# X_SCRAPE_FIXTURE_STALE

## Means

the recording is older than the fixture max age

## Typical cause

**terminal.** A test passing against a year-old copy of a page proves the test still parses the copy, not the site. A `recordedAt` that is not a date is stale too: its age cannot be shown to be inside `maxAge`

## Fix

re-record the fixture directory, or raise `maxAge` on `fixtureBrowser({ maxAge })` with the reason an old recording still proves something
