Path data ended short

Error message

Path data ended short

What it means

For schema fields of type 'enum', the validator checks the incoming value against field.values before any generic type check; a value not in that list is rejected with the full allowed set printed in the message. Enum validation accepts any JS type as candidate, including strings that are simply not members.

Solutions

1. Use one of the listed values — the message prints exactly which are allowed
2. If the new value is legitimate, add it to field.values in the table schema
3. Share a single constant (e.g. const STATUS = [...] as const) between the schema and all callers so the lists cannot drift

Example fix

// before
table.insert({ data: { id: 'a1', status: 'archieved' } }); // typo

// after
table.insert({ data: { id: 'a1', status: 'archived' } });
// or extend the schema: status: { type: 'enum', values: ['active', 'archived'] }

const STATUS = ['active', 'archived'] as const;
// schema: status: { type: 'enum', values: [...STATUS] }

function assertEnum(value: string, values: readonly string[]) {
  if (!values.includes(value)) {
    throw new Error(`Invalid enum value '${value}'. Allowed: ${values.join(', ')}`);
  }
}
assertEnum(payload.status, STATUS);

const isStatus = (v: unknown): v is (typeof STATUS)[number] =>
  STATUS.includes(v as any);

When it happens

Trigger: Inserting status: 'archieved' (typo) against values ['active','archived']; a new enum member added to application code but not to the table schema; case mismatch ('Active' vs 'active'); numeric/string confusion when values are numbers.

Common situations: Schema drift after adding an enum variant; external API data carrying unexpected values; copy-pasted allowed-values lists missing one entry.

Understand the failure class

Background: Invalid enum value errors: "Unknown type", "Invalid scope", "must be one of" — when a string is not on the library's allowed list — this error's family across 23 libraries.
