await res.text()

Error message

await res.text()

What it means

Thrown by _deleteFile in rag.js when DELETE /api/personal/file?filepath=... returns non-ok; the raw response text becomes the Error message. Because the body is not JSON-parsed, server detail strings or full HTML error pages can appear verbatim in the alert('Failed to delete file: ' + e.message).

Solutions

1. Refresh the personal docs list (loadPersonalDocs) and retry delete on the current entry.
2. Check the response text shown in the alert — it names the server-side reason.
3. If the store is mid-index, wait for ingestion to finish then delete.
4. For stubborn entries, re-run the store's cleanup/reindex routine server-side.

Example fix

// before
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(await res.text());

// after
if (!res.ok) {
  const body = await res.json().catch(() => null);
  throw new Error(body?.detail || `HTTP ${res.status}`);
}

if (!filepath || filepath.includes('..')) { toast('Invalid file path'); return; }

try { if (!res.ok) { const b = await res.json().catch(() => null); throw new Error(b?.detail || `HTTP ${res.status}`); } await loadPersonalDocs(); } catch (e) { alert('Failed to delete file: ' + e.message); }

When it happens

Trigger: Removing a RAG document whose file was already deleted from disk (404/500 with traceback text); filepath query param encoding a path outside the personal docs root being rejected; vector store still indexing the doc so delete is refused.

Common situations: Files removed manually on disk while indexed in the vector store; concurrent uploads/deletes racing; path traversal protection rejecting legitimately odd filenames.
