Copy button not visible

Error message

Copy button not visible

What it means

When copy-message runs with click-button=true, it invokes clickBySvgNameScript('Copy') on the last assistant turn; if the in-page script cannot find/click a Copy button, CommandExecutionError is thrown. The message (or clickRes.reason) indicates the copy control was not present or not clickable at that moment.

Solutions

1. Omit click-button and just read the returned Text field — the command already returns the full assistant message, so DOM copy is usually unnecessary.
2. Hover/focus the last assistant message before clicking (e.g. move mouse to the turn) so the Copy button renders.
3. Wait until the response finishes streaming, then retry.
4. Update the SVG name ('Copy') if the Kimi UI changed the icon.

Example fix

// before
await cli('kimi', 'copy-message', { 'click-button': true });
// after
const out = await cli('kimi', 'copy-message'); // no DOM click needed
const text = out.find(r => r.Field === 'Text').Value;

function clickOk(res) { return !!res && res.ok === true; }

try {
  return await cli('kimi', 'copy-message', { 'click-button': true });
} catch (e) {
  if (/Copy button not visible/i.test(e.message)) {
    // DOM copy unavailable; use returned text instead
    return await cli('kimi', 'copy-message');
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Copy button only renders on hover/focus of the assistant message; kwargs['click-button'] is truthy but no response is hovered; Kimi renamed the Copy SVG icon or moved it behind an overflow menu.

Common situations: Headless automation where hover-dependent buttons never appear; Kimi UI updates relocating the copy action; calling click-button on a still-streaming response whose action bar hasn't rendered.
