Solutions

1. The People’s Daily site layout may have changed; open an issue so the edition URL parsing can be updated.
2. Retry later in case of a transient fetch problem.

When it happens

Trigger: The edition page URL does not match the expected /YYYYMM/DD/ date pattern, so the edition date cannot be parsed.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
