no such issue ID

Error message

no such issue ID %s

What it means

SubstractByIDs filters the manager's verifier/verifierRepairer set down to those whose IssueID matches the provided --id values. If any requested ID does not match a registered issue, it returns this error, preventing a silent no-op run.

Solutions

1. List registered issue IDs (run verify without --id, check VerifiersIDs/VerifierRepairersIDs output) and use an exact match
2. Correct typos in --id values
3. Confirm the issue ID is supported by your Thanos version

Example fix

// before
thanos verify --id=01ARZ3NDEKTSV4RRFFQ69G5FAV
// after
thanos verify --id=index-
// or verify the ID exists in m.vs before subtracting

ids := registry.VerifiersIDs()
ids = append(ids, registry.VerifierRepairersIDs()...)
for _, want := range requestedIDs {
	if !slices.Contains(ids, want) { return fmt.Errorf("unknown issue id %q; valid: %v", want, ids) }
}

if err := manager.SubstractByIDs(requested); err != nil {
	// fall back to all registered issues or print valid IDs
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running thanos verify --id=<ULID-or-name> where the given ID is not among the registered Verifiers/VerifierRepairers' IssueIDs (typo, wrong ULID, verifier not compiled/registered).

Common situations: Typo or stale block ID from an old run; using a block ULID instead of an issue ID (e.g. "duplicated-block" or "index-"); running a build that lacks certain verifiers.

Understand the failure class

Background: "Must be a positive integer", "Invalid value", "Unsupported": the invalid-argument-value error family, when a library rejects the value you pass — this error's family across 35 libraries.
