# X_STEP_NOT_RESOLVABLE

## Means

the step is not an unknown once outcome an operator can resolve

## Typical cause

x jobs resolve-step named a job that is running, or a step with no started or failed record (it never ran, or it completed)

## Fix

`x jobs show <id> --json   # read the steps; wait for a running job to settle, then resolve a step whose status is started or failed`
