failure to delete benchmark

[OmarTawfik]

The UI displays the following error:

🐰 Lettuce romaine calm! Failed to delete. Please, try again.

And inspecting dev console, I see:

• Request: DELETE https://api.bencher.dev/v0/projects/{PROJECT}/benchmarks/{NAME}
• Status Code: 409 CONFLICT
• X-Request-Id: 9e5de9f0-16ab-406b-bbe1-aa8a703b55c5
• Fly-Request-Id: 01J35GYD2BG4WVZE38TVR6KXDS-sea

The error is persisting across many retries.

@OmarTawfik sorry you are running into trouble.

I searched for the X-Request-Id in the logs and it lead me to the slang project.
It looks like you still have a Report that uses the ======= CALLGRIND ======================================================= benchmark.

You have to delete all of the Reports and Thresholds that are associated with a Benchmark before you a can delete the Benchmark itself.

There are two outstanding issues to help make this a bit easier:

• Add the ability to delete multiple Reports #350
• Add a way to reset a Project #438

I see. Thanks for explaining. I can delete the reports first, then delete the benchmark.

There are two outstanding issues to help make this a bit easier:

I think the main issue here is that the error message didn't tell me what was going on.
But please feel free to triage/close this issue if you are already tracking this somewhere else.

Great!

And yes the error messages could definitely be improved. Current tracking issues:

• Add better error messages in the UI #208
• Create more useful error messages from the API server #449
