Share button not visible

Error message

Share button not visible

What it means

Thrown by the kimi chat share command when page.evaluate(clickBySvgNameScript('Share_a')) fails to find or click the Share icon on the conversation page. Like the like/dislike handler, the CLI surfaces the page-side reason or the fallback 'Share button not visible'.

Solutions

1. Confirm the conversation URL is valid and the Share icon is visible in the browser before running the command
2. Wait/retry after page load so the icon is rendered
3. Check the DOM for the current Share SVG name and update the 'Share_a' argument if Kimi changed it
4. Inspect res.reason in the error for the precise page-side failure

Example fix

// before
const res = await page.evaluate(clickBySvgNameScript('Share_a'));
if (!res?.ok) throw new CommandExecutionError(res?.reason || 'Share button not visible', '');
// after
await page.wait(2); // ensure conversation UI is rendered
const res = await page.evaluate(clickBySvgNameScript('Share_a'));
if (!res?.ok) {
  // fall back to opening overflow menu if Kimi moved Share behind '...'
  const retry = await page.evaluate(clickBySvgNameScript('Share'));
  if (!retry?.ok) throw new CommandExecutionError(retry?.reason || res.reason, '');
}

// confirm you are on a conversation URL that supports share
if (!/kimi\.com.*conversation|chat/.test(page.url())) throw new Error('not on a shareable conversation page');

const isClickResult = (r) => !!r && typeof r === 'object' && typeof r.ok === 'boolean';

try {
  await kimi(['chat', 'share']);
} catch (e) {
  if (/Share button not visible/.test(e.message)) {
    await page.wait(2);
    // retry or fall back to copying the conversation URL directly
    return page.url();
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running the share command on a page where the 'Share_a' SVG is absent: not on a saved/shared conversation, the share icon is behind an overflow menu, the conv URL is wrong, or the page hasn't finished rendering.

Common situations: Attempting to share a fresh conversation where Kimi only shows Share after the conversation is saved, a Kimi UI update renaming the Share SVG, or navigation landed on the wrong page.
