rheinmetall: cannot resolve vacancies URL for ${entry.name}

Error message

rheinmetall: cannot resolve vacancies URL for ${entry.name}

What it means

fetch() throws when resolveListUrl(entry) returns null. resolveListUrl reads entry.api || entry.careers_url, parses it, and requires the host to be exactly 'rheinmetall.com' or end with '.rheinmetall.com'; it then normalizes the path to /career/vacancies or /en/career/vacancies. A non-rheinmetall host, an unparseable URL, or a missing URL field all return null.

Solutions

1. Ensure entry.api or entry.careers_url is a valid https://*.rheinmetall.com URL (e.g. https://www.rheinmetall.com/en/career/vacancies).
2. Confirm the host is rheinmetall.com or a direct subdomain — third-party hosted boards will not resolve.
3. Call detect(entry) first; it returns null when resolveListUrl cannot produce a URL.
4. Check the config for a typo'd hostname (rheinmetal.com without the double-l).

Example fix

# before
- name: Rheinmetall
  provider: rheinmetall
# after
- name: Rheinmetall
  provider: rheinmetall
  api: https://www.rheinmetall.com/en/career/vacancies

function isRheinmetallUrl(raw) {
  try {
    const u = new URL(raw);
    const h = u.host.toLowerCase();
    return h === 'rheinmetall.com' || h.endsWith('.rheinmetall.com');
  } catch { return false; }
}
if (!isRheinmetallUrl(entry.api || entry.careers_url || '')) {
  console.warn(`skip ${entry.name}: not a *.rheinmetall.com URL`);
}

null

try {
  await provider.fetch(entry, ctx);
} catch (e) {
  if (/cannot resolve vacancies URL/.test(e.message)) {
    console.warn(`[skip] ${entry.name}: needs a rheinmetall.com api/careers_url`);
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: entry.api and entry.careers_url are both missing/empty; the URL host is not rheinmetall.com or a subdomain (e.g. a third-party ATS URL); the URL string is malformed and throws inside new URL().

Common situations: A portals.yml row for a Rheinmetall subsidiary points at a non-rheinmetall.com careers domain; the entry was misclassified; the URL field was dropped during data migration.
