Anima Common Errors

Error Reference

Authentication Errors

Error	Root Cause	Fix
`Invalid Anima token`	Token not provisioned or expired	Request new token from Anima team
`Invalid Figma token`	PAT expired or revoked	Generate new PAT: Figma > Settings > Access Tokens
`Unauthorized`	Token lacks file access	Ensure Figma PAT has file read permission

File & Node Errors

Error	Root Cause	Fix
`File not found`	Wrong file key	Extract from Figma URL: `figma.com/file/{KEY}/...`
`Node not found`	Invalid node ID	Copy node link from Figma: right-click > Copy link
`No renderable content`	Selected a page or group	Select a frame, component, or component set
Empty `files` array	Node is empty or hidden	Unhide layers; ensure node has visible content

Code Generation Errors

// Common generation error handler
async function safeGenerate(anima: Anima, params: any) {
  try {
    return await anima.generateCode(params);
  } catch (err: any) {
    if (err.message?.includes('rate limit')) {
      console.error('Rate limited — wait 60s before retrying');
    } else if (err.message?.includes('timeout')) {
      console.error('Generation timed out — simplify the Figma node');
    } else if (err.message?.includes('Invalid settings')) {
      console.error('Invalid settings combo — check framework/styling/uiLibrary compatibility');
    } else {
      console.error('Generation error:', err.message);
    }
    return null;
  }
}

Output Quality Issues

Symptom	Cause	Fix
Messy layout	No auto-layout in Figma	Convert frames to auto-layout
Wrong colors	Hardcoded hex instead of Figma variables	Use Figma color variables/styles
Missing text	Text is inside masked groups	Flatten masks before generating
Extra wrappers	Deeply nested groups	Flatten group hierarchy
Wrong component names	Unnamed Figma layers	Name layers descriptively
