🚨 Common Issues & Solutions

Network Connectivity Issues

Error: fetch failed sending request or ECONNREFUSED

Diagnosis: Run npm run test:gemini to check Gemini API connectivity

Solutions:

Check firewall settings - ensure outbound HTTPS (443) is allowed
Verify proxy configuration if behind corporate firewall
Try different network (e.g., mobile hotspot) to isolate network issues
Check if your ISP or organization blocks Google AI services

Authentication Issues

Error: 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden

Diagnosis:

npm run test:config   # Check if API keys are loaded
npm run test:gemini   # Test Gemini authentication
npm run test:slack    # Test Slack authentication

Solutions:

Gemini API: Verify GEMINI_API_KEY in .env file
- Get a new key from Google AI Studio
- Ensure the key hasn't expired or been revoked
Vertex AI: Run gcloud auth application-default login
GitHub: Check GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN permissions
Slack: Verify SLACK_BOT_TOKEN and bot permissions

Team Discovery Issues

Error: Team not found or No team members found

Diagnosis: Run npm run test:prs to test team discovery

Solutions:

Verify GITHUB_TEAM_NAME matches exactly (case-sensitive)
Ensure your GitHub token has read:org permissions
Check that the team exists in the specified organization
Verify you have access to view team membership

Slack Delivery Issues

Error: Channel not found or Message posting failed

Diagnosis:

npm run test:slack          # Test connection
npm run test:slack-message  # Test message posting

Solutions:

Verify SLACK_CHANNEL_ID (not channel name)
Ensure bot is added to the target channel
Check bot permissions include chat:write
Verify SLACK_TEAM_ID matches your workspace

🔍 Enhanced Error Diagnostics

The tool now provides detailed error analysis with specific recommendations:

Network Error Example

🔌 Network Issue: Unable to connect to Gemini API. This could be due to:
• Firewall or proxy blocking requests
• Network connectivity issues
• Gemini API service temporarily unavailable
• DNS resolution problems

Suggestion: Check network connectivity and firewall settings

Authentication Error Example

🔑 Authentication Issue: Problem with Gemini API credentials:
• Using Vertex AI: No
• API Key configured: Yes
