Select a company to create secrets

Error message

Select a company to create secrets

What it means

createSecret in RoutineDetail is company-scoped: secrets are created under a specific company via secretsApi.create(companyId, input). If no company is selected (selectedCompanyId is null), the mutation throws this error instead of calling the API. It guards against creating a secret with no owning company.

Solutions

1. Select a company before submitting the create-secret form.
2. Disable the form's submit button (or the whole form) when !selectedCompanyId.
3. Redirect to company selection when this page requires a company and none is chosen.
4. Ensure the company context provider has finished loading before rendering the secrets panel.

Example fix

// before
mutationFn: (input) => {
  if (!selectedCompanyId) throw new Error("Select a company to create secrets");
  return secretsApi.create(selectedCompanyId, input);
},
// after (form-level guard)
<button type="submit" disabled={!selectedCompanyId || createSecret.isPending}>
  Create secret
</button>

if (!selectedCompanyId) {
  toast.info("Select a company to create secrets");
  return;
}

const canCreateSecret = (id: string | null | undefined): id is string => typeof id === "string" && id.length > 0;

try {
  await createSecret.mutateAsync({ name, value });
} catch (e) {
  if (e.message === "Select a company to create secrets") toast.info(e.message);
  else toast.error("Could not create secret");
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling createSecret.mutate({ name, value }) while no company is selected in the company context — e.g. submitting the create-secret form before the company selector is populated.

Common situations: Opening the routine detail page before company selection hydrates; the company selector was never set; a deep link that skips company selection; the form remained enabled while company context was loading.
