No enrollment_id given

Error message

No enrollment_id given

What it means

GradePublishingResultsImporter.add_grade_publishing_result raises ImportError when the enrollment_id argument is blank. Without an enrollment id there is nothing to attach the grade publishing status to.

Solutions

1. Populate enrollment_id in the input CSV for every row
2. Fix column ordering/mapping so the id is passed as the first argument
3. Guard the call: skip rows with blank ids before invoking the importer

Example fix

// before
importer.add_grade_publishing_result(row['enrollment_id'], row['status'])
// after
next if row['enrollment_id'].blank?
importer.add_grade_publishing_result(row['enrollment_id'], row['status'])

next if enrollment_id.blank?
importer.add_grade_publishing_result(enrollment_id, status)

begin
  importer.add_grade_publishing_result(id, status)
rescue SIS::Base::ImportError => e
  logger.warn("Skipping grade publishing result: #{e.message}")
end

When it happens

Trigger: Calling `importer.add_grade_publishing_result(nil_or_empty_id, status, msg)` — e.g. an empty enrollment_id column in the grade publishing results CSV, or passing nil programmatically.

Common situations: CSV with blank/missing enrollment_id column; export join dropped rows so the id column is empty; scripts passing the wrong variable (unset local) as the first argument.
