${e.message} (rethrown as ArgumentError)

Error message

${e.message} (rethrown as ArgumentError)

What it means

task-status validates --taskId with assertMessageIdShape and, on failure, rethrows the underlying message wrapped in an ArgumentError. The '(rethrown as ArgumentError)' suffix marks that the original shape-validation error was converted so callers can catch it uniformly as an argument error rather than an internal validation error.

Solutions

1. Copy the full task id exactly as shown by task-list output and re-run
2. Do not use the numeric taskNumber — fetch the id via `slock task-get --channel <ch> --number <n>`
3. Quote the argument in shell to avoid splitting/whitespace loss: --taskId "$ID"
4. Check the id against the expected shape (length/charset) before invoking

Example fix

// before
await cli('slock', 'task-status', '--taskId', '42'); // number, not id
// after
await cli('slock', 'task-status', '--taskId', 'a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890');

const taskId = String(process.env.TASK_ID ?? '').trim();
if (!/^[0-9a-f-]{16,}$/i.test(taskId)) {
  throw new Error(`--taskId must be a full task id, got: "${taskId}"`);
}

const looksLikeTaskId = (v) => typeof v === 'string' && v.trim().length >= 16 && !/^\d+$/.test(v.trim());

try {
  await setTaskStatus(taskId, status);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.name === 'ArgumentError' && /rethrown as ArgumentError/.test(e.message)) {
    // fetch the correct id via task-get before retrying
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running `slock task-status --taskId <value>` where value fails assertMessageIdShape — empty string, wrong length, non-id characters, or a taskNumber/integer passed where the message-id shape (uuid-like) is expected.

Common situations: Passing the numeric taskNumber instead of the task id; truncated copy-paste of the id; whitespace or quotes captured in the shell argument; unset variable yielding ''.}
