Error deleting model: {str(e)}

Error message

Error deleting model: {str(e)}

What it means

Catch-all 500 from DELETE /api/v1/models/{model_id} when deletion fails unexpectedly. HTTPException, NotFoundError, and OpenNotebookError are re-raised first; this branch catches anything else, typically a database error during model.delete().

Solutions

1. Check API logs for 'Error deleting model {id}'
2. Unassign the model from defaults (update via PATCH defaults) before deleting
3. Verify DB connectivity and retry

const defaults = await api.getDefaultModels();
const inUse = Object.values(defaults).includes(modelId);
if (inUse) throw new Error('Reassign default before deleting');

try { await api.deleteModel(id); } catch (e) { if (e.status === 500) { checkLogs(); unassignDefaults(); await retry(); } }

When it happens

Trigger: DELETE /models/{id} while SurrealDB is unreachable, or when deletion violates a dependency (model still referenced as a default) and the driver raises a non-domain exception.

Common situations: Deleting a model that is still assigned in DefaultModels; DB outage; transaction conflicts.
