missing or invalid "text"

Error message

missing or invalid "text"

What it means

Argument-presence error from requireStringArg raised by the type binding's second argument (extension_runtime_webview.go:179-182): page.type(selector, text) was called with a selector but without usable text. requireStringArg at index 1 rejects nil, undefined and null, aborting the script before page.Type executes.

Solutions

1. Supply the text: page.type("#password", credentials.password)
2. Skip the call entirely when the value is absent rather than passing undefined
3. Validate the credentials object has all required keys before starting the form flow

Example fix

// before
page.type("#password", creds.password); // creds.password undefined

// after
if (typeof creds.password !== "string" || !creds.password) {
  throw new Error("password missing from credentials");
}
page.type("#password", creds.password);

if (typeof text !== "string" || text.length === 0) {
  throw new TypeError("type text is required");
}
page.type(selector, text);

function isNonEmptyString(v) {
  return typeof v === "string" && v.length > 0;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling page.type("#password") with the text omitted; passing an undefined credentials field (creds.password when the object lacks it); passing null explicitly to mean "type nothing".

Common situations: Credential storage lookups returning undefined for missing keys; optional form fields where the value is genuinely absent; spreads like page.type(sel, ...args) with an empty args tail.
