No such buildable " "!

Error message

No such buildable "%s"!

What it means

Thrown by 'bin/harbormaster update' when the single supplied object name does not resolve through PhabricatorObjectQuery. Name resolution covers monograms (like B123) and PHIDs; a miss means no object in this Phabricator instance matches the name, so the update cannot proceed.

Solutions

1. Verify the monogram in the web UI or via harbormaster.buildable.search
2. If using a PHID, confirm it starts with PHID-HMBB- and belongs to this instance
3. If the buildable is created asynchronously, retry after it exists

Example fix

# before
$ bin/harbormaster update B9999
# after
$ bin/harbormaster update B123

$buildable = id(new PhabricatorObjectQuery())
  ->setViewer($viewer)
  ->withNames(array($name))
  ->executeOne();
if (!$buildable) {
  // the name does not resolve; fix it before running update
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running 'bin/harbormaster update B9999' where no buildable 9999 exists; a typo in the monogram; a PHID belonging to another instance.

Common situations: Pointing the command at the wrong environment/instance; a race where automation runs before the buildable is created; transcription errors in runbooks.
