Profile '{scrub_url_credentials(profile)}' not found for {sc

Error message

Profile '{scrub_url_credentials(profile)}' not found for {scrub_url_credentials(browser)}.{hint}

What it means

Raised by _profile_cookie_file() in agent_reach/cookie_extract.py when the requested profile folder name does not exist in the browser's User Data directory. The code iterates list_browser_profiles(browser) and matches candidate['folder'] exactly; on miss it raises with a hint enumerating the available folder names (e.g. 'Default', 'Profile 1').

Solutions

Read the hint in the error message — it lists the exact available folder names
Enumerate profiles programmatically with list_browser_profiles(browser) and pick from the returned 'folder' values
Verify the browser has actually created multiple profiles (chrome://settings) before requesting one

Example fix

# before
extract_all(browser='chrome', platform='bilibili', profile='Profile 2')

# after
from agent_reach.cookie_extract import list_browser_profiles
profiles = {p['folder'] for p in list_browser_profiles('chrome')}
profile = 'Profile 1' if 'Profile 1' in profiles else 'Default'
extract_all(browser='chrome', platform='bilibili', profile=profile)

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

from agent_reach.cookie_extract import list_browser_profiles
folders = {p['folder'] for p in list_browser_profiles(browser)}
if profile not in folders:
    profile = sorted(folders)[0]  # or prompt the user

Type guard

def valid_profile(browser: str, profile: str) -> bool:
    try:
        return any(p['folder'] == profile for p in list_browser_profiles(browser))
    except Exception:
        return False

Try / catch

try:
    extract_all(browser='chrome', platform='bilibili', profile=prof)
except ValueError as e:
    if 'not found for' in str(e):
        prof = list_browser_profiles('chrome')[0]['folder']
    else:
        raise

Prevention

Always source folder names from list_browser_profiles, never hardcode
Use the on-disk 'Profile N' name, not the browser UI label
Parse the 'Available profiles:' hint from the message when recovering

When it happens

Trigger: Calling extract_all(browser='chrome', platform='xueqiu', profile='Profile 2') when Chrome only has 'Default' and 'Profile 1'; passing a display name ('Work') instead of the folder name; quoting or case mismatches.

Common situations: Hardcoding a profile name that exists on the dev machine but not on the target; the browser was reset and profile folders were renumbered; using the human-visible profile label rather than the on-disk folder.
