CRSCambridge Reader Scraper

Troubleshooting

Common issues and the fixes that usually matter.

No books are detected

Run:

cambridge-reader-scraper inspect

If nothing appears, make sure Cambridge Reader has downloaded the book locally. You can also point the CLI at a custom folder:

cambridge-reader-scraper inspect --userdata ./userdata

Playwright browser not found

Install Chromium for Playwright:

pnpm dlx playwright install chromium
npx playwright install chromium
bunx playwright install chromium

Or pass an explicit path with --browser.

I want a non-interactive script run

Use --no-tui and pass --outdir to skip the prompt:

cambridge-reader-scraper reconstruct --no-tui --outdir ./pdfs

Shell completion is not loading

  1. Make sure you wrote the completion file to the right shell-specific directory.
  2. Reload your shell config.
  3. Re-run cambridge-reader-scraper completion <shell> after upgrading the CLI.
