error getting invites for user: %v

Error message

error getting invites for user: %v

What it means

GetAccessibleOrgsForUser wraps a failure of GetPendingInvitesForEmail (the invitation-based access lookup) with this message. It is not itself a SQL statement here — it means the pending-invites query errored for the user's email. Zero pending invites is not an error.

Solutions

1. Check GetPendingInvitesForEmail and its wrapped error for the real SQL cause
2. Run pending migrations for the invites table
3. Align the invite struct db tags with the invites schema
4. Add retry for transient DB failures

Example fix

// before
invites, err := GetPendingInvitesForEmail(user.Email)
if err != nil { return nil, fmt.Errorf("error getting invites for user: %v", err) }
// after
invites, err := GetPendingInvitesForEmail(user.Email)
if err != nil { return nil, fmt.Errorf("error getting invites for user (email=%s): %w", user.Email, err) } // %w preserves the cause for errors.Is/As

// ensure user.Email is non-empty before invite lookup
if user == nil || user.Email == "" { return nil, errors.New("user email required for invite lookup") }

func isInviteLookupError(err error) bool {
    return err != nil && strings.Contains(err.Error(), "error getting invites for user")
}

orgs, err := db.GetAccessibleOrgsForUser(user)
if err != nil {
    if isInviteLookupError(err) {
        log.Printf("invite lookup failed for %s: %v", user.Email, err) // inspect Unwrap for the SQL cause
    }
    return err
}

When it happens

Trigger: GetPendingInvitesForEmail's underlying SELECT on the invites table fails: missing table, DB connection error, or scan mismatch on the invite struct.

Common situations: Invites table missing in an environment with stale migrations; invites schema changed (column renamed) breaking the invite struct scan; DB outage during sign-in.
