Mule 4 - flows suddently stopped initializing, warning about some mysterious yml file occurs, MUnit test started throwing unexpected errors

I was working on my Mule 4 application today, and suddenly my Anypoint Studio went crazy. When I was trying to run my application, i recieved an error that a port used by the application is already in use. Nothing unusual, but when I have restarted my PC and wanted to run the app again, suspicious information showed up in the console:

INFO 2021-05-25 12:40:21,056 [WrapperListener_start_runner] [processor: ; event: ] org.mule.runtime.core.internal.construct.AbstractFlowConstruct: Flow ImportPendingCorrectionsFlow has not been started INFO 2021-05-25 12:40:21,056 [WrapperListener_start_runner] [processor: ; event: ] org.mule.runtime.core.internal.construct.FlowConstructLifecycleManager: Starting flow: ImportInvoicesFlow INFO 2021-05-25 12:40:21,056 [WrapperListener_start_runner] [processor: ; event: ] org.mule.runtime.core.internal.construct.FlowConstructLifecycleManager: Stopping flow: ImportInvoicesFlow

and the same message for all flows in my application.

Then I tried to run an existing MUnit test, which was running correctly since a month or more, and I recieved this error:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

  • Running test: ImportInvoicesFlowTestWithIncorrectVehicleCount - Test + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ java.lang.AssertionError: The error ID thrown does not match the expected one. expected:<[APP:VALIDATION]> but was:<[HTTP:CONNECTIVITY]> at org.mule.munit.runner.flow.TestFlow.run(TestFlow.java:313) Caused by: java.io.IOException: Remotely closed Caused by: java.io.IOException: Remotely closed

This is indeed very strange - as this flow has nothing to do with HTTP at all.

Finally, I have discovered a very strange WARN in the console:

WARN 2021-05-25 13:04:35,613 [Mule.app.deployer.monitor.1.thread.1] [processor: ; event: ] com.mulesoft.agent.configuration.descriptor.YamlMuleAgentDescriptor: Descriptor file /home/xxxxxxx/apps/AnypointStudio-7.7.0-linux64/AnypointStudio/plugins/org.mule.tooling.server.4.3.0.ee_7.3.5.202105101830/mule/conf/invoices-esb-mule4-app.yml not found.

I don't know what's happening here, i have never ever created such a file as invoices-esb-mule4-app.yml. I assume that this is some kind of a configuration file created by Mule itself basing on the application name. The path is strange here, as the workspace I'm working on is in /home/xxxxxxx/AnypointStudio7/workspace-2/

Other information that can be helpful (or not)

Is anyone having an idea what could have happened to my Anypoint Studio or my application?

I encountered a similar problem in which the logs said FlowConstructLifecycleManager: Starting flow [flow name], then FlowConstructLifecycleManager: Stopping flow [flow name], then AbstractFlowConstruct: Flow [flow name] has not been started. Then repeat those three with the next flow.

After spending more than a day trying various solutions, my team tried going to Run, Run Configurations, select Mule Applications, select the Mule application, General tab, "Clear Application Data:" and changing it to "Always". It had been "Never". After making this change and running it again, it started working. Hope this helps you or someone else with a similar "Stopping flow" problem.

The YML could be a per application configuration file created by the Runtime Manager Agent. It is strange that it is create in an execution inside Studio though. Check if the /home/xxxxxxx/apps/AnypointStudio-7.7.0-linux64/AnypointStudio/plugins/org.mule.tooling.server.4.3.0.ee_7.3.5.202105101830/mule/conf/mule-agent.yml is referencing it.
