Error message

json.error_message

What it means

ResponseError thrown at product_dashboard.ts:51 whose message is json.error_message from the POST to Routes.product_duplicates_path(): the duplication kickoff endpoint answered { success: false, error_message } and the client forwards the server's reason. This is the synchronous validation result — the asynchronous part (the actual copy job) is polled separately and fails via error 89.

Solutions

1. Read the thrown error_message — it is the server's specific refusal reason
2. If it reports a duplicate already in progress, wait for the existing job (the poller in error 89 will report it) instead of enqueueing again
3. Address the stated constraint (product limit, unsupported type) and retry once resolved
4. Disable the duplicate action while a request is in flight to avoid double-enqueue refusals

import { assertResponseError } from '$app/utils/request';
assertResponseError(e);

try {
  await duplicateProduct(permalink, productName);
} catch (e) {
  assertResponseError(e);
  showError(e.message); // server's refusal (limits, unsupported type, in-progress)
}

When it happens

Trigger: The duplicate endpoint refuses to even enqueue duplication: account/product limits reached, product type or feature not supported for duplication, permalink missing/foreign, or the user lacking permission. The message text is whatever the controller put in error_message.

Common situations: Hitting a per-account product-count cap on a large catalog; duplicating a product type whose files live in external storage still being migrated; double-click on 'Duplicate' enqueueing twice (second call may fail with 'duplication already in progress'); stale dashboard session where the session check fails and the endpoint answers success:false with a generic message.
