failed to get permissions skip requests: %w

Error message

failed to get permissions skip requests: %w

What it means

GetPermissionsSkipRequests wraps any transport-level failure of the GET request to /workspaces/{id}/permissions/skip with this message. It only fires when c.get itself returns an error (connection refused, context canceled, invalid URL, etc.) — non-200 responses produce the separate 'status code %d' variant. The underlying cause is preserved via %w.

Solutions

1. Print/unwrap the wrapped cause (errors.Unwrap or %v of the error) to see the concrete transport failure.
2. Verify the crush server/daemon is running and reachable at the configured address (curl the endpoint).
3. Check ctx deadlines: pass context.WithTimeout with a generous timeout or ensure no premature cancelation.
4. Sanitize/validate the workspace id before building the URL.

Example fix

// before
ctx := context.Background()
skip, err := c.GetPermissionsSkipRequests(ctx, wsID)
// after: bounded, inspectable request
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
defer cancel()
skip, err := c.GetPermissionsSkipRequests(ctx, wsID)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("get permissions skip failed: %+v", err) // shows wrapped cause
}

// Go: probe the endpoint before the real call
req, _ := http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, http.MethodGet, baseURL+"/health", nil)
if _, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req); err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("server not reachable: %w", err)
}

skip, err := c.GetPermissionsSkipRequests(ctx, id)
if err != nil {
    if errors.Is(ctx.Err(), context.DeadlineExceeded) {
        // increase timeout and retry
    }
    return fmt.Errorf("get permissions skip: %w", err)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling GetPermissionsSkipRequests when the server is unreachable or the connection is refused, when ctx is canceled/times out before the request completes, or when the request URL is malformed (e.g. workspace id containing characters that break the URL).

Common situations: Dev server not started; wrong host/port configuration; VPN or proxy dropping the connection; context deadline exceeded during slow network; workspace id with spaces or slashes.
