Draft ${id} was not found in ${draftType} drafts. Run opencl

Error message

Draft ${id} was not found in ${draftType} drafts. Run opencli xiaohongshu drafts --type ${draftType} to list current ids.

What it means

draftNotFound is thrown when the requested draft id is absent from the Xiaohongshu draft database entries for the given draft type in the draft-open flow (clis/xiaohongshu/draft-open.js). The command cannot open a draft that doesn't resolve to an entry.

Solutions

1. Run 'opencli xiaohongshu drafts --type <type>' and use a currently listed id
2. Confirm --type corresponds to the draft's actual kind
3. Refresh the drafts database page and retry in case entries were stale
4. Pass the id verbatim from the listing to avoid normalization mismatches

Example fix

// before
opencli xiaohongshu draft-open --id draft_123 --type note
// after
opencli xiaohongshu drafts --type note
opencli xiaohongshu draft-open --id <validId> --type note

const drafts = await opencli xiaohongshu drafts --type type;
if (!drafts.some(d => d.id === targetId)) throw new Error(`Draft ${targetId} not found in ${type} drafts`);

function draftExists(drafts, id) { return Array.isArray(drafts) && drafts.some(d => d && d.id === id); }

try {
  await opencli xiaohongshu draft-open --id id --type type;
} catch (e) {
  if (/was not found in .* drafts/.test(e.message)) {
    const list = await opencli xiaohongshu drafts --type type;
    // re-select a valid id and retry
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the xiaohongshu draft-open command with an --id not present in readDraftEntries results for the given --type.

Common situations: Id taken from an old listing after the draft was deleted or edited; wrong --type passed so lookup misses; draft db page stale or partially loaded; id casing/format mismatch.
