Windows failure here is This PR doesn't touch search_stops, and ubuntu-latest is green. |
CONTRIBUTING.md asks handlers to distinguish "not found" from "the query itself failed", checking errors.Is(err, sql.ErrNoRows) and reserving sendNotFound for that case, with route_handler.go named as the reference. Three lookups collapsed every error class into a 404 instead, so a busy database, an I/O error or a cancelled context told the client the shape or route did not exist. shapes_handler and scheduleForRouteHandler take their ids from the client, so they gain the ErrNoRows branch and fall through to serverErrorResponse. tripHandler reads route.AgencyID out of the database after GetTrip and GetRoute have already succeeded, so a failure there cannot mean the client asked for something absent and goes straight to serverErrorResponse, which is what trip_details_handler.go already does with the same value.

Rebased onto main. The Windows failure was not from this change: the branch predated 031bf7b, so it was still running the old |

The rule this follows
CONTRIBUTING.mdstates it directly, and names the reference implementation:Three lookups do not follow it, so a busy database, an I/O error or a cancelled context is reported to the client as a missing entity.
The change
Two of the three take their id from the client, so they get the
route_handler.go:21-30form exactly:shapes_handler.go:19,GetAgency(ctx, agencyID)schedule_for_route_handler.go:25and:31,GetRouteandGetAgencytrip_handler.go:32is different and goes straight toserverErrorResponsewith noErrNoRowsbranch. Its argument isroute.AgencyID, read out of the database afterGetTripandGetRoutehave both already succeeded. A miss there cannot mean the client asked for something absent; it would mean a route referencing an agency row that is gone.trip_details_handler.go:158-162already does exactly this with the same value.22 production lines across three files.
Verification
New test at
internal/restapi/db_error_status_test.go. It closes a database and asserts the handler answers 500 rather than 404, which exercises the realErrNoRows-versus-other distinction instead of asserting against a stub.It deliberately does not use
createTestApi: that helper returns a package-level GTFS manager built once throughsync.Onceand shared by every test in the package, so closing its database would break the whole suite. The test builds its own in-memory manager, which is the patterncurrent_time_handler_test.go:139already uses.Scope, deliberately
tripHandleris not covered by the new test, and I would rather say so than imply it is. ItsGetTriplookup runs first and still maps every error to 404, so a closed database never reaches the agency lookup this PR fixes. That blanket 404 is shared withtrip_details_handler.go:146, so correcting it is a separate two-file change rather than something to smuggle in here.Two more sites have the same defect and are left out because they are contested.
schedule_for_stop_handler.go:33is touched by #1385, #1386, #1387, #1388 and #1401, andstops_for_route_handler.go:31by #1380 and #1401. Fixing them here would conflict with all of those.No helper was extracted. The repeated block is four lines, and a new indirection for three call sites is more review surface than the fix, so the sites stay inline.
