antigravity recent-paths: No recent paths recorded.

Error message

antigravity recent-paths: No recent paths recorded.

What it means

Thrown by the `antigravity recent-paths` command when the key `history.recentlyOpenedPathsList` is absent from Antigravity's global state database (User/globalStorage/state.vscdb). This library command reads VSCode-style state storage and requires this key to exist before it can render the recently-opened paths table. It signals that the state DB exists but has never recorded an opened-path history.

Solutions

  1. Open at least one file or folder in Antigravity, then rerun the command
  2. Verify the state DB exists at ~/Library/Application Support/Antigravity/User/globalStorage/state.vscdb and that the key exists: sqlite3 state.vscdb "SELECT key FROM ItemTable WHERE key LIKE 'history.%';"
  3. If Antigravity is running and the DB is locked or stale, close Antigravity and retry
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Validate before calling

import { execFileSync } from 'node:child_process';
const out = execFileSync('/usr/bin/sqlite3',
  [dbPath, "SELECT value FROM ItemTable WHERE key='history.recentlyOpenedPathsList';"],
  { encoding: 'utf-8' }).trim();
if (!out) console.log('No recent paths recorded yet; open files in Antigravity first.');

Try / catch

try {
  await cli.run(['antigravity', 'recent-paths']);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.name === 'EmptyResultError' && e.command === 'antigravity recent-paths') {
    console.log('No history yet — open files/folders in Antigravity first.');
  } else throw e;
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Running `opencli antigravity recent-paths` when sqliteQuery returns no value for history.recentlyOpenedPathsList in AG_GLOBAL_STATE_DB — i.e. the key is missing from the ItemTable of state.vscdb.

Common situations: Antigravity installed but never used to open files/folders; a fresh or cleared profile where User/globalStorage/state.vscdb has no history key yet; a wiped or corrupted state.vscdb.
