Error message

qwen.ai

What it means

AuthRequiredError with site 'qwen.ai' thrown by verifyQwenIdentity when no cookie named 'token' is found among cookies for https://chat.qwen.ai (read via CDP getCookies so httpOnly cookies are visible). The library requires this token to probe the whoami API.

Solutions

1. Log in to chat.qwen.ai in the automation browser profile, then retry the command.
2. Run the library's qwen auth/login command (registerSiteAuthCommands) to perform the flow.
3. Confirm via page.getCookies({url:'https://chat.qwen.ai'}) that a 'token' cookie exists before running commands.
4. If you did log in but the cookie is absent, check for a cookie-name change in the site and update the library.

Example fix

// before
await askQwen(page, 'hello'); // fails: token cookie missing
// after
await qwenLogin(page);        // establish session first
await askQwen(page, 'hello');

const cookies = await page.getCookies({ url: 'https://chat.qwen.ai' });
if (!cookies.some(c => c.name === 'token' && c.value)) {
  console.error('qwen.ai token cookie missing - login required');
  process.exit(2);
}

function hasQwenToken(cookies) {
  return Array.isArray(cookies) && cookies.some(c => c.name === 'token' && !!c.value);
}

try {
  await verifyQwenIdentity(page);
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof AuthRequiredError) {
    await qwenLogin(page);
    await verifyQwenIdentity(page);
  } else { throw e; }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling any qwen command that verifies identity while the browser profile has no qwen.ai session: never logged in, cookies cleared, or an expired session where the server dropped the token cookie.

Common situations: Fresh automation profile without login; cookie jar wiped by profile reset or incognito run; qwen.ai rotating/renaming the auth cookie after a site update.
