"No workplans were created!"
---
name: General Issue (FA)
---
**System information**
- OS Platform and Distribution: HAL, noeuds 2022
- Maja installed from (source or binary): Binary
- Maja version (use command below): 4.7.1
- Python version (From binpkg or custom):
- Complementary info (i.e. GCC/Compiler version)
**Describe the current behavior**
When MAJA finds no product to process because all L2A products already exist, it Throws an error, while an exit with a clear message would have been welcome, explaining that all the L2A exist and there is nothing to do :
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/work/CESBIO/projects/Maja/MAJA-4.7.1/lib/python/StartMaja/Start_maja.py", line 1030, in <module>
s.run()
File "/work/CESBIO/projects/Maja/MAJA-4.7.1/lib/python/StartMaja/Start_maja.py", line 831, in run
workplans = self.create_workplans(self.max_product_difference)
File "/work/CESBIO/projects/Maja/MAJA-4.7.1/lib/python/StartMaja/Start_maja.py", line 741, in create_workplans
raise ValueError("No workplans were created!")
ValueError: No workplans were created!
```
Moreover, the directory where the L2A products had been moved !
in folders.txt : I had repL2 = /work/CESBIO/projects/Maja/L2A_MAJA_120
I had moved the products in a subdirectory to save them : /work/CESBIO/projects/Maja/L2A_MAJA_120/L2A_MAJA_120_Shadvar30, but MAJA still found them.
**Describe the expected behavior**
MAJA should not try to find data outside the specified directory in the file folders.txt, and it should provide a clearer message, explaining why "no workplans were created".
**Urgency/Criticity**
- Urgency Low
- Criticity Low
**Code to reproduce the issue**
Run MAJA with a few L1C products (8 if backward parameter is 8).
Move the result in a subdirectory, and MAJA will find it and issue the message above.
**Correction**
(Optional) Provide a version number (Major.Minor.Patch, e.g. 3.2.1) when the correction shall be introduced.
