Could not open the uploaded image action menu for Describe

Error message

Could not open the uploaded image action menu for Describe

What it means

After uploading the image, describe locates the uploaded image card in the Midjourney DOM, tags its action-menu button with a data attribute, and clicks it. If page.evaluate cannot find/mark the button (menuMarked falsy), a CommandExecutionError is thrown because the Describe flow cannot proceed without opening that menu.

Solutions

1. Retry the command — transient render/upload lag often resolves it
2. Increase the wait before the evaluate step (e.g. wait for the card selector instead of a fixed delay)
3. Update the DOM selector / data-attribute marking logic in describe.js to match the current Midjourney UI
4. Verify the upload itself succeeded (check uploadReferenceLibrary returned a valid sourceUrl) and that the account can view the uploaded image
5. Check whether the image was rejected/needs moderation, which suppresses the action menu

Example fix

// before
if (!menuMarked) throw new CommandExecutionError('Could not open the uploaded image action menu for Describe');
// after
await page.waitForSelector(`img[src*="${sourceUrl}"]`, { timeout: 10000 }).catch(() => {});
const menuMarked = await page.evaluate(...); // retry once on failure
if (!menuMarked) throw new CommandExecutionError('Could not open the uploaded image action menu for Describe');

// pre-check the uploaded card exists before marking the menu button
const cardReady = await page.waitForSelector(`img[src*="${sourceUrl}"]`, { timeout: 10000 }).then(() => true).catch(() => false);
if (!cardReady) throw new Error('Uploaded image card not rendered; aborting before Describe menu step');

try {
  await describe(page, kwargs);
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof CommandExecutionError && err.message.includes('action menu for Describe')) {
    await page.wait(1.5); // let the card finish rendering
    await describe(page, kwargs); // single retry
  } else throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: The upload succeeded but the card's action-menu button is missing/renamed in Midjourney's UI, sourceUrl does not match the rendered card, or the page state is stale/slow (card not yet rendered when evaluate runs).

Common situations: Midjourney web UI redesign changing button selectors; slow uploads so the card appears after the check; account/locale variations altering the DOM; the image failing to render (moderation, expired upload).
