No such invitation found

Error message

No such invitation found

What it means

Thrown by `commandShareAcceptOrReject` when filtering `shareState.shareInvitations` for entries whose `share.folder_id` matches the given folderId AND whose status is `ShareUserStatus.Waiting` yields zero results. The command therefore cannot find a pending invitation to act on. Used by both `share accept` and `share reject`.

Solutions

1. Run `share list` (no notebook) to view incoming invitations and confirm which folder ids are Waiting.
2. Run `:sync` to pull the latest invitation state, then retry.
3. If the invitation is no longer Waiting, it has already been handled — no further action.

Example fix

// before
if (invitations.length === 0) throw new Error('No such invitation found');

// after - include the folderId and hint at the pending set
if (invitations.length === 0) throw new Error(`No pending invitation for folder ${folderId}. Run \`share list\` to see waiting invitations.`);

const invitations = getShareState().shareInvitations.filter(
	i => i.share.folder_id === folderId && i.status === ShareUserStatus.Waiting,
);
if (invitations.length === 0) {
	throw new Error(`No pending invitation for folder ${folderId}. Run \`share list\`.`);
}

const isWaitingInvitation = (i: ShareInvitation, folderId: string): boolean => i.share.folder_id === folderId && i.status === ShareUserStatus.Waiting;

try {
	await commandShareAccept(folderId);
} catch (e) {
	if (/No such invitation/.test(e.message)) { /* sync then show waiting invitations */ }
	else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running `share accept <notebook>` / `share reject <notebook>` when there is no Waiting invitation for that folder — either because it was already accepted/rejected, expired server-side, or never existed. Note the filter keys on folder_id, so passing the wrong notebook (e.g. one you own rather than one shared with you) also yields zero matches.

Common situations: Trying to accept an invitation you already handled; the invitation was revoked by the sender; passing a notebook id that is a share you OWN (invitations only exist for incoming shares); sync has not pulled the latest invitation list.
