Error message

Could not find image file input on Weibo compose page. UI may have changed.

What it means

Thrown when the CLI cannot locate the hidden <input type="file"> element on the Weibo compose page using the selector input[type="file"][class*="_file_"]. The command uses this input to stage image files, so without it image upload cannot proceed. Weibo ships its frontend with CSS-module class hashes that change on every rebuild, so this is a UI-drift guard.

Solutions

1. Retry later — often a transient render issue or a Weibo frontend rollout in progress
2. Update the CLI to a version with refreshed Weibo selectors (check the repo for selector-fix commits)
3. Open weibo.com manually and confirm the desktop compose dialog shows an image-attach button
4. As a workaround, publish without images and attach them manually

const fileInput = await page.evaluate(`() => !!document.querySelector('input[type="file"][class*="_file_"]')`);
if (!fileInput) {
    console.warn('Weibo compose file input not found; publish will fail. Check weibo.com UI or update the CLI.');
}

try {
    await publishToWeibo(text, images);
} catch (err) {
    if (String(err.message).includes('file input')) {
        // fall back to text-only publish
        await publishToWeibo(text, []);
    } else throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: page.evaluate check `document.querySelector('input[type="file"][class*="_file_"]')` returns null after the compose editor opened, while images were requested.

Common situations: Weibo redeployed their frontend and the file input's class name no longer contains the `_file_` module fragment; the compose modal failed to fully render (slow network, A/B layout test); the user is on a mobile/alternate Weibo layout where the desktop compose UI is absent.
