Error message

request failed: %s %s

What it means

The gva CLI runner sends a manifest-defined command as an HTTP request to the gva server. Any response with status >= 400 is converted into this error containing the HTTP status line plus the response body, so the server-side error message surfaces directly in the CLI.

Solutions

  1. Read resp.Status and the body in the error message for the server's actual reason
  2. If 401, re-login: gva login --token <new-token> to refresh the stored JWT
  3. If 403, check the user's Casbin API permissions in the gva admin
  4. If 400, compare the built payload against the target API's expected request struct
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Try / catch

if err := runManifestCommand(cmd, def); err != nil {
    var reqErr *RequestFailedError
    if errors.As(err, &reqErr) && reqErr.Status == 401 {
        // prompt re-login: gva login --token <new>
    }
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: The server responds 4xx/5xx to the CLI request: invalid/expired JWT (401), Casbin denial (403), bad payload (400/422), or server error (500).

Common situations: Token in local CLI config expired; user lacks permission for the target API; request payload built by buildRequestPayload doesn't match the API contract; server is erroring.
