current user not found in page state

Error message

current user not found in page state

What it means

CurrentUser reads the logged-in user's state from the page via an injected JS expression; if the evaluated result string is empty it returns 'current user not found in page state'. It means the page's state does not contain the current user object — typically because the visitor is not logged in or the state shape changed.

Solutions

1. Complete login (WaitForLogin / QR scan) before calling CurrentUser and verify cookies persist across runs
2. Dump the page state (or screenshot) when this happens and update the JS state path in login.go if the site renamed the user key
3. Load saved cookies and re-check; if still empty, treat as not-logged-in and re-authenticate
4. Guard the call: fall back to a login flow when this error occurs

Example fix

// before
user, err := login.CurrentUser(ctx)
if err != nil { return err }
// after
user, err := login.CurrentUser(ctx)
if err != nil && strings.Contains(err.Error(), "not found in page state") {
    if !login.WaitForLogin(ctx) { return fmt.Errorf("login required") }
    user, err = login.CurrentUser(ctx)
}

// check cookies before calling
if len(sessionCookies) == 0 { /* run login flow first */ }

func isNotLoggedIn(err error) bool {
    return strings.Contains(err.Error(), "current user not found in page state")
}

user, err := login.CurrentUser(ctx)
if isNotLoggedIn(err) {
    if !login.WaitForLogin(ctx) { return fmt.Errorf("login required") }
    user, err = login.CurrentUser(ctx)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling LoginAction.CurrentUser (xiaohongshu/login.go:62) on a page whose evaluated user-state JSON is empty — the browser session has no login cookies, or the site stores user info under a different state key than the script reads.

Common situations: Checking the current user before completing QR-code login; cookies expired so XHS logged the session out; xiaohongshu frontend changed the __INITIAL_STATE__ user path; running against a verification/redirect page instead of the main site.
