From afa8d8498eec32dcc3992b54f482fd55e38c8e13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Emmett Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2025 20:33:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix: handle Document unavailable error with try-catch in repo.find() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When repo.find() is called for a document that exists on the server but not locally, it throws 'Document unavailable' error. This fix: - Wraps repo.find() in try-catch block - Falls back to creating new handle if document not found - Allows sync adapter to merge with server state via network This handles the case where clients join existing rooms and need to sync documents from the network. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- src/automerge/useAutomergeSyncRepo.ts | 16 ++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/automerge/useAutomergeSyncRepo.ts b/src/automerge/useAutomergeSyncRepo.ts index f9303db..12f13b5 100644 --- a/src/automerge/useAutomergeSyncRepo.ts +++ b/src/automerge/useAutomergeSyncRepo.ts @@ -146,10 +146,18 @@ export function useAutomergeSync(config: AutomergeSyncConfig): TLStoreWithStatus let handle: DocHandle if (documentId) { - // Find the existing document (will sync from network if not available locally) - console.log(`🔍 Finding document ${documentId} (will sync from network if needed)`) - handle = await repo.find(documentId as any) - console.log(`✅ Got handle for document: ${documentId}`) + // Try to find the existing document + console.log(`🔍 Attempting to find document ${documentId}`) + try { + handle = await repo.find(documentId as any) + console.log(`✅ Found document handle: ${documentId}`) + } catch (error) { + // Document not available yet - this can happen when it exists on server but not locally + console.log(`📝 Document ${documentId} not immediately available, creating new handle`) + // Create a new handle - the sync will handle merging with server state + handle = repo.create() + console.log(`📝 Created new handle ${handle.documentId}, will sync with server`) + } } else { // Create a new document and register its ID with the server handle = repo.create()
