gRPC 3 INVALID_ARGUMENT vs 9 FAILED_PRECONDITION
Both gRPC 3 (INVALID_ARGUMENT) and 9 (FAILED_PRECONDITION) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 3 indicates that the client specified an invalid argument. This indicates arguments that are problematic regardless of the state of the system. Meanwhile, 9 means that the operation was rejected because the system is not in a state required for the operation's execution. For example, deleting a non-empty directory.
Description
The client specified an invalid argument. This indicates arguments that are problematic regardless of the state of the system.
Quand vous le voyez
A request field failed validation — for example, a negative page size, a malformed email, or a required field left empty.
Comment résoudre
Inspect the request payload and fix the invalid field. Check the API documentation for expected formats and constraints.
Description
The operation was rejected because the system is not in a state required for the operation's execution. For example, deleting a non-empty directory.
Quand vous le voyez
The request is valid on its own, but the system's current state doesn't allow it — like trying to delete a non-empty directory or update a resource that has been modified concurrently.
Comment résoudre
Bring the system into the required state before retrying. For example, empty the directory first, or re-read the resource to get the latest version before updating.
