Ctrip hotel detail page did not expose SSR hotel data

Error message

Ctrip hotel detail page did not expose SSR hotel data (state=${String(waitResult)})

What it means

CommandExecutionError thrown when the detail page loaded but WAIT_FOR_HOTEL_DETAIL_JS returned a state other than 'content' or 'captcha', meaning the expected SSR hotel data never appeared (e.g. 'timeout', 'error', 'redirect'). The message embeds the state for diagnosis.

Solutions

1. Verify the hotelId is valid by opening buildHotelDetailUrl(hotelId) in a browser and checking the state value in the message
2. Increase the wait timeout in WAIT_FOR_HOTEL_DETAIL_JS if on a slow connection
3. Update the wait/selector logic to the current Ctrip markup
4. Retry — transient slowness can cause the timeout state

Example fix

// before
const waitResult = await page.evaluate(WAIT_FOR_HOTEL_DETAIL_JS);
if (waitResult !== 'content') throw new CommandExecutionError(`...(state=${waitResult})`);
// after
let waitResult = await page.evaluate(WAIT_FOR_HOTEL_DETAIL_JS);
if (waitResult !== 'content') {
  await page.waitForTimeout(3000);
  waitResult = await page.evaluate(WAIT_FOR_HOTEL_DETAIL_JS);
}
if (waitResult !== 'content') throw new CommandExecutionError(`...(state=${waitResult})`);

// validate the id format before the call
if (!/^\d+$/.test(String(hotelId))) throw new Error(`invalid ctrip hotel id: ${hotelId}`);

const isContentState = (state) => state === 'content';

try {
  return await ctrip.hotel({ id });
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof CommandExecutionError && /did not expose SSR hotel data/.test(e.message)) {
    await sleep(2000);
    return await ctrip.hotel({ id }); // bounded retry for timeout states
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: WAIT_FOR_HOTEL_DETAIL_JS times out waiting for SSR data, the page redirects to a booking/login flow, the hotelId is invalid and Ctrip serves an error page, or the DOM selector for the SSR state never matches.

Common situations: Typo or nonexistent hotelId producing a 404-ish page; Ctrip A/B redesign removing the awaited selector; slow network causing the internal wait timeout; mobile vs desktop page variant.
