org %q not found

Error message

org %q not found

What it means

Returned by Client.OrgChecks in internal/cloud/checks.go when the GetOrgChecks GraphQL response comes back with a nil org — Dagger Cloud has no org matching the requested name for the authenticated user. The error embeds the requested org name for diagnosis.

Solutions

  1. Verify the org slug on Dagger Cloud (Settings > Organizations) and fix the spelling/case
  2. Confirm your DAGGER_CLOUD_TOKEN / logged-in user is a member of that org
  3. Re-authenticate with 'dagger login' if the token is stale or revoked
  4. Update any configured org name (config/flags) after an org rename

Example fix

// before
nodes, err := client.OrgChecks(ctx, "my-orgnization")
// after
const org = "my-organization" // verify exact slug on Dagger Cloud
nodes, err := client.OrgChecks(ctx, org)
if err != nil && strings.Contains(err.Error(), "not found") {
    return fmt.Errorf("check org %q exists and your token has access: %w", org, err)
}
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

org := "my-organization"
if org == "" || !regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$`).MatchString(org) {
    return fmt.Errorf("invalid org slug %q", org)
}
// ensure credentials exist first
if os.Getenv("DAGGER_CLOUD_TOKEN") == "" { return fmt.Errorf("not logged in") }

Try / catch

nodes, err := client.OrgChecks(ctx, org)
if err != nil {
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "not found") {
        return fmt.Errorf("org %q not found: verify slug and token access", org)
    }
    return err
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Calling OrgChecks with an org slug that doesn't exist, isn't accessible to the current credentials, or where the GraphQL query returned null for org (e.g. bad org name in .telemetry/cloud config or dagger cloud flags).

Common situations: Typo in the org slug; org renamed on Dagger Cloud; API token belongs to a different org or lacks access; running 'dagger cloud' commands with a stale org configured.

Understand the failure class

Background: 'Could not be found', 'does not exist', 'not found in database': the resource-not-found family when an ID, slug, key, or URI lookup comes back empty — this error's family across 20 libraries.
