Unable to load Calendar import with ID "%s".

Error message

Unable to load Calendar import with ID "%s".

What it means

Thrown by bin/calendar import-reload when one of the given IDs does not resolve to a Calendar import visible to the acting viewer (loaded via PhabricatorCalendarImportQuery). The whole command aborts before reloading anything, even if other IDs were valid.

Solutions

1. Verify each ID in Calendar -> Imports (the URI /calendar/import/ lists them; the ID is the number in /import/NN).
2. Run the command as an administrator or the import owner if visibility policies block loading.
3. Drop the offending ID and re-run with only the IDs that load.

// Pre-flight the IDs with the same query the workflow uses:
$imports = id(new PhabricatorCalendarImportQuery())
  ->setViewer($this->getViewer())
  ->withIDs($ids)
  ->execute();
$loadable = mpull($imports, 'getID');
$missing = array_diff($ids, $loadable);
if ($missing) {
  fwrite(STDERR, 'Skipping unloadable import IDs: '.implode(', ', $missing)."\n");
}
$ids = $loadable; // proceed only with what actually loads

try {
  $workflow->execute($args);
} catch (PhutilArgumentUsageException $ex) {
  // usually a typo'd or policy-hidden ID; print and strip the bad ID
  fwrite(STDERR, $ex->getMessage()."\n");
  exit(1);
}

When it happens

Trigger: 'bin/calendar import-reload 999999' (nonexistent ID); typo'd ID; import deleted; import not visible to the user running the command (policy filtering); passing an event ID instead of an import ID.

Common situations: Copy-pasting the event ID from a URL (/E123) instead of the import ID; imports owned by another user while running the CLI as a non-admin; stale IDs after imports were deleted.
