Failed to send Qianwen image prompt

Error message

Failed to send Qianwen image prompt

What it means

After toggling image mode, clis/qwen/image.js calls sendMessage(page, prompt); if the result lacks ok:true it throws CommandExecutionError with the sender's reason, or the generic 'Failed to send Qianwen image prompt' when no reason is given. A login gate on the page is checked first and surfaced as an auth error instead. This indicates the prompt never reached the chat.

Solutions

1. Re-run after confirming you are logged in to qianwen.com in the automation browser (check for the login modal/gate)
2. Start a fresh chat (the command's new flag defaults true) so the composer is idle and enabled
3. Retry once after a short wait — transient DOM/network flakiness is common
4. If it persists, inspect the page: the send-button/input selectors in sendMessage likely need updating after a site update

Example fix

// before
clis qwen image --prompt 'sunset'   # fails mid-session with stale composer
// after
clis qwen image --prompt 'sunset' --new true   # force fresh chat before sending

null

null

try {
  await runQianwenImage(prompt);
} catch (e) {
  if (/Failed to send Qianwen image prompt/.test(e.message)) {
    await ensureLoggedIn(page);            // re-check login state
    await sleep(2000);                     // brief backoff for transient DOM flake
    await runQianwenImage(prompt);         // single retry, fresh chat
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: sendMessage fails to locate the input box or submit button, the page DOM changed, the session was logged out mid-flow (and hasLoginGate misses it), or the composer is disabled while a previous request is still generating.

Common situations: Qianwen frontend update renaming composer selectors; expired cookies so the send button no-ops; sending a new image prompt while the previous generation is still running; network hiccup during page load.
