no org selected

Error message

no org selected

What it means

After resolveOrgAuth succeeds in createAccount, a nil org with a nil error means no organization was selected; the code deliberately returns "no org selected". Unlike error 27 this is a control-flow failure: org resolution completed but produced no org.

Solutions

1. Ensure the account belongs to at least one org (create one in the web console or via server seed).
2. Retry account creation so the server provisions a default org.
3. For self-hosted servers, configure a default org on startup.
4. Then re-run sign-in to attach the org to the session.

Example fix

// before
orgs = []  # server returned no orgs -> "no org selected"
// after
# server: seed a default org for new accounts
POST /admin/orgs {"name": "Default"}
myapp auth login

// After account creation, guard before using the resolved org:
if org == nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("no org selected: provision an org before finishing signup")
}

func orgSelected(org *shared.Org) bool {
    return org != nil && org.Id != ""
}
// usage: if !orgSelected(org) { provisionOrg(); return retrySignIn() }

if err := createAccount(email, pin, host, false); err != nil {
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "no org selected") {
        fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "Account created but no org is attached; create an org in the console, then sign in:", err)
    }
    return err
}

When it happens

Trigger: resolveOrgAuth returns (nil, nil) — the org list resolved to no selection (empty orgs list, or the user/prompt path yielding no org without erroring).

Common situations: Brand-new cloud account with zero organizations, server returning an empty Orgs array, or local-mode edge cases where no org is auto-created.
