Failed to open Youdao Note URL

Error message

Failed to open Youdao Note URL: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}

What it means

The command wraps page.goto(url) in try/catch and converts any navigation failure (network error, DNS failure, timeout, invalid URL) into a CommandExecutionError with the underlying message. It means the browser automation could not open the normalized Youdao share URL at all.

Solutions

1. Check network connectivity and that the URL opens in a normal browser
2. Fix/normalize the share URL passed with --url
3. Configure proxy settings (HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY) if behind a firewall
4. Retry — transient timeouts often resolve; add retry/backoff around the command

Example fix

// before
await cli youdao note --url 'youdao.com/invalid'
// after
await cli youdao note --url 'https://note.youdao.com/ynoteshare/index.html?id=valid-id'

const u = new URL(rawUrl);
if (!/youdao\.com$/.test(u.hostname)) throw new Error(`Not a Youdao URL: ${u.href}`);
if (!(await fetch(u.href, { method: 'HEAD' })).ok) throw new Error('Share URL unreachable');

try {
  await cli.youdao.note({ url });
} catch (e) {
  if (/Failed to open Youdao Note URL/.test(e.message)) {
    console.error('Navigation failed:', e.message);
    // check proxy/offline, then retry with backoff
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: page.goto throws: DNS resolution failure, TLS error, connection refused/timeout, offline environment, proxy blocking youdao.com, or an invalid URL passed via kwargs.url.

Common situations: Corporate proxy/firewall blocking the domain; no internet access in CI; mistyped share link; Youdao endpoint outage or regional block.
