Could not find public event.

Error message

Could not find public event.

What it means

Thrown by EventTypesController_2024_04_15.getPublicEventType as InternalServerErrorException (HTTP 500) when the catch block completes without throwing — i.e. the caught value is not an Error instance. Because the catch only handles Error subclasses, a non-Error throw (string, plain object) falls through and execution reaches the trailing `throw new InternalServerErrorException`.

Solutions

1. Retry the request once to rule out a transient cause; if it persists, escalate to server logs.
2. Search getPublicEvent and its callees for `throw` of non-Error values and normalize them to Error.
3. Add a default branch in the catch that logs the raw value (typeof + JSON) before falling through.
4. If you control the server, refactor the catch to handle unknown values explicitly instead of relying on the fallthrough.

Example fix

// before
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof Error) throw new NotFoundException(err.message);
}
throw new InternalServerErrorException('Could not find public event.');
// after
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof HttpException) throw err;
  if (err instanceof Error) throw new NotFoundException(err.message);
  logger.error({ err }, 'Non-Error thrown in getPublicEventType');
}
throw new InternalServerErrorException('Could not find public event.');

try {
  return await api.get(`/v2/event-types/${username}/${slug}/public`);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.response?.status === 500) {
    // retry once; if it persists, the server caught a non-Error — escalate
    return await api.get(`/v2/event-types/${username}/${slug}/public`);
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: getPublicEvent (or its dependencies: organizationsRepository.findTeamIdAndSlugFromClientId, the Prisma read service) throwing a non-Error value; a Promise rejection with a primitive; an unhandled edge case in team/org resolution that rejects with a plain object.

Common situations: A library used by getPublicEvent throwing a string error; a stale build where a dependency was partially upgraded; a mocked test that rejects with a non-Error. This is a server defect, not a client-correctable condition.
