Error message

Pull request not found by id: ${pullRequestId}

What it means

OneDev throws this 406 NotAcceptableException when the optional pullRequestId in the workspace creation request does not match any existing pull request. pullRequestService.get(id) returns null for unknown ids.

Solutions

1. Confirm the pull request id exists by fetching it via the pull request REST resource or the OneDev UI URL /<project>/pulls/<id>.
2. Omit pullRequestId from the request if linking a PR is not required.
3. Update automations to resolve the PR id from the PR number dynamically.

Example fix

// before
data.setPullRequestId(Long.valueOf(prNumberText)); // UI number, not id
// after
PullRequest pr = pullRequestService.find(project, prNumber);
if (pr != null) data.setPullRequestId(pr.getId());

if (data.getPullRequestId() != null && pullRequestService.get(data.getPullRequestId()) == null)
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Pull request " + data.getPullRequestId() + " does not exist");

PullRequest findPullRequest(Long id) {
    return id == null ? null : pullRequestService.get(id);
}

try {
    workspaceId = createWorkspace(data);
} catch (NotAcceptableException e) {
    if (e.getMessage().startsWith("Pull request not found")) data.setPullRequestId(null);
    else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: POSTing to the workspace REST resource with data.pullRequestId set to an id of a deleted pull request, a typo'd id, or an id from a different OneDev instance.

Common situations: Scripts referencing PR ids after the PR was deleted; confusing a PR number displayed in the UI with the internal entity id; stale configuration in external CI tooling.
