uid variable not find

Error message

uid variable not find

What it means

Thrown by the lanzou driver's login/account bootstrap when fetching https://pc.woozooo.com/mydisk.php?item=files&action=index and the returned HTML does not contain a 'uid="..."' assignment (regex `uid=([^'"&;]+)`). The uid is required for subsequent account API calls (listing, managing files on your own lanzou account storage).

Solutions

1. Log in to pc.woozooo.com in a browser, copy the full fresh Cookie header, and update the storage's Cookie field.
2. Verify the cookie works by opening https://pc.woozizzo.com/mydisk.php?item=files&action=index while logged out of other sessions — it must show the file list, not a login form.
3. If the browser shows a slider captcha, complete it, then re-copy cookies.
4. Update OpenList/AList in case the uid extraction regex was fixed upstream.

Example fix

// before: stale cookies -> login page HTML -> no uid -> error
// after: refresh cookie and pre-validate before saving storage
// (browser check) curl -s 'https://pc.woozooo.com/mydisk.php?item=files&action=index' \
//   -H 'Cookie: <your cookie>' | grep -o 'uid=[^"&;]*'
// must print a uid; otherwise refresh the cookie

// Before saving the storage, verify cookies yield a uid
html, _ := getHtmlWithCookie("https://pc.woozooo.com/mydisk.php?item=files&action=index", cookie)
if len(regexp.MustCompile(`uid=([^'"&;]+)`).FindStringSubmatch(html)) < 2 {
    return errors.New("cookie invalid: no uid in mydisk page; refresh cookie")
}

if err := d.Init(ctx); err != nil {
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "uid variable not find") {
        // prompt user to re-paste cookie instead of retrying
        return promptReauth("lanzou cookie expired")
    }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Creating/initializing a lanzou storage that uses account cookies (Cookie filled in addition) when the mydisk.php response lacks the uid variable: invalid or expired cookies, a redirect to the login page, or a WAF/verification page returned by pc.woozooo.com.

Common situations: Cookie string pasted incorrectly or missing key entries (phpdisk_info / ylogin), cookies expired (lanzou sessions rotate), IP flagged by the WAF, or a lanzou frontend change to the mydisk page markup.
