Error message

SlackBridge_disabled

What it means

Thrown by removeSlackBridgeChannelLinks when the caller passes the user and permission checks but settings.get('SlackBridge_Enabled') is not exactly true. The SlackBridge feature is disabled at the instance level, so removing its channel links is refused to avoid inconsistent state.

Solutions

  1. If link removal is genuinely needed, temporarily enable SlackBridge_Enabled, run the removal, then disable it again - or perform the cleanup directly via the Rooms.unsetAllImportIds in a maintenance script.
  2. If SlackBridge is off permanently, suppress the removal UI; there is nothing to link.
  3. Confirm with the admin whether importIds should be cleared at all when the bridge is inactive.

Example fix

// before
Meteor.call('removeSlackBridgeChannelLinks') // SlackBridge_Enabled = false

// after - enable then remove (or skip)
await Settings.set('SlackBridge_Enabled', true)
Meteor.call('removeSlackBridgeChannelLinks')
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

const enabled = settings.get('SlackBridge_Enabled');
if (enabled !== true) throw new ClientError('config','SlackBridge_Enabled is off; nothing to remove');

Type guard

function isSlackBridgeEnabled(v) { return v === true; }

Try / catch

try { Meteor.call('removeSlackBridgeChannelLinks'); }
catch (e) {
  if (e?.error === 'SlackBridge_disabled') { surface('Enable SlackBridge before removing links'); return; }
  throw e;
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: An authorized admin calls removeSlackBridgeChannelLinks while SlackBridge_Enabled is false (feature off, never configured, or disabled).

Common situations: SlackBridge was disabled after a migration but leftover admin UI still exposes the link-removal action. New instance where SlackBridge was never enabled.
