WeChat draft save was not confirmed by a fresh success statu

Error message

WeChat draft save was not confirmed by a fresh success status.

What it means

Thrown by saveDraft after the save-draft button was clicked but the 8-attempt confirmation loop (each with a 1-second wait) never observed a fresh save status via readSaveState — i.e. no visible status text appeared, or the text never changed from the pre-save snapshot. The library requires positive confirmation that the draft was saved.

Solutions

1. Retry the command; transient click or save failures often succeed on the second attempt.
2. Increase the polling attempts/duration to accommodate slow saves.
3. Check whether the status-text freshness comparison (state.text !== before.text) is too strict for repeat saves of an unchanged draft, and relax it or compare save timestamps.
4. Confirm the status element selector in readSaveState still matches WeChat's current UI and update it if the editor changed.

Example fix

// before
if (state?.visible && (!before?.visible || state.text !== before.text)) return;
// after
if (state?.visible && (!before?.visible || state.text !== before.text || state.text.includes('成功'))) return;

const before = await readSaveState(page); // capture pre-save status
// ensure the save click happened; re-check button state
const clicked = await evaluate(page, 'Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("button, a")).some(el => (el.textContent || "").trim() === "保存为草稿")');
if (clicked !== true) throw new Error('save button gone; cannot confirm save');

function isSaveState(v) { return typeof v === 'object' && v !== null && (typeof v.visible === 'boolean') && typeof v.text === 'string'; }

try {
    await createDraftCommand(opts);
} catch (e) {
    if (/not confirmed by a fresh success status/i.test(e.message)) {
        await sleep(5000);
        return createDraftCommand(opts); // slow save — retry once
    }
    throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: The click didn't register (overlay, animation), the save request failed server-side without changing the status text, the save finished but the status text was identical to the pre-save snapshot (before.text) so the freshness check never passed, or saving takes longer than the ~8-second polling window.

Common situations: Slow WeChat saves exceeding 8 seconds; editing an already-saved draft where the status text doesn't change; page modals (e.g. unsaved-changes prompts) swallowing the click; WeChat changing the status message element read by readSaveState.
