No shipping method found for order ${input.order_id} in orde

Error message

No shipping method found for order ${input.order_id} in order change ${orderChange.id}

What it means

validateDraftOrderShippingMethodActionStep looks for input.action_id among the order change's actions; if absent, the shipping-method action you target does not exist in the pending change.

Solutions

1. Re-fetch the pending order change and its actions, use a current SHIPPING_ADD action id
2. Verify the order change status is still pending
3. Refresh client state after confirm operations

Example fix

// before
await deleteDraftOrderShippingMethodWorkflow(container).run({ input: { order_id, action_id: staleId } })

// after
const changes = await query.graph({ entity: "order_change", filters: { order_id }, fields: ["status", "actions.*"] })
const action = changes.data[0]?.actions.find((a) => a.action === "SHIPPING_ADD")
if (action) {
  await deleteDraftOrderShippingMethodWorkflow(container).run({ input: { order_id, action_id: action.id } })
}

const changes = await query.graph({ entity: "order_change", filters: { order_id }, fields: ["actions.id", "actions.action"] })
const exists = changes.data[0]?.actions.some((a) => a.id === action_id && a.action === "SHIPPING_ADD")

try { await workflow(scope).run({ input }) } catch (e) { if (/No shipping method found for order .* in order change/.test(e.message)) { /* refetch actions */ } throw e }

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the draft-order remove/update shipping method action workflow with an action_id not present on the current pending order change.

Common situations: Change already confirmed; stale action id from an earlier UI load; concurrent edit; wrong order's change.
