Failed to publish prompt: ${error.message}

Error message

Failed to publish prompt: ${error.message}

What it means

Community Hub publisher for System Prompts. The modal gathers name, description, prompt, tags and visibility, then calls CommunityHub.createSystemPrompt; when the API answers success:false the error is rethrown and toasted as 'Failed to publish prompt: <reason>'.

Solutions

1. Check the toast suffix and console.error for the API's specific message
2. Complete every field in the publish form before submitting
3. Rename the prompt if a duplicate-name rejection is reported
4. Confirm hub authentication is active, then retry once network/hub status is verified

const name = form.get("name")?.trim();
const description = form.get("description")?.trim();
const prompt = form.get("prompt")?.trim();
if (!name || !description || !prompt) return disableSubmit("all fields are required");

catch (error) {
  console.error("Failed to publish prompt:", error);
  showToast(`Failed to publish prompt: ${error.message}`, "error", { clear: true });
  if (/unauthor|401/i.test(error.message)) promptHubReconnect();
}

When it happens

Trigger: createSystemPrompt rejects: empty name/description/prompt fields, duplicate published prompt name, invalid tags, missing hub authentication, or a backend/network error.

Common situations: Not signed in to the Community Hub; publishing the same prompt name twice; prompt body too large; transient hub outage or version mismatch between client and server.
