The resource does not exist.

Error message

The resource does not exist.

What it means

ResourcesAfterAccessGrantedService.getResource fetches the resource with the folderizable finder scoped to the given user; if the table throws RecordNotFoundException it is rethrown as a NotFoundException 'The resource does not exist.' This happens while adding the resource to the newly-granted users' folder trees after share/access grant. It signals the resource id referenced in the access-grant event no longer resolves for that user.

Solutions

1. Confirm the resource still exists (GET /resources/<id>) before sharing; refresh the UI if it was deleted.
2. Check the resource is not filtered out for the target user (deleted flag / folder relations state).
3. Retry the share operation with the current resource list if a concurrent-delete race is suspected.
4. If reproducible without deletion, inspect FolderizableBehavior finder conditions and the user's permissions on the resource.

const res = await fetch(`/resources/${resourceId}.json`);
if (!res.ok) throw new Error('Resource no longer exists; refresh before sharing');

try { await shareResource(id, acl); } catch (e) { if (e.response?.status === 404) { refreshResourceList(); notifyUser('Resource was deleted'); } else throw e; }

When it happens

Trigger: Sharing a resource (granting group/user access) when the resource has been deleted concurrently, or the resource is soft-filtered out by FolderizableBehavior for that user, or the resource id in the event payload is invalid.

Common situations: Race condition: two users act on the same resource and one deletes it while the other shares it; stale share dialogs in the front-end referencing deleted resources; group edits re-triggering afterAccessGranted with outdated resource ids; folder personal-tree rebuild jobs processing removed resources.
