Submission accepted but Suno returned no clip ids. Raw: ${JS

Error message

Submission accepted but Suno returned no clip ids. Raw: ${JSON.stringify(result.body).slice(0, 300)}

What it means

After a 2xx generate response with a valid JSON object, submitSunoGeneration requires a non-empty clips array to extract clip ids. If the object has no clips (or an empty array), EmptyResultError is thrown with a 300-char dump of the raw body for debugging.

Solutions

1. Inspect the Raw JSON in the error message to see what Suno actually returned.
2. Rephrase the prompt/lyrics — content moderation often accepts the request but returns no clips.
3. Check credits/subscription status on suno.com and retry.
4. Verify clip ids are read from the right field; update the CLI if Suno renamed the clips field.

Example fix

// before
const clips = result.body?.clips || [];
if (!clips.length) throw new EmptyResultError('suno generate', ...);
// after: log full body for diagnosis and check alternate fields
const clips = result.body?.clips || result.body?.data?.clips || [];
if (!clips.length) {
  console.error('Suno body:', JSON.stringify(result.body).slice(0, 500));
  throw new EmptyResultError('suno generate', 'no clips returned');
}

// after submit, validate clips before consuming
if (!body?.clips || !body.clips.length) {
  console.error('Suno returned:', JSON.stringify(body).slice(0, 300));
}

function hasClips(body) {
  return Array.isArray(body?.clips) && body.clips.length > 0;
}

try {
  const body = await submitSunoGeneration(page, payload);
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof EmptyResultError) {
    // inspect e.message raw dump; retry with adjusted prompt (moderation often causes empty clips)
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Suno accepted the generation POST (2xx) but the returned body.clips is missing or empty — e.g. the request was silently filtered (flagged prompt/lyrics), quota/throttling accepted the job but returned no clips, or the API envelope changed.

Common situations: Prompts that trigger Suno's content moderation get accepted but return zero clips; account with exhausted credits edge-cases; Suno A/B testing a new response schema; submitting with malformed style fields the server ignores.
