Failed to create doc

Error message

Failed to create doc

What it means

createDoc throws when store.createDoc succeeds but getBlockSuiteDoc returns null for the fresh id, meaning the newly created doc could not be materialized in the BlockSuite store — an internal consistency failure.

Solutions

1. Retry doc creation; ensure the workspace is available.
2. Check storage quota and permissions.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown by createDoc when store.createDoc succeeded but store.getBlockSuiteDoc for the new id returns null, so the newly created doc cannot be retrieved for initialization.

Common situations: Doc creation fails right after the record is made because the doc store cannot be fetched, usually a transient storage engine issue. Retry creating the doc; if it persists, check workspace storage health.
