org not found

Error message

org not found

What it means

GetOrg maps sql.ErrNoRows from the single-row SELECT on orgs to the exact message 'org not found'. This is the deliberate no-result signal: the orgId simply has no row in orgs. Any other query error takes the separate 'error getting org' path.

Solutions

1. Verify the orgId exists: SELECT id FROM orgs WHERE id = '<id>' in the target environment
2. Return 404 to the client and have it refresh its org list
3. Clean up dangling references (invites, memberships) when orgs are deleted
4. Check environment/config — the id may belong to staging while querying prod

Example fix

// before
org, err := db.GetOrg(orgId)
if err != nil { return err }
// after
org, err := db.GetOrg(orgId)
if err != nil {
    if err.Error() == "org not found" { http.Error(w, "org not found", http.StatusNotFound); return }
    return err
}

var exists bool
err := Conn.Get(&exists, "SELECT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM orgs WHERE id = $1)", orgId)
if err == nil && !exists { http.Error(w, "org not found", http.StatusNotFound); return }

func isOrgNotFound(err error) bool { return err != nil && err.Error() == "org not found" }

org, err := db.GetOrg(orgId)
if err != nil {
    if isOrgNotFound(err) { http.Error(w, "org not found", http.StatusNotFound); return }
    http.Error(w, "internal error", http.StatusInternalServerError)
    return
}

When it happens

Trigger: Caller passes an orgId that doesn't exist (typo, wrong environment, deleted org) to GetOrg via handlers like InviteUserHandler or getApiOrg; org row deleted while a user held a stale reference (e.g. from an invite).

Common situations: Client cached an orgId from another environment (staging vs prod); org deleted between listing and detail fetch; user manually editing an org id in an API call; invite pointing at a purged org.
