A jadpo test command names a path that isn't there, or a seed, a kind or a --name it can't use.

Area 14, Tools; not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

Why Jadpo refuses it

jadpo test runs the tests in a file, a folder or a project, in an order its seed sets. A path that isn't there, or a seed that isn't one, would run nothing, and saying it passed would be wrong.

What it looks like

The seed isn't a number:

shell
jadpo test --seed first
jadpo test

error first isn't an order seed

reason
An order seed is a whole number of 0 or more, as a failed test's rerun command shows it.
next
Give the seed from the rerun command, such as --seed 48213 (agent)
rule
cli.test_arguments
help
https://jadpo.dev/docs/errors/cli.test_arguments

(agent) at the end of the next: line means your coding agent can make the fix itself.

A path that isn't there is refused too:

shell
jadpo test tests/greet.test.jadpo
jadpo test

error tests/greet.test.jadpo doesn't exist

reason
There is no file or folder at this path.
next
Give a .test.jadpo file, a file and a line as <file>:<line>, or a folder (agent)
rule
cli.test_arguments
help
https://jadpo.dev/docs/errors/cli.test_arguments

How to fix it

If you are rerunning a failed test, use the seed its rerun command gives:

shell
jadpo test --seed 48213

The tests run in the same order as the run that failed.
