Chart not found.

Error message

Chart not found.

What it means

Raised as ChartNotFoundError by UnfavoriteChartCommand.validate() when ChartDAO.find_by_id finds no chart for the given id. The unfavorite operation is aborted; the id does not exist in the charts table (deleted, mistyped, or from another environment).

Solutions

1. Verify the chart id via GET /api/v1/chart/{id} before unfavoriting.
2. Treat 404 as success — if the chart is gone, the favorite row is moot.
3. Refresh favorites state in the client before issuing the call.

Example fix

# before
client.delete('/api/v1/chart/999/favorite/')  # 404 ChartNotFoundError

# after
if client.get('/api/v1/chart/999').status_code == 200:
    client.delete('/api/v1/chart/999/favorite/')

if not ChartDAO.find_by_id(chart_id):
    raise ValueError(f'chart {chart_id} does not exist')

from superset.commands.chart.exceptions import ChartNotFoundError
try:
    UnfavoriteChartCommand(chart_id).run()
except ChartNotFoundError:
    pass  # chart gone; favorite is moot

When it happens

Trigger: DELETE /api/v1/chart/{id}/favorite/ with a stale or nonexistent chart id; unfavorite raced with a chart deletion in another session.

Common situations: UI list out of sync after the chart was removed; automated scripts reusing ids across environments.
