Chart not found.

Error message

Chart not found.

What it means

Raised as ChartNotFoundError by FavoriteChartCommand.validate() when ChartDAO.find_by_id returns nothing for the given chart id. Favoriting is aborted before any favorite row is written; the id simply does not exist in the charts table.

Solutions

1. Confirm the chart exists via GET /api/v1/chart/{id} before favoriting.
2. Refresh the chart list in the UI and favorite from the current id.
3. Handle 404 as a no-op if the favorite is best-effort.

Example fix

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

# after
resp = client.get('/api/v1/chart/999')
if resp.status_code == 200:
    client.post('/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:
    FavoriteChartCommand(chart_id).run()
except ChartNotFoundError:
    refresh_chart_list()  # stale id in UI

When it happens

Trigger: POST /api/v1/chart/{id}/favorite/ with a nonexistent, already-deleted, or mistyped chart id; favoriting from a stale front-end list after the chart was removed elsewhere.

Common situations: Deep-linked favorites button on an expired chart id; scripts referencing ids from another environment.
