Error message

xiaohongshu/delete-note failed: ${err?.message ?? String(err)}

What it means

This is a generic wrapper error thrown by the xiaohongshu/delete-note CLI command. Any unexpected exception raised while locating and deleting a note (page navigation failure, script evaluation error, element not found, timeout) is caught and re-thrown as a CommandExecutionError whose message embeds the original error message. Errors that are already CliError instances are passed through unchanged, so this wrapper only appears for non-CliError failures.

Solutions

1. Read the embedded `err?.message` in the error message to identify the underlying cause and fix that first.
2. Re-run with a full note URL (including xsec_token) rather than a bare note ID to reduce risk-control blocks.
3. Verify the note exists and is accessible while logged in; retry a transient failure once.
4. If the inner message points at a script/DOM failure, update the locate-and-delete script selectors to match the current page DOM.

Example fix

// before
await cli.run('xiaohongshu/delete-note', { input: '65f1abc123' });
// after
await cli.run('xiaohongshu/delete-note', { input: 'https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/65f1abc123?xsec_token=AB...' });

// Validate input before calling
function isValidNoteInput(input) {
  return typeof input === 'string' && input.trim().length > 0 &&
    (/^https?:\/\//.test(input) || /^[0-9a-f]{24}$/i.test(input.trim()));
}
if (!isValidNoteInput(noteInput)) throw new Error('invalid note id or url');

function isCliError(e) { return e instanceof Error && e.name === 'CliError'; }

try {
  await cli.run('xiaohongshu/delete-note', { input: noteInput });
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof CliError) throw err; // e.g. security block
  console.error('delete-note inner failure:', err?.message ?? String(err));
  // retry transient failures or rethrow
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling `xiaohongshu/delete-note` when the browser page fails to load the note page, the in-page locate/delete script (buildLocateAndMaybeDeleteScript) throws during page.evaluate, normalizeNoteId rejects the input, or any runtime error (network drop, selector mismatch, timeout) occurs before the success path returns the 'deleted' status.

Common situations: Passing a malformed note ID or URL; the note page failing to render because of risk control or login expiry; a stale/deleted note ID; flaky network causing page.goto or evaluate to time out; running against an updated Xiaohongshu DOM where the delete flow's selectors no longer match.
