Workspace custom application not found for workspace ${works

Error message

Workspace custom application not found for workspace ${workspaceId}

What it means

Thrown by the 2.23 command that rebuilds core workflow rows and links them via coreWorkflowId. The command opens a queryRunner, runs raw SQL to fetch databaseSchema and workspaceCustomApplicationId from core.workspace. If workspaceCustomApplicationId is null or the workspace row is absent, the command throws because it needs the application ID to INSERT core workflow rows.

Solutions

1. Verify the workspace row: SELECT id, "workspaceCustomApplicationId" FROM core."workspace" WHERE id = $workspaceId
2. If workspaceCustomApplicationId is null, restore it from the application table or re-provision the workspace
3. Exclude deleted/suspended workspaces from the upgrade iterator
4. Check provisioning logs for the workspace

Example fix

// before: throws if workspaceCustomApplicationId is null
if (!isDefined(workspace?.workspaceCustomApplicationId)) {
  throw new Error(`Workspace custom application not found for workspace ${workspaceId}`);
}

// after: skip gracefully
if (!isDefined(workspace?.workspaceCustomApplicationId)) {
  this.logger.warn(`Workspace ${workspaceId} has no custom application, skipping core link backfill`);
  return;
}

// Before running the upgrade, verify the workspace has a custom application
const result = await dataSource.query(
  `SELECT id, "workspaceCustomApplicationId" FROM core."workspace" WHERE id = $1`,
  [workspaceId],
);

if (!result[0] || !result[0].workspaceCustomApplicationId) {
  console.error(`Workspace ${workspaceId} has no custom application — skip or re-provision`);
}

import { isDefined } from 'twenty-shared/utils';

const hasCustomApplication = (
  workspace: { workspaceCustomApplicationId: string | null } | undefined,
): workspace is { workspaceCustomApplicationId: string } =>
  isDefined(workspace) && isDefined(workspace.workspaceCustomApplicationId);

When it happens

Trigger: The workspaceId has no row in core.workspace, or the row's workspaceCustomApplicationId is null. Workspace provisioning never created the custom application, or it was removed.

Common situations: Incomplete workspace provisioning; workspace in a deleted/suspended state; manual DB modification; testing against a non-existent workspace ID.
