What causes "[错误] 缺少配置项 [TYPE] !" in XIU2/CloudflareSpeedTest?

Set TYPE=A in cfst_ddns.conf (cfst_ddns.sh tests IPv4 with ./cfst and reads the first result IP)

[错误] 缺少配置项 [TYPE] !

Error message

[错误] 缺少配置项 [TYPE] !

What it means

_READ() requires TYPE from cfst_ddns.conf (grep 'TYPE=' | awk -F '=' '{print $NF}') and exits 1 at script/cfst_ddns.sh:25 when empty. TYPE is injected unquoted into the JSON payload — "type":"${TYPE}" (lines 53/59) — and must match the DNS record being updated (typically A for IPv4 results, AAAA for IPv6).

Solutions

Set TYPE=A in cfst_ddns.conf (cfst_ddns.sh tests IPv4 with ./cfst and reads the first result IP)
Use TYPE=AAAA only if you changed _UPDATE to run cfst with -f ipv6.txt
Ensure the value exactly matches the existing record's type in Cloudflare, with no spaces or quotes
Re-run to clear the remaining _READ checks

Example fix

# cfst_ddns.conf (before)
TYPE=
# (after)
TYPE=A

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

type=$(grep '^TYPE=' cfst_ddns.conf | head -1 | cut -d= -f2-)
[[ $type == A || $type == AAAA || $type == CNAME ]] || { echo "TYPE invalid: '$type'" >&2; exit 1; }

Type guard

is_dns_type(){ case $1 in A|AAAA|CNAME) return 0;; *) return 1;; esac; }

Prevention

Use the literal DNS record type (A/AAAA), never 'ipv4'/'ipv6'
Match TYPE to the record already stored under DNS_RECORDS_ID — Cloudflare rejects type mismatches on PUT
If you switch the record between A and AAAA, update TYPE and re-fetch the record id in the same change

When it happens

Trigger: cfst_ddns.conf has no TYPE= line, a commented line, or 'TYPE=' with nothing after the '='.

Common situations: Template line left blank during initial setup; user set an arbitrary value like 'ipv4' instead of the DNS record type 'A'/'AAAA'; wrong case or stray whitespace breaks the later PUT even when this check passes.
