Workflow fails with no error message if an input is missing

I ran a WDL with an input defined as workspace.some_file. However I didn't actually have some_file defined in the workspace attributes. When I went to run the WDL it failed immediately but with no error message. The job history looked like this:

 

 

There was also no error on the inputs page to indicate that workspace.some_file wasn't correct. It would be much better if there was an error message somewhere. Thanks!
