No checkout attribute value found with the specified id

Error message

No checkout attribute value found with the specified id

What it means

Thrown by CheckoutAttributeController.ValueDelete (permission: CHECKOUT_ATTRIBUTES_CREATE_EDIT_DELETE). It fetches the checkout attribute value by id and throws ArgumentException if missing — the value was already deleted or the id is invalid.

Solutions

  1. Refresh the value grid and delete only rows that still appear.
  2. Make ValueDelete idempotent (return success when the row is already gone).
  3. Disable the delete control after first click and handle missing-row responses.

Example fix

// before
var checkoutAttributeValue = await _checkoutAttributeService.GetAttributeValueByIdAsync(id)
    ?? throw new ArgumentException("No checkout attribute value found with the specified id", nameof(id));

// after
var checkoutAttributeValue = await _checkoutAttributeService.GetAttributeValueByIdAsync(id);
if (checkoutAttributeValue == null)
    return new NullJsonResult();
Defensive patterns

Strategy: fallback

Validate before calling

// Idempotent checkout attribute value delete.
var value = await _checkoutAttributeService.GetAttributeValueByIdAsync(id);
if (value == null) return new NullJsonResult();

Type guard

static bool CheckoutAttributeValueExists(CheckoutAttributeValue v) => v is not null;

Try / catch

try { /* ValueDelete body */ }
catch (ArgumentException ex) when (ex.ParamName == nameof(id))
{
    return new NullJsonResult();
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: POST ValueDelete with an id absent from the DB — double delete, stale grid, or another admin removed the value first.

Common situations: Re-clicking delete on an already-removed value; concurrent edits to checkout attribute values; retention cleanup removing the row.
