AFFiNE Cloud server not found

Error message

AFFiNE Cloud server not found

What it means

In the desktop auth-request event handler, thrown when an authentication request names a server (by base URL) that is not present in the servers registry and the AFFiNE Cloud default also cannot be resolved, so sign-in cannot proceed for that server.

Solutions

1. Add the AFFiNE Cloud server to the server list first.
2. Check the server configuration and sign in again.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown in the desktop authentication request handler when neither a server for the requested base URL nor the default server can be resolved (addOrGetServerByBaseUrl and defaultServerService.server both yield nothing) before signing in via magic-link, oauth, or open-app-signin.

Common situations: Sign-in from the desktop app fails because no AFFiNE Cloud server is configured or reachable for the auth redirect. Check the server URL settings and network connectivity, then retry the sign-in.
