no such league

Error message

no such league

What it means

getLeague looks up the league string in the package-level leagueID map and returns the sentinel error "no such league" when the key is absent. It is the underlying cause of error [67]; NewWidget wraps it contextually. The lookup is exact-match, case-sensitive.

Solutions

1. Print/list the leagueID map keys and pick an exact match.
2. Normalize input before lookup: strings.TrimSpace and canonical casing.
3. Return the map's available keys in the error message to make misconfiguration self-diagnosing.
4. Add the missing league to leagueID if it should be supported.

Example fix

// before
return l, fmt.Errorf("no such league")
// after
keys := make([]string, 0, len(leagueID))
for k := range leagueID {
	keys = append(keys, k)
}
return l, fmt.Errorf("no such league %q; supported: %v", league, keys)

league = strings.ToUpper(strings.TrimSpace(league))
if _, ok := leagueID[league]; !ok {
	return fmt.Errorf("unknown league %q", league)
}

func leagueExists(league string) bool {
	_, ok := leagueID[strings.TrimSpace(league)]
	return ok
}

id, err := getLeague(settings.league)
if err != nil {
	log.Printf("config error: %v (valid: PL, BL1, SA, PD ...)", err)
	return // skip widget instead of rendering an error state
}

When it happens

Trigger: getLeague called with any string not present as a key in leagueID — unknown code, wrong case, whitespace, or unsupported competition.

Common situations: Config value "epl" when the map expects "PL", trailing spaces from YAML, renaming of competition codes by the upstream API, or tests exercising the unknown-league path.
