Custom view ID is required

Error message

Custom view ID is required

What it means

Thrown by the linear:getCustomView IPC handler when args.viewId is not a non-empty trimmed string. viewId is required to fetch a single Linear custom view. The handler then calls normalizeCustomViewModel (requiring 'issue' or 'project') and normalizeConcreteWorkspaceId, but the viewId check fails first.

Solutions

1. Ensure viewId is a non-empty string before calling linear:getCustomView.
2. Also pass a valid model ('issue'|'project') and concrete workspaceId, or those will throw next.
3. Clear references to deleted custom views.

Example fix

// before
await ipc.call('linear:getCustomView', { viewId, model, workspaceId })

// after
if (typeof viewId !== 'string' || !viewId.trim()) return
await ipc.call('linear:getCustomView', { viewId: viewId.trim(), model, workspaceId })

if (typeof viewId !== 'string' || !viewId.trim()) {
  throw new Error('Linear custom view ID is required')
}

function isNonEmptyId(value: unknown): value is string {
  return typeof value === 'string' && value.trim().length > 0
}

When it happens

Trigger: Invoking linear:getCustomView with viewId undefined, empty, whitespace, or non-string. The renderer tries to load a custom view before its ID is known, or forwards an undefined selection.

Common situations: Opening a custom view detail before the view ID resolves from route/state. A stale/removed custom view reference. Selection state not propagated.
