Error message

ctrip package

What it means

EmptyResultError thrown when the vacations wait script reports state 'empty' — the page rendered successfully but contains no flight-plus-hotel package cards for the requested destination. This is a legitimate no-results signal, distinct from a captcha or render failure, surfaced as EmptyResultError with the destination echoed.

Solutions

1. Retry with a major destination city name (e.g. 三亚, 厦门) or fix spelling
2. Adjust travel dates — packages may be unavailable for the chosen period
3. Confirm the destination on vacations.ctrip.com manually to verify zero inventory
4. Try from a locale/IP where the inventory is offered

Example fix

// before
await ctrip.package({ destination: 'Sanya ' }); // trailing space/English name may yield empty
// after
await ctrip.package({ destination: '三亚' });

const dest = String(kwargs.destination ?? '').trim();
if (!dest) throw new Error('destination is required');
// prefer major-city names that are known to carry package inventory
const KNOWN_PACKAGE_CITIES = ['三亚', '厦门', '丽江', '桂林'];

const isKnownPackageDestination = (d) => typeof d === 'string' && d.trim().length > 0;

try {
  return await ctrip.package({ destination });
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof EmptyResultError) {
    return []; // genuine no-results: offer alternate destinations in UI
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: WAIT_FOR_VACATIONS_JS returns 'empty' after loading buildPackageListUrl(destination): the destination has no package inventory (obscure or international destinations, off-season dates), or the destination string is misspelled so Ctrip returns a zero-card results page.

Common situations: Searching niche destinations without package products; typo'd destination strings; date ranges where packages are sold out; region-locked inventory not offered to the current IP/locale.

Understand the failure class

Background: EmptyResultError / "no results found": when an API or scraper succeeds but returns zero rows — this error's family across 9 libraries.
