Target node not found

Error message

Target node not found

What it means

indexAt throws when an explicit targetId is given but it is not present among the currently sorted pinned collections, so a fractional index relative to the target cannot be computed — the target was unpinned or the id is invalid.

Solutions

1. Ensure the target node exists before pinning; refresh the collection tree.
2. Remove stale pinned entries referencing deleted nodes.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown in pinned-collection indexAt when the target collection id is not found among the sorted pinned collections.

Common situations: Occurs when reordering a pinned collection that is no longer pinned or whose list has changed; refresh the pinned list before moving items.
