d.error || 'Clear failed'

Error message

d.error || 'Clear failed'

What it means

Thrown by gallery.js after POST /api/gallery/clear-ai-tags returns JSON with ok !== true. The server responded (r.json() succeeded) but explicitly reported failure, with an optional error string; the client falls back to the generic 'Clear failed' when the body omits it. The catch shows a toast-style showError and re-enables the button in finally.

Solutions

1. Retry the action once the gallery finishes any in-progress indexing (wait for scans to settle).
2. Check backend logs for the error string the server attached to {ok:false}.
3. If the error persists, verify the ai-tags store/table exists and is writable in the backend data directory.
4. As a last resort, re-run the AI tagging pipeline then clear again.

const isClearResult = (d) => d && typeof d.ok === 'boolean';

try { const d = await r.json(); if (!isClearResult(d) || !d.ok) throw new Error(d.error || 'Clear failed'); } catch (e) { uiModule.showError(`Failed to clear AI tags: ${e.message || e}`); } finally { clearAiTagsBtn.disabled = false; }

When it happens

Trigger: Tapping 'Clear AI Tags' in the gallery more-menu while the backend photo index or AI-tag store is unavailable; a partially migrated database where photos exist but ai_tags metadata table is locked or missing; server returns 200 with {ok:false, error:'...'} after an internal partial failure.

Common situations: Photo library scanned but AI tag job never ran or was interrupted; database locked by a concurrent indexing job; backend version mismatch where the endpoint exists but its worker dependency (tag store) failed to initialize.
