Error message

No articles were found for ${yearMonth}${day}.

What it means

Thrown by the Fjdaily route after parsing the edition's catalog page (`pad/col/<yearMonth>/<day>/node_01.html`) when zero article entries are found. The route scrapes `#catalog li` elements and maps them to article items. If the list is empty — either because the edition has no articles, the page returned an error, or the selector broke — the check `list.length === 0` fires.

Solutions

1. Verify the edition exists by opening `https://fjrb.fjdaily.com/pc/col/<yearMonth>/<day>/node_01.html` in a browser.
2. Try a known publication date or omit the date parameter to get the latest edition.
3. If the page exists but the selector broke, inspect the HTML and update `#catalog li` in the handler.
4. Check if the date falls on a holiday or weekend with no print edition.

// Validate the edition exists and has articles before processing
async function editionHasArticles(yearMonth: string, day: string): Promise<boolean> {
    try {
        const response = await got(`${ROOT_URL}/pad/col/${yearMonth}/${day}/node_01.html`);
        const $ = load(response.data);
        return $('#catalog li').toArray().length > 0;
    } catch {
        return false;
    }
}

function hasCatalogEntries($: cheerio.CheerioAPI): boolean {
    return $('#catalog li').toArray().filter((el) => $(el).find('a').first().attr('href')).length > 0;
}

const list = content('#catalog li').toArray().map(/* ... */).filter(Boolean);
if (list.length === 0) {
    // Provide actionable guidance in the error
    throw new Error(
        `No articles found for ${yearMonth}${day}. ` +
        `Verify the edition exists at ${ROOT_URL}/pc/col/${yearMonth}/${day}/node_01.html ` +
        `or try omitting the date for the latest edition.`
    );
}

When it happens

Trigger: A date is specified for a day that had no publication (e.g., a national holiday where no edition was printed). The catalog page returned a 404 or error page that cheerio parsed as valid HTML with no `#catalog li` elements. The selector `#catalog li` changed after a site update.

Common situations: User passes a future date that has no edition yet. User passes a date for a non-publication day. The pad-version of the page is deprecated or moved. The site changed the catalog container ID or class.
