# not found

Error message

#{e.model} not found

What it means

Within SetOverrideStatus, any ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound raised while loading the enrollment, score, or custom grade status is re-raised as "#{e.model} not found", naming the missing model class. It also rescues RecordInvalid into validation errors separately.

Solutions

1. Pre-verify each ID: Enrollment.find_by(id: ...), CustomGradeStatus.find_by(id: ...) before calling
2. Refresh the custom grade status list from the course before applying
3. Check whether the GraphQL global ID needs conversion to a local numeric id

Example fix

// before
customGradeStatus(enrollmentId: 12, customGradeStatusId: 77)
// after
status = CustomGradeStatus.find_by(id: 77)
if status
  customGradeStatus(enrollmentId: 12, customGradeStatusId: 77)
else
  Rails.logger.warn("custom grade status 77 missing")
end

// Ruby
ok = Enrollment.find_by(id: enrollment_id) && CustomGradeStatus.find_by(id: status_id)

// Ruby
status = CustomGradeStatus.find_by(id: custom_grade_status_id)
proceed = status.is_a?(CustomGradeStatus)

// Ruby
begin
  mutation
rescue GraphQL::ExecutionError => e
  # e.message like "Enrollment not found" / "CustomGradeStatus not found"
  refresh_missing_record(e.message)
end

When it happens

Trigger: Passing a nonexistent enrollment_id, a custom_grade_status_id that does not exist (CustomGradeStatus.find fails), or a score lookup miss for the enrollment/grading period pair.

Common situations: Custom grade status deleted by an admin after the UI loaded; enrollment id from a different course; typing a global vs local ID mismatch in GraphQL relay-style ID fields.
