Error: chatflowsController.deleteChatflow - id not provided!

Error message

Error: chatflowsController.deleteChatflow - id not provided!

What it means

Thrown by deleteChatflow when req.params.id is undefined or empty. First guard in the handler, returns PRECONDITION_FAILED (412). It precedes the org/workspace/permission checks, so hitting it means the request never even reached authorization logic.

Solutions

1. Confirm the DELETE target URL has a non-empty id.
2. Guard the client-side call: only invoke when an id is selected.
3. Verify route definition and client path agree on param naming.

Example fix

// before
await api.delete(`/api/v1/chatflows/${selected?.id}`)
// after
if (!selected?.id) throw new Error('select a chatflow to delete')
await api.delete(`/api/v1/chatflows/${selected.id}`)

if (!selected?.id) {
  throw new Error('select a chatflow before attempting delete')
}

function hasSelectedChatflow(s: unknown): s is { id: string } {
  return typeof s === 'object' && s !== null && typeof (s as any).id === 'string' && (s as any).id.length > 0
}

When it happens

Trigger: DELETE /api/v1/chatflows/:id issued without an id segment; client sent DELETE to the collection root; id variable undefined in the calling code.

Common situations: UI delete button clicked before a row was selected; client built URL from a null field; SDK version mismatch on the delete endpoint path.
