Weibo whoami failed: ${result.detail}

Error message

Weibo whoami failed: ${result.detail}

What it means

verifyWeiboIdentity runs an in-page probe of the weibo.com whoami/profile endpoint. The probe script wraps its execution in a try/catch and returns {kind:'exception', detail} when something throws inside the browser context; the Node side converts that into a CommandExecutionError. This means the page itself threw while executing the probe, not that auth or HTTP status failed.

Solutions

1. Retry after a longer settle delay — the page may still be initializing; add page.wait before the probe
2. Check the result.detail string in the message to identify the in-page exception and address it (e.g. blocked fetch)
3. Re-login to get a clean session; anti-bot or broken cookies can make Weibo scripts throw
4. Update the library — a Weibo frontend change may require a probe fix

Example fix

// before
const result = unwrapEvaluateResult(await page.evaluate(buildWeiboIdentityProbe(uid)));
// after
await page.wait(3); // let the page settle before probing
const result = unwrapEvaluateResult(await page.evaluate(buildWeiboIdentityProbe(uid)));

// retry once with a settle delay if the probe throws
if (/Weibo whoami failed/.test(err.message)) {
  await page.wait(3);
  return verifyWeiboIdentity(page);
}

function isProbeException(r) {
  return r !== null && typeof r === 'object' && !Array.isArray(r) && r.kind === 'exception';
}

try {
  identity = await verifyWeiboIdentity(page);
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof CommandExecutionError && /whoami failed/.test(err.message)) {
    await page.wait(3);
    identity = await verifyWeiboIdentity(page); // single retry
  } else throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: The page.evaluate(buildWeiboIdentityProbe(uid)) callback throws in the browser: undefined browser APIs (e.g. fetch or XMLHttpRequest monkey-patched/blocked by page scripts or extensions), a Content Security Policy violation blocking the probe's fetch to /ajax/profile/info, or an unexpected DOM/JSON shape that the probe dereferences.

Common situations: Running the CLI against a heavily customized weibo.com page, anti-bot scripts interfering with the injected probe, page still mid-load with scripts overriding fetch, or a Weibo frontend redesign changing response parsing in the probe.
