Send button not found

Error message

Send button not found

What it means

A CommandExecutionError thrown by the qoder send command after both send strategies fail: first clicking button[aria-label="Send message"] / button[title="Send message"] via clickFirstScript, then the clickByTextScript fallback with 'Send message' / 'Send' / '发送'. If neither finds a clickable send control, this error is thrown — the text may have been typed but never sent.

Solutions

1. Retry with a short wait after typing — the Send button only becomes enabled once the composer registers the injected text.
2. Inspect the composer DOM and add the current selector (new aria-label or a form submit selector) to the clickFirstScript selector list.
3. Add a keyboard fallback: dispatch an Enter keypress on the composer, which Qoder treats as send.
4. Verify text injection succeeded first (composer value non-empty) since a disabled Send is usually a symptom of failed injection, not a missing button.

Example fix

// before
if (!textRes?.ok) throw new CommandExecutionError('Send button not found', '');
// after
if (!textRes?.ok) {
    const enterRes = await evaluateQoder(page, pressEnterInComposerScript());
    if (!enterRes?.ok) throw new CommandExecutionError('Send button not found', '');
}

// Verify injection registered and a send control exists before invoking
const state = await page.evaluate(() => {
  const el = document.querySelector('textarea, [contenteditable="true"]');
  const hasText = !!el && (el.value || el.innerText || '').trim().length > 0;
  const hasSend = !!document.querySelector('button[aria-label="Send message"], button[title="Send message"]');
  return { hasText, hasSend };
});
if (!state.hasText || !state.hasSend) throw new Error('Composer empty or Send control missing — send would fail');

function hasClickResult(res) {
  return typeof res === 'object' && res !== null && res.ok === true;
}

try {
  await runCli('qoder send', [text]);
} catch (e) {
  if (String(e.message).includes('Send button not found')) {
    // keyboard fallback: focus composer and press Enter
    await focusComposerAndPressEnter();
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running `qoder send <text>` when: the composer is empty in Qoder's eyes (injection silently failed or text was rejected), so the Send button is disabled/hidden; Qoder changed the aria-label/title (e.g. to 'Send' or an icon with different metadata); the send control is now an icon-only SVG button with no accessible label or text; or the UI is mid-render.

Common situations: Qoder redesigns replacing the labeled button with an icon-only button lacking aria-label; localized builds where text candidates ('Send message'/'Send'/'发送') don't match; Enter-to-send-only configurations with no visible button; automation racing the composer's enabled state after typing.
