Error message

xiaohongshu/delete-note: 已发布 tab not found on note-manager; xhs creator UI may have changed.

What it means

Step 1 of the flow clicks the 已发布 (Published) tab in the note manager. The injected script returns false if no matching clickable element is found, and the CLI raises this CommandExecutionError because delete actions only exist on the Published tab — without switching to it the tool cannot proceed. The message also warns that XHS's creator UI markup may have changed.

Solutions

1. Re-run the command; transient slow rendering can be the cause (increase settle time if configurable)
2. Check that the browser UI language for creator.xiaohongshu.com is Chinese (中文) so the 已发布 tab label matches
3. Verify in a real browser that the note-manager page still shows an 已发布 tab; if XHS changed the DOM, the CLI's selector logic needs updating
4. Update the library to a newer version that tracks the current XHS creator UI

// Pre-check the tab exists before invoking delete:
const hasTab = await page.evaluate(`() => {
  for (const el of document.querySelectorAll('a, button, [role="tab"], div')) {
    if ((el.innerText || '').trim() === '已发布') return true;
  }
  return false;
}`);
if (!hasTab) throw new Error('已发布 tab not rendered yet');

try {
  await cli('xiaohongshu', 'delete-note', { note: noteId });
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof CommandExecutionError && err.message.includes('已发布 tab not found')) {
    // retry once after settling, then surface UI-change
    await sleep(3000);
    return cli('xiaohongshu', 'delete-note', { note: noteId });
  }
  throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: The creator.xiaohongshu.com note-manager DOM changed (different tab markup/selectors) after an XHS frontend update; the page rendered in a language other than Chinese so the 已发布 label doesn't match; the page didn't finish rendering within ROW_SETTLE_MS; a variant layout (A/B test) hides the tab.

Common situations: XHS shipping a UI redesign; account region/language settings rendering English labels; slow network making the tab render after the 3s settle window; A/B-tested admin layouts for some accounts.
