Error message

error getting branches: %v

What it means

In ListPlansRunningHandler's second goroutine, db.ListBranchesForPlans(auth.OrgId, planIds) failed. The error is wrapped as 'error getting branches' and sent to errCh, resulting in HTTP 500. The DB layer returned an error executing the branch lookup for the org's plans.

Solutions

1. Inspect the wrapped cause to identify the DB-level failure.
2. Confirm DB connectivity and credentials for the server process.
3. Verify the branches schema/migration is applied and orgId/planIds values are valid.
4. Check Postgres logs for the failing statement.

Example fix

// before
branches, err = db.ListBranchesForPlans(auth.OrgId, planIds)
// after
branches, err = db.ListBranchesForPlans(auth.OrgId, planIds)
if err != nil {
    log.Printf("ListBranchesForPlans org=%s plans=%v: %v", auth.OrgId, planIds, err)
}

// Go
if auth.OrgId == "" {
    http.Error(w, "missing org id", http.StatusBadRequest)
    return
}

func branchesQueryable(orgId string, planIds []string) bool { return orgId != "" && len(planIds) > 0 }

branches, err := db.ListBranchesForPlans(auth.OrgId, planIds)
if err != nil {
    log.Printf("branches query failed: %v", err)
    http.Error(w, "failed to load branches", http.StatusInternalServerError)
    return
}

When it happens

Trigger: The ListBranchesForPlans query fails: DB unreachable, connection pool exhausted, invalid org ID, empty planIds producing a malformed SQL IN clause, or schema mismatch in the branches table.

Common situations: Database downtime or credential rotation; branches migration missing in the target environment; plan IDs referencing deleted rows under strict FK/permissions.
