X_LOGIN_REQUIRED

X_LOGIN_REQUIRED

Error message

X_LOGIN_REQUIRED

What it means

The X client's require_login guard fails when the client has no authenticated session (authed() is false), returning the sentinel error with code X_LOGIN_REQUIRED. GraphQL/REST POST entry points (gql_post, rest_post_form, post_json_raw) call it before issuing requests, so any endpoint requiring a logged-in account is blocked without cookies.

Solutions

1. Complete the X login flow in the app to establish cookies, then retry.
2. Re-authenticate — the stored session cookie likely expired.
3. Check client.authed() before calling auth-required endpoints and route to login UI.
4. If the operation is meant to be public, use a guest-capable call path instead of the auth-guarded one.

Example fix

// before
client.gql_post(op, &vars).await?; // panics into X_LOGIN_REQUIRED when logged out
// after
if !client.authed() {
    return Err(AppError::LoginRequired); // route user to X login flow
}
client.gql_post(op, &vars).await?;

// before any authenticated call
if !client.authed() {
    navigator.go("/x-login");
    return;
}

fn ensure_authed(c: &XClient) -> anyhow::Result<()> { c.require_login() }

match client.gql_post(op, &vars).await {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("X_LOGIN_REQUIRED") => route_to_login(),
    other => other?,
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling any authenticated X operation (posting, following, authenticated GraphQL queries) when no login cookies/session have been established on the client.

Common situations: User never logged in via the app's X login flow; cookies expired or were cleared; app restarted and session was not persisted; using guest-only client for auth-required endpoints.
