's family across 20 libraries.
