weixin create-draft cover-image does not exist

Error message

weixin create-draft cover-image does not exist: ${absPath}

What it means

After resolving and normalizing the cover image path, resolveCoverImage calls fs.statSync; if the path does not exist (or is inaccessible) it throws this ArgumentError including the absolute path that was checked.

Solutions

1. Verify the file exists at the printed absolute path (ls the path).
2. Pass an absolute path to avoid working-directory surprises.
3. Fix file permissions if access is denied.
4. Check volume mounts if running inside a container.

Example fix

// before
coverImage: './cover.png'
// after
coverImage: '/home/me/assets/cover.png' // verified with ls

const abs = path.resolve(coverImage);
if (!fs.existsSync(abs)) throw new Error(`cover image missing: ${abs}`);

function isExistingFile(p) {
  try { return fs.statSync(path.resolve(p)).isFile(); } catch { return false; }
}

try {
  await createDraft({ coverImage });
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof ArgumentError && err.message.includes('does not exist')) {
    console.error('Check the path printed in the error');
  } else throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Passing a cover-image path that does not exist on disk, contains a typo, uses a wrong relative base for path.resolve, or points to a permission-denied location.

Common situations: Typos in the filename; running the CLI from a different working directory than assumed; image deleted/moved before the run; container missing the mounted file.

Understand the failure class

Background: "File not found" and ENOENT errors: why libraries can't find a file that should exist — this error's family across 50 libraries.
