BrexItem::AccountFlow::NoApiTokenError

Error message

BrexItem::AccountFlow::NoApiTokenError

What it means

Raised by BrexItem::AccountFlow::Setup#import_accounts_from_api_if_needed when the Brex item has no usable API token. credentials_configured? (app/models/brex_item.rb:160) is true only when token.to_s.strip.present?, so a nil, empty, or whitespace-only token triggers this guard before any Brex API call is made. It is the module's way of refusing an account import on an uncredentialed item.

Solutions

  1. Set a non-blank token on the item (brex_item.update!(token: <Brex API token>)) and retry the import
  2. Guard the call: return early unless brex_item&.credentials_configured? before invoking import_accounts_from_api_if_needed
  3. If driving the flow through AccountFlow public methods, rely on the existing NoApiTokenError rescues (app/models/brex_item/account_flow.rb:80,116,134,280) which convert it to a 'no credentials' status instead of an exception

Example fix

// before
flow.import_accounts_from_api_if_needed # raises BrexItem::AccountFlow::NoApiTokenError

// after
return unless brex_item&.credentials_configured?

flow.import_accounts_from_api_if_needed
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

brex_item&.credentials_configured? # => false means import_accounts_from_api_if_needed will raise NoApiTokenError

Try / catch

rescue BrexItem::AccountFlow::NoApiTokenError and treat as a setup-required state (prompt for the Brex token), not as a sync failure

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Calling import_accounts_from_api_if_needed (directly or via an AccountFlow wrapper) on a BrexItem whose token attribute is blank: a newly created item where the token was never entered, a token that normalization (normalize_token strips whitespace) reduced to empty, or a record restored without its token column.

Common situations: Setup flows that kick off an import before credentials are saved; console/test runs with factory records lacking tokens; environments where the token did not survive a data copy; token revoked and field cleared while scheduled flows still run.
