Error message

t('createWorkspaceFromPr.errors.unsupportedProvider')

What it means

This error surfaces when workspacesApi.createFromPr returns { success: false, error: { type: 'unsupported_provider' } }. The backend does not support the git remote's forge provider for PR operations (only certain ProviderKinds are implemented). The dialog maps it to the localized createWorkspaceFromPr.errors.unsupportedProvider message.

Solutions

1. Check the repo's remote URL points to a supported provider (GitHub/GitLab); update it with `git remote set-url` if wrong
2. Use a repo hosted on a supported forge for PR-based workspace creation
3. Upgrade the app/backend to a version that supports your provider, if support was added upstream
4. Create the workspace directly from a branch instead of from a PR for unsupported providers

Example fix

// before
git remote -v
origin  git@bitbucket.org:team/repo.git   -> unsupported_provider
// after
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:team/repo.git

const SUPPORTED = ['github.com', 'gitlab.com'];
function providerSupported(remoteUrl: string) {
  return SUPPORTED.some((host) => /@|^https?:\/\//.test(remoteUrl) && remoteUrl.includes(host));
}
// before opening Create-from-PR, check the selected remote:
if (!providerSupported(remote.url)) show('This provider does not support PR-based workspace creation');

function isUnsupportedProvider(e: CreateFromPrError | undefined): e is { type: 'unsupported_provider' } {
  return e?.type === 'unsupported_provider';
}

try {
  await workspacesApi.createFromPr(input);
} catch (err) {
  if (isUnsupportedProvider(err.cause ?? err)) {
    show('Provider unsupported for PR import — create the workspace from a branch instead.');
    switchToBranchFlow();
  }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Create Workspace clicked on a repo whose remote host is not a supported provider (e.g. Bitbucket, self-hosted Gitea, generic git server); workspacesApi.createFromPr resolves success:false with error.type 'unsupported_provider'.

Common situations: Repo cloned from a provider other than GitHub/GitLab (Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Gitea); SSH remote URL in a non-standard format the backend can't classify; enterprise/self-hosted forge not yet supported by this version.
