Error fetching triggers: {e}

What it means

Printed with SystemExit(1) by TriggerCommand.list_triggers() in crewai_cli/triggers/main.py when any exception occurs while fetching triggers from CrewAI Plus (self.plus_api_client.get_triggers()), including response validation failures from _validate_response (auth errors, non-200 status).

Solutions

1. Authenticate first: `crewai login` (or set the API key) and retry `crewai trigger list`.
2. Check network/proxy access to the CrewAI Plus API from your environment.
3. Run with any verbose/debug flag or re-run `crewai login` if the token expired.
4. If _validate_response failed with a status message, address that status (e.g. workspace has no integrations installed — add one in the Plus dashboard).

from crewai_cli.authentication.platform import PlatformAuthentication
auth = PlatformAuthentication()
if not auth.get_api_key():
    raise SystemExit("Not authenticated — run `crewai login` first")

import time
for attempt in range(3):
    try:
        response = plus_api_client.get_triggers()
        break
    except Exception:
        if attempt == 2:
            raise
        time.sleep(2 ** attempt)

When it happens

Trigger: Running `crewai trigger list` without being authenticated to CrewAI Plus (missing/expired API key), with a 401/403 from the Plus API, a network failure, or a malformed JSON response failing _validate_response.

Common situations: Not logged in via `crewai login`; CREWAI_API_KEY expired or from a different workspace with no trigger integrations; corporate proxy blocking api.crewai.com; Plus API outage.
