error prompting no orgs: %v

Error message

error prompting no orgs: %v

What it means

resolveOrgAuth handles the case where the account has zero orgs: in local mode it auto-creates an org, otherwise it runs promptNoOrgs (interactive confirm). Any failure from that path is wrapped as this error. It surfaces when the authenticated user has no org access at all.

Solutions

1. Run the command in an interactive terminal so the confirm prompt can read stdin
2. Ask the org admin to invite your user or enable email-domain access, then re-run
3. Create an org in advance (web UI or local-mode auto-creation) so orgs is non-empty
4. Check the wrapped inner error — if it's an API error, verify server-side org creation permissions

Example fix

// before
CI run: plandex command -> ConfirmYesNo reads EOF -> error prompting no orgs
// after
# pre-create org interactively once, or run locally with an org attached
plandex sign in && plandex orgs # then run command in CI

orgs, err := auth.ListOrgsSafe() // or apiClient.ListOrgs()
if err == nil && len(orgs) == 0 && !isTTY(os.Stdin) {
	return fmt.Errorf("no orgs and no TTY to prompt; create/join an org first")
}

func canPromptNoOrgs(interactive bool) bool { return interactive && term.IsTerminal(os.Stdin.Fd()) }

org, err := resolveOrgAuth(orgs, isLocalMode)
if err != nil {
	if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "prompting no orgs") {
		// non-interactive or API failure: instruct user to join/create an org
		fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "Join or create an org first (ask an admin or use local mode).", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}
	return err
}

When it happens

Trigger: ListOrgs returns an empty list, isLocalMode is false, and promptNoOrgs fails — the ConfirmYesNo prompt errors (non-interactive terminal / EOF) or createOrg(false) inside promptNoOrgs fails (empty org name input, auto-add-users prompt failure, or CreateOrg API error).

Common situations: Running the CLI in CI or a non-TTY environment where the yes/no prompt can't read input; new account with no org membership; admin hasn't granted domain access; org creation rejected server-side (name conflict, permission).
