Workspace not selected

Error message

Workspace not selected

What it means

workspace.navigateToWorkspace requires a workspace id: it uses the argument, else falls back to activeWorkspaceId.value!. If both are empty it throws 'Workspace not selected' before ncNavigateTo, since navigation needs a concrete workspaceId to build the route.

Solutions

1. Pass an explicit workspaceId argument from the caller.
2. Ensure activeWorkspaceId is resolved (await workspace hydration) before calling.
3. Guard the call: if (!activeWorkspaceId.value) { await router.push('/workspaces'); return }.
4. Disable UI triggers of navigateToWorkspace until a workspace is active.

Example fix

// before
const navigateToWorkspace = async (workspaceId?: string) => {
  workspaceId = workspaceId || activeWorkspaceId.value!
  if (!workspaceId) throw new Error('Workspace not selected')
  ...
}
// after
const navigateToWorkspace = async (workspaceId?: string) => {
  workspaceId = workspaceId || activeWorkspaceId.value
  if (!workspaceId) { await router.push('/workspaces'); return }
  ncNavigateTo({ workspaceId })
}

const targetId = workspaceId || activeWorkspaceId.value
if (!targetId) {
  await router.push('/workspaces')
  return
}
ncNavigateTo({ workspaceId: targetId })

const hasWorkspaceTarget = (explicit?: string, active?: string): boolean =>
  !!explicit || !!active

try {
  await navigateToWorkspace(workspaceId)
} catch (e) {
  if ((e as Error).message === 'Workspace not selected') {
    await router.push('/workspaces')
  } else throw e
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling navigateToWorkspace() (no arg) when activeWorkspaceId is null/undefined — e.g. right after logout, before workspace hydration, or in a context where the workspace store has been cleared.

Common situations: UI buttons that call navigateToWorkspace without an id and rely on activeWorkspaceId that has not been set; post-logout redirects; deep-link entry points that bypass workspace selection.
