[omnidisc] device list failed

Error message

[omnidisc] device list failed

What it means

Logged by refreshDevices() when the `omnidisc_voice_devices` IPC command fails. The store sets devicesLoading back to false in the finally block but leaves the previous (possibly empty) devices list, so the device picker shows stale data. Non-fatal.

Solutions

1. Check errorText(e) for the OS-level enumeration error.
2. Verify an audio server (PulseAudio/PipeWire/CoreAudio) is running and devices exist.
3. Confirm `omnidisc_voice_devices` is registered in the Tauri invoke handler.
4. Retry the enumeration; transient device hotplug can cause failures.
5. Keep showing cached device list and offer a manual refresh button when this fails.

if (!isTauri()) return; // skip device enumeration outside the webview

function isTauri(): boolean {
  return typeof window !== "undefined" && "__TAURI_INTERNALS__" in window;
}

try {
  devices = await invoke<AudioDevices>("omnidisc_voice_devices");
} catch (e) {
  console.warn("[omnidisc] device list failed", errorText(e));
  // keep stale devices list; offer manual refresh
} finally {
  devicesLoading = false;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling refreshDevices() when enumerating audio devices on the backend fails: no audio subsystem available, OS device enumeration error, or command not registered in Tauri.

Common situations: Running on a machine/CI/container with no audio devices; audio driver crash; headless Linux without PulseAudio/PipeWire; browser dev mode without Tauri IPC.
