Error message

xiaohongshu/delete-note: malformed ${context} payload

What it means

requireEvaluateString validates that a value returned from a page.evaluate script is a string before it is used (here for the current URL). If the browser context returned undefined, null, or a non-string, the library throws this CommandExecutionError naming the context. It protects downstream URL parsing from non-string input.

Solutions

1. Ensure the page is fully loaded on a xiaohongshu.com URL before running the delete-note command
2. Retry the command — transient navigation can make evaluate return undefined
3. Add navigation/selector waits to stabilize the page before evaluating
4. Log the raw evaluate payload on failure to see what the page returned

Example fix

// before
const payload = await page.evaluate(() => location.href);
// after
await page.waitForFunction(() => location.hostname.includes('xiaohongshu.com'));
const payload = await page.evaluate(() => location.href);

function isEvaluateString(v) { return typeof v === 'string'; }

try {
  await deleteNote({ noteId });
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof CommandExecutionError && /malformed .* payload/.test(e.message)) {
    // page likely navigated or evaluate failed; reload and retry once
  } else { throw e; }
}

When it happens

Trigger: An in-page evaluate used by currentUrl returned undefined/null or a non-string — e.g. the script threw and returned undefined, the tab navigated mid-evaluate, or the evaluate ran in a context where `location.href` was not accessible.

Common situations: Page navigation or crash during evaluate; running against a non-xiaohongshu or chrome-error page; automation timing issues where the target frame was not ready.

Understand the failure class

• Parsing and encoding errors: unexpected token, malformed input — why parsers reject input and how to find the real culprit.
