Error message

must be a non-empty session ID or qianwen.com chat URL

What it means

parseQianwenSessionId in clis/qwen/utils.js throws ArgumentError('id', 'must be a non-empty session ID or qianwen.com chat URL') when the input is null, undefined, or trims to an empty string. The session id can be either a 32-char hex ID or a full chat URL; an empty value cannot identify any conversation.

Solutions

1. Supply the 32-char hex session ID via --id, e.g. --id abcd1234ef567890abcd1234ef567890
2. Or pass the full chat URL: --id 'https://www.qianwen.com/chat/<32-hex>'
3. Check that the variable/config feeding --id is populated (echo it before running)
4. If the ID came from a previous command's output, verify that command actually succeeded

Example fix

// before
SESSION_ID=""
clis qwen history --id "$SESSION_ID"
// after
SESSION_ID="abcd1234ef567890abcd1234ef567890"
clis qwen history --id "$SESSION_ID"

function requireSessionId(argv) {
  const id = (argv.id || '').trim();
  if (!id) throw new Error('Missing --id: pass a 32-char hex session ID or a qianwen.com/chat URL');
  return id;
}

const hasSessionId = (kwargs) =>
  typeof kwargs?.id === 'string' && kwargs.id.trim().length > 0;

try {
  await runQianwenHistory({ id });
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof ArgumentError && /non-empty session ID/.test(e.message)) {
    console.error('Provide --id <32-hex> or --id "https://www.qianwen.com/chat/<id>"');
    process.exitCode = 2;
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the history/session command without --id; passing --id '' or whitespace; a variable holding the ID is unset/empty in a wrapper script; programmatically calling sessionId() with undefined.

Common situations: Forgetting the required --id flag; empty environment variables interpolated into the command; scripts that derive the ID from a previous command whose output was empty due to an earlier failure.
