Error message

not found

What it means

SetOverrideScore wraps its resolve in a rescue of ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound and re-raises a bare "not found" ExecutionError. Any required record (enrollment, user, grading period, score) missing during lookup results in this error.

Solutions

1. Verify enrollment existence first: Enrollment.active.where(id: enrollment_id).exists?
2. Confirm the enrollment has a Score for the given grading period (or pass the current-grade score lookup)
3. Refresh IDs from the course enrollments API before mutating

Example fix

// before
setOverrideScore(enrollmentId: 999, overrideScore: 88)
// after
if Enrollment.active.where(id: 999).exists?
  setOverrideScore(enrollmentId: 999, overrideScore: 88)
end

// Ruby
enrollment = Enrollment.active.find_by(id: enrollment_id)
proceed = enrollment.present?

// Ruby
begin
  mutation
rescue GraphQL::ExecutionError => e
  refresh_enrollment_ids if e.message == "not found"
end

When it happens

Trigger: Calling setOverrideScore with an enrollment_id (or grading_period_id) that does not exist, or a score record absent for the enrollment/grading-period combination.

Common situations: Stale enrollment id after a student was concluded/deleted and re-enrolled (new id); grading period id from a previous term; client cached IDs across migrations or course copies.
