fix: conditional use of useQuery in AgentRoute component to prevent runtime errors.

[carlos-cne]

Relates to

General improvement; no specific issue linked.

Risks

Low
This change is isolated to the AgentRoute component. It prevents runtime errors without altering existing functionality or introducing new features.

Background

What does this PR do?

This PR fixes an issue in the AgentRoute component where the useQuery hook was being called conditionally, leading to potential runtime errors. The fix uses the enabled property from react-query to ensure that the query executes only when the agentId is valid, aligning with React’s rules of hooks.

What kind of change is this?

Bug fix (non-breaking change which resolves an issue).

Documentation changes needed?

My changes do not require a change to the project documentation.

Testing

Where should a reviewer start?

The AgentRoute component located at client/src/routes/overview.tsx

Detailed testing steps

1.	Navigate to the route where the AgentRoute component is rendered.
2.	Provide valid and invalid agentId values in the route’s parameters.
3.	Verify that:
When agentId is invalid or missing, no query is executed, and the UI displays “No data.”
When agentId is valid, the query executes as expected, and the Overview component is rendered with the correct data.

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

12-12: Consider throwing an error instead of using an empty string fallback.

The empty string fallback for undefined agentId doesn't match the UUID type and could mask errors.

-        queryFn: () => apiClient.getAgent(agentId ?? ""),
+        queryFn: () => {
+            if (!agentId) throw new Error("Agent ID is required");
+            return apiClient.getAgent(agentId);
+        },

14-14: Great use of the enabled flag! 👍

Using enabled is the correct way to conditionally execute queries while respecting React hooks rules.

17-18: Proper placement of the agentId check.

Moving the check after query definition ensures hooks are always called in the same order.

[carlos-cne]

@coderabbitai, while the suggestion to throw an error inside the queryFn is valid, in this specific context it would be redundant and might introduce unnecessary noise in the console. The fallback to an empty string ("") is merely a safeguard, but since the enabled property already prevents invalid queries from being executed, there’s no risk of making a faulty API call. Keeping the current implementation aligns better with our application’s error-handling pattern, which centralizes error management via the useQuery hook.

[coderabbitai]

@carlos-cne: thank you for the clarification. i understand now that the current implementation is more aligned with the application's centralized error handling pattern.

learning: in react components using react-query, error handling should be centralized via the usequery hook rather than throwing errors in queryfn. the enabled property should be used to prevent invalid queries from executing, making additional error checks in queryfn redundant.
