tecNO_ENTRY vs tecOBJECT_NOT_FOUND

  • tec_ENTRY: "cannot find the primary ledger object on which the transaction is being attempted"
  • tec_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND: "cannot find the other object needed to complete the transaction"

Other error codes which need documentation, explanation, and differentiation:

  • temMALFORMED and temINVALID
  • tefINTERNAL vs tecINTERNAL

Note, tec codes are favored because we want to charge the tx sender a fee for the cost they imposed on the network by signing and submitting the tx. Other codes are used when the tx is invalid in a way that prevents a fee from being correctly/accurately assessed.

Under what circumstances would an EscrowCreate transaction fail with a tecNO_PERMISSION code?

What is Path Dry error?

tecPATH_DRY (path dry) means the transaction failed because the provided paths did not have enough liquidity. This could mean that the source and destination accounts are not linked by trust lines. In other words, the customer doesn't have the necessary trust line set up, or your issuer's rippling settings aren't configured correctly.

The path dry error may occur in one of the following scenarios:

  1. When you are trying to send a payment in a currency you presently do not own and there is not enough liquidity on the markets to execute a conversion.
  • Solution: Manually exchange funds to the destination currency.
  1. When the destination address does not have the correct trust line.
  • Solution: Send another currency or enable the correct trust line at the destination address.
