Error message

Source "${query}" was not found in the current notebook.

What it means

opencli notebooklm source-guide throws this EmptyResultError when the notebook and sources are fine, but findNotebooklmSourceRow found no row matching the --source argument. The query stringified from kwargs.source matched zero listed sources.

Solutions

1. Run `opencli notebooklm source-list` to get exact source titles/ids.
2. Retry with the exact title or id from the listing.
3. Re-add the source if it was deleted; update scripts to reference the current title.

Example fix

// before
opencli notebooklm source-guide --source "report"
// after
opencli notebooklm source-list              # exact title: "Q3 Report"
opencli notebooklm source-guide --source "Q3 Report"

const sources = await exec('opencli notebooklm source-list --json');
const hit = sources.find(s => s.title === wanted || s.id === wanted);
if (!hit) throw new Error(`Source "${wanted}" not found; check source-list`);

function findSourceRow(rows, query) {
  if (!Array.isArray(rows) || typeof query !== 'string') return null;
  const q = query.trim().toLowerCase();
  return rows.find(r => r?.title?.toLowerCase() === q || r?.id === query) ?? null;
}

try {
  return await run('opencli notebooklm source-guide', ['--source', name]);
} catch (err) {
  if (/was not found in the current notebook/.test(err.message)) {
    const rows = await run('opencli notebooklm source-list');
    throw new Error(`"${name}" not found. Available: ${rows.map(r => r.title).join(', ')}`);
  }
  throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: `opencli notebooklm source-guide --source "title"` where no source title or id matches the provided string: typo, renamed/deleted source, or passing a file path/URL instead of the listed title.

Common situations: Casing or wording differs from the NotebookLM source title; source removed since the last listing; using an id from a different notebook; quotes/spaces mismatch.
