get workspace ID: %w

Error message

get workspace ID: %w

What it means

After successfully selecting the currentWorkspace object, loadWorkspaceArg calls ws.ID() to build the argument's dagql ID. If that ID computation fails, the error is wrapped as "get workspace ID". This is a late-stage failure: the workspace loaded but could not be fingerprinted.

Solutions

1. Inspect the wrapped cause for the underlying ID computation failure
2. Verify the workspace source directory is readable and valid
3. Retry the call; if persistent, recreate the workspace from a known-good directory

if err != nil {
	if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "get workspace ID") {
		// workspace loaded but ID computation failed; check source readability
	}
}

When it happens

Trigger: ws.ID() fails on the freshly loaded Workspace — typically an underlying error computing the ID of its source directory (unreadable content, underlying store failure).

Common situations: Workspace whose underlying directory content cannot be hashed (permissions, IO error); rare internal failures in the dagql ID cache layer.
