Ctrip login_uid cookie missing — anonymous

Error message

Ctrip login_uid cookie missing — anonymous

What it means

verifyCtripIdentity first checks the browser session's cookies for a login_uid cookie on www.ctrip.com; if absent or empty it throws AuthRequiredError('ctrip.com', 'Ctrip login_uid cookie missing — anonymous'), meaning you are not logged in. The CLI's Ctrip commands use cookie-based auth, so an anonymous session cannot proceed.

Solutions

  1. Run the site's login flow (`ctrip login`) and complete Ctrip login at https://passport.ctrip.com/user/login in the CLI-controlled browser.
  2. Verify the CLI is attached to the browser profile you actually use and that it isn't an incognito/temporary profile.
  3. Re-check with `ctrip whoami`/verify after logging in; ensure login_uid appears in cookies for www.ctrip.com.
  4. Avoid clearing cookies between runs; use a persistent profile.
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

// check for a logged-in session before running Ctrip commands
const who = await opencli.ctrip.whoami().catch(() => null);
if (!who) {
  await opencli.ctrip.login(); // completes passport.ctrip.com login
}

Try / catch

try {
  const data = await runCtripCommand();
} catch (err) {
  if (err.name === 'AuthRequiredError' && /login_uid cookie missing/i.test(err.message)) {
    await opencli.ctrip.login(); // then retry
  } else throw err;
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Running any Ctrip command or `ctrip login`/verify when the connected browser profile has never logged into ctrip.com, cookies were cleared, or the session uses a fresh headless profile with no cookies.

Common situations: Fresh machine/container with an empty browser profile; browser cookie purge or privacy mode; pointing the CLI at the wrong browser profile; session expired and Ctrip dropped the cookie.
