Error: chatflowsController.getChatflowById - id not provided

Error message

Error: chatflowsController.getChatflowById - id not provided!

What it means

Thrown by getChatflowById when req.params.id is missing. First guard in the handler, returns PRECONDITION_FAILED (412). Precedes the workspace check, so reaching it means the id was absent before authorization context was even examined.

Solutions

1. Confirm the request URL has a non-empty id.
2. Guard the client call against undefined id.
3. Match client path to server route param name.

Example fix

// before
await api.get(`/api/v1/chatflows/${row?.id}`)
// after
if (!row?.id) throw new Error('row id required')
await api.get(`/api/v1/chatflows/${row.id}`)

if (!id || typeof id !== 'string' || id.length === 0) {
  throw new Error('chatflow id required')
}

function isNonEmptyId(v: unknown): v is string {
  return typeof v === 'string' && v.trim().length > 0
}

When it happens

Trigger: GET /api/v1/chatflows/:id called without an id segment; id variable undefined in client; route param name mismatch.

Common situations: Frontend navigates to detail route before an id is selected; SDK path change; proxy strip of the segment.
