this.$t('message.group_exists')

Error message

this.$t('message.group_exists')

What it means

storage.addGroup returns false when an existing group has exactly the same name (groups.some(group => group.name === name) at src/storage.js:21); handleNewGroup maps that falsy return to this toast and skips loadGroups/groupId assignment. Uniqueness is exact, case-sensitive string equality over groups persisted in localStorage.

Solutions

1. Choose a different group name
2. Rename or delete the existing group from the Connections page first, then re-add
3. Pre-check with storage.getGroups().some(g => g.name === name) and surface inline feedback before submit

Example fix

// before
const group = storage.addGroup(name);
if (!group) {
  return this.$message.error(this.$t('message.group_exists'));
}

// after - pre-check for inline feedback before even opening submit
const name = this.newGroupName.trim();
if (storage.getGroups().some(g => g.name === name)) {
  return this.$message.warning(`group "${name}" already exists`);
}

// pre-check before calling storage.addGroup
import storage from '@/storage.js';

function groupExists(name) {
  return storage.getGroups().some(g => g.name === name);
}

const name = raw.trim();
if (groupExists(name)) {
  highlightExistingGroup(name);
  return;
}
const group = storage.addGroup(name);

When it happens

Trigger: Submitting a group name that matches an existing one character-for-character (e.g. adding 'prod' when 'prod' exists). 'Prod' vs 'prod' are different names and both are allowed.

Common situations: Re-adding a group after reinstalling the app or re-importing connections; forgetting a group was created earlier in another connection dialog; expecting case-insensitive uniqueness.
