No catalog rows extracted — the URL may not be a course page

Error message

No catalog rows extracted — the URL may not be a course page or the login session has expired

What it means

Navigation succeeded but the catalog extraction returned either a non-array or an empty array, so getXiaoeCatalog throws EmptyResultError for 'xiaoe/catalog'. The library distinguishes this from a hard failure: the page loaded, but no product rows could be extracted.

Solutions

1. Verify the URL is a real xiaoe course catalog page (h5.xet.citv.cn/p/course/... style).
2. Re-login via the xiaoe auth flow and retry — expired sessions often yield empty lists.
3. Open the URL in a browser with the same session and confirm items are visible.
4. Update buildCatalogScript() selectors if the catalog markup changed.

Example fix

// before
await getXiaoeCatalog(page, 'https://appxxxx.h5.xet.citv.cn/');
// after
await getXiaoeCatalog(page, 'https://appxxxx.h5.xet.citv.cn/p/t_pc/goods_pc_list/pd_id=xxxx'); // actual catalog page URL

const u = new URL(url);
if (!u.hostname.endsWith('h5.xet.citv.cn') || !u.pathname.startsWith('/p/')) {
  throw new Error('not a xiaoe catalog page URL');
}

function isCatalogUrl(u) {
  try { const p = new URL(u); return p.protocol === 'https:' && p.hostname.endsWith('.h5.xet.citv.cn') && /\/p\//.test(p.pathname); } catch { return false; }
}

try {
  rows = await getXiaoeCatalog(page, url);
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof EmptyResultError) {
    await runXiaoeLogin(page); // stale session often yields empty list
    rows = await getXiaoeCatalog(page, url);
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: buildCatalogScript() evaluated on the loaded page returns [] or null/undefined — the URL is not actually a course/catalog page, or the page rendered in a logged-out/anti-bot state that hides the item list.

Common situations: Passing a storefront home or preview URL instead of a course catalog page; login session expired so the list renders empty; Xiaoe markup changed and the extraction selectors no longer match; region/permission gating hiding items from the account.
