Workspace {ws_id} does not belong to org {org_id}

Error message

Workspace {ws_id} does not belong to org {org_id}

What it means

Raised by team_db.add_team_member when the Team row for ws_id is missing OR its orgId differs from the passed org_id. One guard covering both conditions: the workspace must exist and belong to the organization you are adding within. Plain ValueError from the DB layer.

Solutions

1. Re-fetch the workspace through GET /api/orgs/{org_id}/workspaces/{ws_id} before showing the add-member form; failure means the pair is invalid
2. Build the add-member URL from one TeamResponse (orgId + id) so the pair cannot diverge
3. On failure, refresh the admin's workspace list — the workspace may have been deleted or moved
4. In tests, create the workspace with create_team(org_id, ...) so orgId matches by construction

Example fix

// before
const url = `/api/orgs/${orgId}/workspaces/${selectedWsId}/members`;
// after
const ws = await getWorkspace(orgId, selectedWsId); // throws first if mismatch
const url = `/api/orgs/${ws.orgId}/workspaces/${ws.id}/members`;

const ws = await getWorkspace(orgId, wsId).catch(() => null);
if (!ws || ws.orgId !== orgId) throw new Error('Invalid org/workspace pair');

function workspaceInOrg(ws: TeamResponse, orgId: string): boolean {
  return ws.orgId === orgId;
}

try {
  await addTeamMember(orgId, wsId, userId);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.message.includes('does not belong to org')) {
    // refresh admin workspace picker; pair is stale
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: POST /api/orgs/{org_id}/workspaces/{ws_id}/members where ws_id belongs to another org or does not exist. Note the condition is ws is None or ws.orgId != org_id — an already-deleted workspace produces the same 'does not belong' wording rather than a NotFoundError.

Common situations: Admin UI where the org dropdown and workspace picker hold unrelated selections; concurrent deletion of the workspace between list and submit; fixtures pairing a workspace from org A with org B's id.
