+# Troubleshooting
+
+In this section you will find ways to troubleshoot when you have problems executing CWL.
+We focus on `cwltool` here but some of these techniques may apply to other CWL Runners.
+
+## Run `cwltool` with `cachedir`
+
+You can use the `--cachedir` option when running a workflow to tell `cwltool` to
+cache intermediate files (files that are not input nor output files, but created
+while your workflow is running). By default, these files are created in a
+temporary directory but writing them to a separate directory makes accessing
+them easier.
+
+In the following example `troubleshooting-wf1.cwl` we have two steps, `step_a` and `step_b`.
+The workflow is equivalent to `echo "Hello World" | rev`, which would print the message
+"Hello World" reversed, i.e. "dlroW olleH". However, the second step, `step_b`, **has a typo**,
+where instead of executing the `rev` command it tries to execute `revv`, which
+fails.
+
+```{literalinclude} /_includes/cwl/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-wf1.cwl
+:language: cwl
+:name: "`troubleshooting-wf1.cwl`"
+:caption: "`troubleshooting-wf1.cwl`"
+:emphasize-lines: 42
+```
+
+Let's execute this workflow with `/tmp/cachedir/` as the `--cachedir` value (`cwltool` will
+create the directory for you if it does not exist already):
+
+```{runcmd} cwltool --cachedir /tmp/cachedir/ troubleshooting-wf1.cwl
+:working-directory: src/_includes/cwl/troubleshooting
+:emphasize-lines: 12-14, 19-21
+```
+
+The workflow is in the `permanentFail` status due to `step_b` failing to execute the
+non-existent `revv` command. The `step_a` was executed successfully and its output
+has been cached in your `cachedir` location. You can inspect the intermediate files
+created:
+
+```{runcmd} tree /tmp/cachedir
+:emphasize-lines: 4
+```
+
+Each workflow step has received a unique ID (the long value that looks like a hash).
+The `${HASH}.status` files display the status of each step executed by the workflow.
+And the `step_a` output file `stdout.txt` is visible in the output of the command above.
+
+Now fix the typo so `step_b` executes `rev` (i.e. replace `revv` by `rev` in the
+`step_b`). After fixing the typo, when you execute `cwltool` with the same arguments
+as the previous time, note that now `cwltool` output contains information about
+pre-cached outputs for `step_a`, and about a new cache entry for the output of `step_b`.
+Also note that the status of `step_b` is now of success.
+
+```{runcmd} cwltool --cachedir /tmp/cachedir/ troubleshooting-wf1-stepb-fixed.cwl
+:working-directory: src/_includes/cwl/troubleshooting
+:emphasize-lines: 12, 16-18
+```
+
+In this example the workflow step `step_a` was not re-evaluated as it had been cached, and
+there was no change in its execution or output. Furthermore, `cwltool` was able to recognize
+when it had to re-evaluate `step_b` after we fixed the executable name. This technique is
+useful for troubleshooting your CWL documents and also as a way to prevent `cwltool` to
+re-evaluate steps unnecessarily.
