workspaceStorage not found: ${AG_WORKSPACE_STORAGE}

Error message

workspaceStorage not found: ${AG_WORKSPACE_STORAGE}

What it means

Thrown by `antigravity workspaces-list` as a CommandExecutionError when the workspaceStorage directory (~/Library/Application Support/Antigravity/User/workspaceStorage) does not exist on disk. The command enumerates per-workspace subdirectories there, so without the directory it cannot proceed. It indicates Antigravity has never persisted workspace storage on this machine.

Solutions

  1. Launch Antigravity and open a workspace so it creates workspaceStorage, then rerun
  2. Check the directory exists: ls ~/Library/Application\ Support/Antigravity/User/workspaceStorage
  3. If you deleted it, restore from backup or let Antigravity recreate it by opening a folder
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

import * as fs from 'node:fs';
import * as path from 'node:path';
import * as os from 'node:os';
const dir = path.join(os.homedir(), 'Library/Application Support/Antigravity/User/workspaceStorage');
if (!fs.existsSync(dir)) {
  throw new Error(`Run Antigravity at least once; missing ${dir}`);
}

Try / catch

try {
  await cli.run(['antigravity', 'workspaces-list']);
} catch (e) {
  if (String(e.message).startsWith('workspaceStorage not found')) {
    console.log('Antigravity has never been run on this machine/account.');
  } else throw e;
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Running `opencli antigravity workspaces-list` when fs.existsSync(AG_WORKSPACE_STORAGE) is false — the User/workspaceStorage folder is missing.

Common situations: Antigravity never launched; profile directory deleted or relocated; running under a different OS user/homedir than the one Antigravity uses; cleanup scripts that removed Application Support data.
