# X_SHOT_ISLAND_STATES_EMPTY

## Means

a `*.island.states.ts` exports no `defineIslandStates` result

## Typical cause

the file was found, imported and read, and it declares no picture — so the run photographs nothing and exits 0, which is the one outcome a reader cannot tell from success

## Fix

in the file the cause names write `export const states = defineIslandStates({ island: '<path>', states: [] })` and give it at least one state
