Error message

este post não tem mídia para baixar (é só texto)

What it means

After executing the plan (video/image/gallery/text), the files vector is empty, meaning nothing was downloaded. Since the only plan that legitimately yields nothing is Plan::TextOnly, the library reports that the post is a text-only post with no downloadable media.

Solutions

1. Check the post in a browser — if it has no image/video, this tool cannot download anything (expected behavior)
2. For text-only posts use the text-export path instead of media download
3. If the post does have media, verify the direct downloads aren't failing (look for earlier errors); media may have been removed
4. Try the gallery-dl fallback manually for crossposts/removed media

// Check the post actually has media via Reddit JSON before calling:
let j: serde_json::Value = fetch_json(&post_url).await?;
let has_media = j["data"]["children"][0]["data"]["post_hint"].is_string()
    || !j["data"]["children"][0]["data"]["gallery_data"].is_null();
if !has_media { eprintln!("post is text-only; skipping download"); }

fn post_has_media(post: &serde_json::Value) -> bool {
    post["post_hint"].is_string() || !post["gallery_data"].is_null()
        || !post["secure_media"].is_null() || !post["is_gallery"].as_bool().unwrap_or(false)
}

match run(opts).await {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("não tem mídia") => {
        // treat as success-with-nothing-to-do for text-only posts
    }
    other => other?,
}

When it happens

Trigger: run() given a self-text post (no media attachment), so the .txt info file was written but files ended up empty — actually thrown when even the text plan did not run, i.e. plans produced zero files.

Common situations: Text-only posts passed to a media downloader; posts where media was removed so all downloads silently failed; crossposts whose media lives on the original post.

Understand the failure class

Background: EmptyResultError / "no results found": when an API or scraper succeeds but returns zero rows — this error's family across 9 libraries.
