When I try to run a workflow using Cylc 8.2.4., I get an error on the first job “fcm\_make\_um” as follows

> ‘[FAIL] fcm\_make\_um (key=fcm\_make\_um): task has no associated application.’

The same workflow has been fine in the past under the exact same configuration, so I am at a loss for what might be causing this. My local support people haven’t been able to resolve the issue so thought I’d ask here.

I’d expect this error to indicate the removal of

```bash
~/cylc-source/workflow/app/fcm_make_um

```

Can you double check that is still there?

The folder is still there, i.e. ‘u-df864/app/fcm\_make\_um’ where u-df864 is the name of my workflow. I have reinstalled my workflow, and it seems to be working now. Thanks for the help.
