Select a router

Error message

Select a router

What it means

Workspace chat LLM selector save guard. When the selected provider is 'anythingllm-router', saving requires a non-empty selectedRouterId; otherwise the localized 'model-router.chat.select-router-error' message (default text 'Select a router') is thrown before any API call is made.

Solutions

1. Pick a router in the router dropdown before saving
2. If no routers are listed, create one first in the model-router admin pages
3. Reload the page when the router list failed to load, then select and save

const isRouter = selectedLLMProvider === "anythingllm-router";
const canSave = isRouter ? !!selectedRouterId : !!validatedModelSelection(selectedLLMModel);
// <button disabled={!canSave} onClick={handleSave}>Save</button>

try { await handleSave(); }
catch (e) { if (e.message === t("model-router.chat.select-router-error")) highlightRouterDropdown(); else throw e; }

When it happens

Trigger: Provider dropdown set to anythingllm-router while the router sub-selection is empty — because no routers exist, the router list is still loading, or the user simply never picked one — and Save is clicked.

Common situations: No routers created yet in the model-router admin section; router fetch failed so the dropdown is empty; user switched provider to the router option and immediately saved.
