Can not find qrCodeUrl

Error message

Can not find qrCodeUrl: ${JSON.stringify(result)}

What it means

The aliyun `qrcode` function starts the OAuth device-login flow by POSTing to https://openapi.alipan.com/oauth/authorize/qrcode. If the response is 2xx but lacks `qrCodeUrl` and/or `sid`, the login QR cannot be displayed, so this error is thrown with the full body. It guards against Aliyun returning an unexpected success payload.

Solutions

1. Inspect the serialized body for an embedded error code explaining why the QR was not issued.
2. Wait and retry if rate-limited — QR generation is throttled per client.
3. If the client_id was revoked, update it in src/window/Config/pages/Backup/utils/aliyun.jsx (or the app needs an update with a new app registration).
4. Check pot-app issue trackers — a revoked client_id affects all users and is fixed in releases.

if (!navigator.onLine) {
  throw new Error('offline: cannot start alipan QR login');
}
// throttle user-triggered login attempts:
const canStartLogin = (lastAttempt) => Date.now() - lastAttempt > 10_000;

function isQrCodeResult(data) {
  return data != null && typeof data === 'object' && typeof data['qrCodeUrl'] === 'string' && typeof data['sid'] === 'string';
}

try {
  const { url, sid } = await qrcode();
} catch (e) {
  if (String(e.message).startsWith('Can not find qrCodeUrl')) {
    showLoginUnavailableMessage(); // client_id revoked or throttled; suggest app update
  } else {
    throw e;
  }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling qrcode() where the authorize/qrcode endpoint responds 200 but without the expected qrCodeUrl/sid fields — e.g. the client_id (bf56dd2dc03a4d3489e3dda05dd6d466) is revoked/disabled, rate-limited QR generation, or an Aliyun API schema change.

Common situations: Aliyun disabled or rotated the embedded app's client_id, the user triggers login repeatedly and hits QR-generation rate limits, or the alipan OAuth API changes its response field names.
