Invalid cloud provider sync status response.

Error message

Invalid cloud provider sync status response.

What it means

parseCloudProviderSyncStatus validates the provider sync status response: it must be an object with a boolean `hasSession` and a `providers` array. Anything else — null, HTML, missing fields, non-array providers — throws this error before per-provider parsing begins.

Solutions

1. Log the raw body and HTTP status before parsing to identify the real payload.
2. Re-authenticate with the Den server; an unauthorized error body often lacks these fields.
3. Verify the base URL points at the intended OpenWork Den server/environment.
4. Diff the response against the current server API schema and update the parser if fields changed.

Example fix

// before: parse blindly
const status = parseCloudProviderSyncStatus(await res.json());
// after: guard status + shape, with a descriptive failure
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`Sync status fetch failed (${res.status}): ${await res.text()}`);
const body = await res.json();
const status = parseCloudProviderSyncStatus(body);

const body = await res.json();
const looksLikeStatus =
  body && typeof body === "object" &&
  "hasSession" in body && typeof body.hasSession === "boolean" &&
  "providers" in body && Array.isArray(body.providers);
if (!looksLikeStatus) throw new Error(`Sync status payload malformed: ${JSON.stringify(body).slice(0, 200)}`);

function isSyncStatusPayload(v: unknown): v is { hasSession: boolean; providers: unknown[] } {
  return (
    typeof v === "object" && v !== null &&
    "hasSession" in v && typeof (v as { hasSession: unknown }).hasSession === "boolean" &&
    "providers" in v && Array.isArray((v as { providers: unknown }).providers)
  );
}

try {
  const status = await client.cloud.providerSync.status();
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof Error && err.message.includes("Invalid cloud provider sync status response")) {
    // shape mismatch: verify auth token and environment URL, then log body
    await reauthenticateIfExpired();
  } else throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Polling the provider sync status endpoint via createOpenworkServerClient and the body lacks `hasSession` or `providers`, is an error object (e.g. `{error: "unauthorized"}`), or is not JSON at all.

Common situations: Expired/missing auth token returning an error payload with 200, proxy or captive portal injecting HTML, server schema drift renaming fields, hitting the wrong environment (staging/prod mismatch).

Understand the failure class

Background: Schema validation failed / invalid input schema: payload rejected because its shape doesn't match the expected schema — this error's family across 28 libraries.
