What causes "não foi possível resolver o link curto" in tonhowtf/omniget?

Pass the fully expanded post URL directly instead of a short link

não foi possível resolver o link curto

Error message

não foi possível resolver o link curto

What it means

Defensive branch: the URL was still Target::Short at plan selection, meaning the earlier resolve/re-parse left an un-resolved short target in scope. The library treats this as an unreachable-but-possible state and throws rather than guessing a target.

Solutions

Pass the fully expanded post URL directly instead of a short link
If persistent, inspect fetcher.resolve() behavior for redirect loops between short-link forms
Update to a version where short-link resolution is fixed if you rely on redd.it links

Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Try / catch

if let Err(e) = run(opts).await {
    if e.to_string().contains("não foi possível resolver o link curto") {
        // expand short link externally and retry with the full URL
    }
}

Prevention

Pass fully expanded post URLs rather than short links
Keep the library updated so short-link resolution handles redirect chains
Treat this as a should-never-happen signal and log full input URL when it fires

When it happens

Trigger: Only reachable if a Target::Short survives the resolution step in run() (e.g. the resolve path re-introduced a Short target from the final URL), or in tests exercising the match arm directly.

Common situations: Rare; typically indicates the resolver returned a final URL that parse_target again classified as a short link (redirect chains between short-link forms).
