Error message

result.message || t('createWorkspaceFromPr.errors.failedToCreateWorkspace')

What it means

This is the default arm of the createFromPr result switch: when success is false and error.type matches none of the known CreateFromPrError variants, the dialog throws result.message (backend-provided generic message) or falls back to the localized failedToCreateWorkspace string. It represents any unrecognized creation failure returned by the backend.

Solutions

1. Read result.message in the devtools/network response for the real backend error text
2. Rebuild/regenerate shared types (pnpm run generate-types) so frontend and backend CreateFromPrError variants match
3. Retry the operation; if it persists, check backend logs for the workspace creation request
4. Add a case for the new error type in the switch if a new variant was introduced upstream

Example fix

// before
export type CreateFromPrError = ... | { type: 'unsupported_provider' };
// after (regenerated after backend added a variant)
export type CreateFromPrError = ... | { type: 'unsupported_provider' } | { type: 'new_variant', message: string };

// keep the frontend's CreateFromPrError in sync; CI check:
// pnpm run generate-types:check — fails when shared/types.ts diverges from the Rust source

function hasKnownErrorType(e: unknown): e is CreateFromPrError {
  const known = ['pr_not_found','branch_fetch_failed','cli_not_installed','auth_failed','unsupported_provider'];
  return typeof e === 'object' && e !== null && 'type' in e && known.includes((e as { type: string }).type);
}

try {
  const result = await workspacesApi.createFromPr(input);
  if (!result.success) {
    if (hasKnownErrorType(result.error)) throw new Error(describe(result.error));
    throw new Error(result.message ?? t('createWorkspaceFromPr.errors.failedToCreateWorkspace'));
  }
} catch (err) {
  logToTelemetry('create_from_pr_unclassified', { raw: (err as Error).message });
  show((err as Error).message);
}

When it happens

Trigger: workspacesApi.createFromPr resolves success:false with an error.type outside {branch_fetch_failed, auth_failed, cli_not_installed, pr_not_found, unsupported_provider}, or result.message is set while error is absent/unknown; thrown as the mutation error and shown in the dialog.

Common situations: Shared type drift between frontend and backend after an upgrade adds a new CreateFromPrError variant; transient backend/internal errors surfaced with only a top-level message; serialization mismatch producing an unclassifiable payload.
