Douban dbcl2 / ck cookies missing

Error message

Douban dbcl2 / ck cookies missing

What it means

verifyDoubanIdentity inspects the browser's cookies for douban.com and requires an authenticated session, detected via the dbcl2 or ck cookies set after Douban login. It throws AuthRequiredError when neither cookie exists, meaning the reused browser profile is not logged in to douban.com.

Solutions

  1. Run the douban login flow (opencli site auth for douban) and sign in at accounts.douban.com/passport/login in the reused browser
  2. Manually log in to douban.com in the browser profile opencli reuses, then rerun
  3. Verify cookies exist: document.cookie or devtools on www.douban.com should show dbcl2 or ck
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Validate before calling

const cookies = await page.getCookies({ url: 'https://www.douban.com' });
const ok = cookies.some(c => c.name === 'dbcl2' || c.name === 'ck');
if (!ok) console.error('Not logged in to douban.com — run the login flow first');

Type guard

function hasDoubanCookies(cookies) { return cookies.some(c => c.name === 'dbcl2' || c.name === 'ck'); }

Try / catch

try { await verifyDoubanIdentity(page); } catch (e) { if (e instanceof AuthRequiredError) { await runDoubanLogin(); return verifyDoubanIdentity(page); } throw e; }

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Running any authenticated douban command with a fresh/incognito browser profile; after clearing cookies; on a machine whose browser was never signed in to douban.com; after Douban session expiry removed the cookies.

Common situations: CI or headless environments with no logged-in profile; switching browser profiles; a long-lived session silently expiring so the cookies disappear.
