gRPC 5 NOT_FOUND vs 12 UNIMPLEMENTED
Both gRPC 5 (NOT_FOUND) and 12 (UNIMPLEMENTED) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 5 indicates that some requested entity was not found. For example, a file or directory that the RPC was supposed to operate on does not exist. Meanwhile, 12 means that the operation is not implemented or is not supported/enabled in this service.
Description
Some requested entity was not found. For example, a file or directory that the RPC was supposed to operate on does not exist.
Quand vous le voyez
The resource referenced in the request doesn't exist — such as looking up a user by ID that has been deleted or never created.
Comment résoudre
Verify the resource identifier is correct. Ensure the resource was created before accessing it, or handle the not-found case gracefully in your client.
Description
The operation is not implemented or is not supported/enabled in this service.
Quand vous le voyez
The client called an RPC method that the server does not implement. This often happens when the client uses a newer proto definition than the server supports.
Comment résoudre
Verify the server version supports the method you're calling. Update the server to implement the missing method, or use an alternative endpoint.
