Error message

BAIDU_COOKIE must contain BDUSS. Please check your cookie configuration.

What it means

ConfigNotFoundError thrown by getTiebaForumData after confirming a cookie exists but failing to extract a BDUSS value from it (the regex /BDUSS=([^;]+)/ did not match). BDUSS is the long-lived auth token the mobile API signs requests with, so a cookie without it cannot authenticate and the route refuses to proceed rather than sending an unsigned request.

Solutions

1. Re-copy the full cookie from a logged-in tieba.baidu.com request, making sure the BDUSS=... entry is included (it is HttpOnly, so use devtools Application > Cookies or the full Cookie request header).
2. Validate the string contains 'BDUSS=' before setting it; restart RSSHub.

Example fix

// before
const bduss = cookie.match(/BDUSS=([^;]+)/)?.[1] || '';
if (!bduss) {
    throw new ConfigNotFoundError('BAIDU_COOKIE must contain BDUSS. Please check your cookie configuration.');
}

// after: surface what was found so the operator can diagnose
if (!cookie.includes('BDUSS=')) {
    throw new ConfigNotFoundError('BAIDU_COOKIE must contain a BDUSS entry. Re-copy the cookie from a logged-in tieba.baidu.com session including HttpOnly cookies.');
}

const bduss = /BDUSS=([^;]+)/.exec(config.baidu.cookie ?? '')?.[1];
if (!bduss) {
    throw new ConfigNotFoundError('BAIDU_COOKIE must contain a BDUSS entry.');
}

function cookieHasBduss(cookie: string): boolean {
    return /BDUSS=[^;]+/.test(cookie);
}

When it happens

Trigger: BAIDU_COOKIE is set but does not contain a BDUSS=... entry, e.g. only PTSIG/STOKEN/login logs were copied, or the cookie string was truncated.

Common situations: Operator copied only part of the cookie; cookie export tool omitted HttpOnly BDUSS; BDUSS was renamed/dropped by Baidu (unlikely).
