AI editor action not found

Error message

AI editor action not found

What it means

SaveAIEditorAction performs an update when the action has an ID: it searches the stored action list for a matching ID and replaces it. If no stored action has that ID, the update target is missing and this error is returned instead of silently creating a duplicate.

Solutions

1. Re-fetch the current action list (getAIEditorActions) and retry with a live ID
2. If the action was intentionally new, omit the ID to create it instead of updating
3. Confirm the kernel is running against the workspace that contains the action

Example fix

// before
await fetchPost('/api/ai/saveAIEditorAction', {id: staleID, name: 'X', action: 'Y'})
// after
const {data} = await fetchPost('/api/ai/getAIEditorActions', {})
if (data.actions.some(a => a.id === staleID)) {
    await fetchPost('/api/ai/saveAIEditorAction', {id: staleID, name: 'X', action: 'Y'})
}

const exists = (await fetchPost('/api/ai/getAIEditorActions', {})).data.actions.some(a => a.id === id); if (!exists) { /* create without id instead */ }

try { await saveAction({id, ...}) } catch (e) { if (e.message === 'AI editor action not found') { await refreshActions(); /* recreate or surface conflict */ } }

When it happens

Trigger: Calling SaveAIEditorAction with an ID that is syntactically valid but does not exist in the persisted actions list (action deleted elsewhere, stale client cache, wrong workspace).

Common situations: Two clients/sessions where one deleted the action; client retrying an update after the action was removed; pointing the kernel at a different workspace than the one holding the action.
