Channel is not selected

Error message

Channel is not selected

What it means

Thrown by fetchChannelKey in the channel mutate drawer when channelId is falsy at call time. The channel key endpoint requires an existing channel id (view/edit key of a saved channel), so creating-mode (channelId null/undefined/0) cannot fetch a key and fails fast with this English literal (not i18n'd).

Solutions

1. Only render/enable the unlock-key control when channelId is a positive number (isEditing mode)
2. Pass the real channel id from the row into the drawer and confirm it is set before opening the key section
3. Reset drawer state (including channelId) when switching between create and edit modes
4. In create mode, have the user paste the key directly — there is nothing to fetch yet

Example fix

// before
{isEditing && <Button onClick={() => fetchChannelKey()} />}
// after
{isEditing && channelId != null && (
  <Button onClick={() => fetchChannelKey()} />
)}

if (!channelId) return // never render/enable key actions in create mode
const hasChannelId = channelId != null && channelId > 0

const hasSavedChannel = (id: number | string | null | undefined): id is number =>
  typeof id === 'number' && id > 0

When it happens

Trigger: The unlock/view key action is invoked while the drawer is in create mode (channelId not yet assigned), or the id prop was never passed/propagated to this drawer instance.

Common situations: Component race where the key button renders before the id resolves; drawer reused for create after editing (stale closure or unreset state); caller passes id=0/undefined instead of null and the falsy check still trips.
