No valid templates were found (latest version, latest templates version)

[wyv3rnnn]

Nuclei version:

2.5.9

Nuclei Templates version:

8.8.3

Current Behavior:

Currently when you try to do a scan for web technologies it will give you the error "No valid templates were found" even though entire template folder is filled to the brim with templates that were working in previous versions (see screenshot below).

Expected Behavior:

When running the command, it should just work and not complain about "no valid templates".

Steps To Reproduce Behavior:

1. Run 'nuclei -t nuclei-templates/technologies/ -u https://example.com'
2. See error...

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
WYV3RN

I've tested with both 2.5.9 and 2.6.0-dev and I can't reproduce this issue.

???? That's exactly what I ran...

@wyv3rnnn can you include full screenshot including cmd as well? or share the output running the same cmd with -v flag.

@wyv3rnnn could you also make sure that the folder you've listed above coincides with the path configured in the nuclei-templates-directory under the ~/.config/nuclei/.templates-config.json file, and the update-directory in the ~/.config/nuclei/config.yaml file points to the same folder (both should be absolute paths)?

So I just ran the same command today and it auto-updated the "nuclei-templates" version from 8.8.3 to 8.8.4 and now everything is working again? I'm not sure what the problem was now...
