<h1>Errors</h1>

<p>mountebank is sorry you are running into errors.  To help you diagnose
the problem, he has listed the API error codes below.  Feel free to
<a href='/support'>ask for help</a> if you get stuck.</p>

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Error code</th>
    <th>Description</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><code>bad data</code></td>
    <td>A general validation error.  Something in the input is invalid.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><code>invalid injection</code></td>
    <td>You are using the <code>inject</code> operator, either as a predicate
    or response type.  Perhaps you have not run <code>mb</code> with the
    <code>--allowInjection</code> flag, or perhaps there is an error in the
    JavaScript you are injecting.  Consider using the node.js
    <code>console</code> or mountebank <code>logger</code> objects to help
    debug the problem.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><code>resource conflict</code></td>
    <td>You have specified a port already in use by another application.
    Try killing the other application, or use a different port for the
    imposter.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><code>insufficient access</code></td>
    <td>You have requested an imposter port that the user running
    <code>mb</code> is not authorized to provide.  Either request a
    different port, or run <code>mb</code> as <code>sudo</code>.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><code>invalid proxy</code></td>
    <td>You have configured a proxy response type with an invalid address,
    or the server has refused the connection.  Double check the DNS name or
    IP address, and double check the port.  If <code>mb</code> is running
    on a different network than you are, does he have the same connectivity
    to the proxy that you do?</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><code>no such resource</code></td>
    <td>A 404 error code.  Probably, you are attempting to access an
    imposter that has not been created yet.  Try POSTing to /imposters
    first?</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><code>invalid JSON</code></td>
    <td>You have sent a request body, but mountebank is unable to parse it.</td>
  </tr>
