Unexpected error while listing all queue items: {e}

Error message

Unexpected error while listing all queue items: {e}

What it means

Catch-all in the list_all_queue_items endpoint: any failure while fetching the full queue item list (or sanitizing items per-user) becomes a 500 whose detail carries the underlying exception text. Thrown because the router treats all service-layer failures identically rather than mapping known errors (e.g. InvalidQueueIDError) to 4xx responses.

Solutions

1. Inspect the detail string - it contains the underlying exception; address that specific cause
2. Confirm queue_id matches a queue on the running instance
3. If it happens with multiuser enabled, check stored queue items for malformed data the sanitizer cannot handle
4. Retry under lighter DB load or after restarting if SQLite lock contention is suspected

const q = await fetch(`/api/v1/queue/${queueId}`);
if (!q.ok) throw new Error(`Unknown queue_id: ${queueId}`);

function isQueueItemList(v) { return Array.isArray(v) && v.every(i => i && typeof i === 'object' && 'item_id' in i); }

try {
  const res = await fetch(`/api/v1/queue/${queueId}/list_all`);
  if (!res.ok) { console.error('list_all failed:', (await res.json()).detail); return []; }
  return await res.json();
} catch { return []; }

When it happens

Trigger: GET /{queue_id}/list_all (optionally with destination param) when the queue service raises - nonexistent queue_id, DB query failure, or an exception raised during sanitize_queue_item_for_user on a malformed stored item.

Common situations: Polling a queue id from a different InvokeAI instance than the one serving the request; multiuser setups where a stored item lacks fields the sanitizer expects; transient SQLite locking under heavy queue load.
