No grade_publishing_status given for enrollment #

Error message

No grade_publishing_status given for enrollment #{enrollment_id}

What it means

Guard in SIS::GradePublishingResultsImporter::Work#add_grade_publishing_result: a grade publishing results row omits grade_publishing_status for the given enrollment_id, so ImportError is raised for that import row.

Solutions

1. Ensure every CSV row has a grade_publishing_status value ('published' or 'error')
2. Fix the status column mapping/order of arguments in the call
3. Default or derive a status upstream when the source omits it, rather than passing blank

Example fix

// before
importer.add_grade_publishing_result(id, row['grade_publishing_status'])
// after
status = row['grade_publishing_status'].presence || 'error'
importer.add_grade_publishing_result(id, status)

raise 'missing status' if grade_publishing_status.blank?
importer.add_grade_publishing_result(enrollment_id, grade_publishing_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 `add_grade_publishing_result(enrollment_id, nil_or_empty, msg)`; grade publishing results CSV rows with an empty status column while enrollment_id is present.

Common situations: Export tooling omits the status for rows that never reached publishing; wrong header mapping so status parses as nil; script passes nil literal for the second argument.
