Member not found

Error message

Member not found

What it means

Thrown by updateMemberRole in the project member store when getProjectMemberDetails(userId, projectId) returns falsy or has no id. This is a precondition check before the optimistic role update + REST call to updateProjectMember, ensuring the local store has a member record to revert to on failure.

Solutions

1. Ensure fetchProjectMembers for the project has resolved before enabling the role-change action (gate the UI on member presence).
2. Re-fetch the project member list and retry; the member may simply not be loaded yet.
3. Confirm the userId is still a project member — if removed elsewhere, refresh state and remove the row.
4. Guard the action with a getProjectMemberDetails check at the call site and show a loading state instead of invoking.

Example fix

// before: action invoked even when member not in store
updateMemberRole = async (workspaceSlug, projectId, userId, role) => {
  const memberDetails = this.getProjectMemberDetails(userId, projectId);
  if (!memberDetails || !memberDetails?.id) throw new Error("Member not found");
// after: caller-side guard prevents the call
const canChange = Boolean(this.getProjectMemberDetails(userId, projectId)?.id);
if (!canChange) return;

const member = projectMemberStore.getProjectMemberDetails(userId, projectId);
if (!member?.id) {
  await projectMemberStore.fetchProjectMembers(workspaceSlug, projectId);
  return;
}

const hasMemberId = (m: unknown): m is { id: string } =>
  typeof m === 'object' && m !== null && typeof (m as any).id === 'string';

try { await updateMemberRole(workspaceSlug, projectId, userId, role); }
catch (e) { showRoleUpdateError(); }

When it happens

Trigger: Opening a project member's role dropdown and saving before the project member list for that project has been fetched/loaded into projectMemberMap; the userId passed in does not correspond to any member of that project (already removed, or never a member); the member record exists but its id field is unset due to a partial store hydration.

Common situations: Admin opens the members panel via a deep link before the member list request resolves; race after a member was just removed in another tab; stale userId from a closed panel; SSR/initial render firing the action before data is in.
