process.error.MethodNotFound

Error message

Method not found: {methodId}

What it means

Thrown by fillValue when a context function references an object (func.func) that findObject cannot resolve — the transform/method object does not exist in the model. Message includes the missing methodId.

Solutions

1. Look up the methodId in the model; recreate the missing function object or fix the reference.
2. Re-export/import the full template including all function objects so ids resolve.
3. Remove or update the stale entry in context.functions.
4. Add preflight validation of context.functions against the model before running the process step.

Example fix

// before: blind iteration
for (const func of context.functions ?? []) { ... }
// after: validate first
const missing = (context.functions ?? []).filter(f => control.client.getModel().findObject(f.func) === undefined)
if (missing.length > 0) throw new Error('Unknown functions: ' + missing.map(f => f.func).join(', '))

const missing = (context.functions ?? [])
  .map(f => f.func)
  .filter(id => control.client.getModel().findObject(id) === undefined)
if (missing.length > 0) throw new Error('Unknown function ids: ' + missing.join(', '))

function isKnownFunction(control: ProcessControl, id: Ref<Doc>): boolean {
  return control.client.getModel().findObject(id) !== undefined
}

try {
  const value = await getContextValue(ctx, control, execution)
} catch (err) {
  if ((err as Error).message.startsWith('Method not found')) {
    // strip stale function from context.functions and retry
  } else throw err
}

When it happens

Trigger: getContextValue → fillValue iterating context.functions where a function's func id points to a deleted or never-created object in the model.

Common situations: Process templates referencing functions removed during refactors/migrations; importing templates between workspaces where function objects were not exported; typo'd or stale object ids stored in context.functions.
