Style preset not found

Error message

Style preset not found

What it means

This HTTP 404 is raised by _load_record_or_404 when the style preset records service throws StylePresetNotFoundError, i.e. no preset exists with the given style_preset_id. It is shared by get, delete, and image-fetch endpoints so unknown IDs consistently return 404.

Solutions

1. List available presets (GET /style_presets/) and confirm the ID exists
2. Refresh client-side cached preset references; remove stale IDs from persisted state
3. Treat 404 as final for deleted presets — re-import the preset from its export file if still needed
4. Double-check the ID string for truncation or copying errors

Example fix

// before
const preset = await api.get(`/style_presets/i/${id}`); // throws if deleted
// after
try {
  const preset = await api.get(`/style_presets/i/${id}`);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.response?.status === 404) {
    localStorage.removeItem('lastPresetId');
    const all = await api.get('/style_presets/');
    return all.data;
  }
  throw e;
}

const all = (await api.get('/style_presets/')).data;
if (!all.some(p => p.id === stylePresetId)) {
  console.warn(`Preset ${stylePresetId} not in current preset list; it may be deleted`);
}

function isKnownPreset(presetList, id) {
  return Array.isArray(presetList) && presetList.some(p => p?.id === id);
}

try {
  return (await api.get(`/style_presets/i/${id}`)).data;
} catch (e) {
  if (e.response?.status === 404) {
    invalidateCachedPreset(id);
    return null;
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: GET/DELETE on /style_presets/i/{style_preset_id} with an ID that was deleted, never existed, or is mistyped.

Common situations: Preset deleted by another user/admin while a client still references it; stale ID stored in browser localStorage after a DB reset or fresh install; IDs from a different InvokeAI instance or an exported file from another deployment.
