Closes #2000.

Problem

playErrorMessage.ts:10 replaced any "no results found" error with "Music sources are currently unreachable" whenever the YouTube extractor was flagged degraded:

if (isNoResultsError && isExtractorDegraded('youtube')) {
    return 'Music sources are currently unreachable. Please try again in a few minutes.'
}

It keyed only on that global flag plus a message regex — nothing tied the error to the extractor that actually produced it.

But a text search does not stop at YouTube. resolveQueryWithFallbacks tries Spotify, then SoundCloud. So a user searching a song that genuinely does not exist got told the sources were unreachable, when the healthy fallback engines had answered normally and correctly found nothing.

Change

Scoped to queries only the degraded extractor could have served, using the detectQueryType helper that already exists in play/queryDetector.ts — the discriminator the issue said was missing:

With no query supplied the two cases are indistinguishable, so it returns the generic message rather than guessing an outage. The parameter is optional, so no other caller breaks.

Why not discriminate on the extractor id in the error

The error reaching this function is whatever the last fallback arm threw — SoundCloud's — even when the query is a YouTube URL that only YouTube could serve. Production confirms the id is in the message (... (Extractor: com.discord-player.itsmaat.spotifyextractor)), but it names the arm that failed last, not the capability that was missing. Keying on the query type answers the actual question: could a healthy engine have served this at all?

Tests

7 total, 3 new and all verified failing before this change:

  • text search that found nothing does not claim an outage
  • Spotify URL while YouTube is degraded does not claim an outage
  • no query supplied stays generic instead of guessing

The original YouTube case is kept and now passes a YouTube URL, so the #1929 behaviour is still pinned.

Full bot suite: 3157 passed, 1 skipped. Typecheck clean across all four packages.


Summary by cubic

Stops misreporting an outage on “no results found” when healthy fallbacks answered. Before: any “no results found” while YouTube was degraded showed an outage. Now: only YouTube URLs that only YouTube could serve show the outage; text searches and non‑YouTube URLs return the accurate sanitized message.

  • Scopes the outage message in resolvePlayErrorMessage using detectQueryType; triggers only for YouTube queries when isExtractorDegraded('youtube') is true.
  • Adds an optional query?: string to resolvePlayErrorMessage and passes it from playHandler; other call sites remain valid. Without a query, returns the generic sanitized message from @lucky/shared/utils/general/errorSanitizer.
  • Adds tests for text search, Spotify URL, and no‑query paths; keeps the original YouTube URL case.

Written for commit 8be638d. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved music playback error messages during YouTube service disruptions.
    • YouTube outage guidance now appears only for applicable YouTube links.
    • Text searches, Spotify links, and missing queries now receive a generic helpful error instead of an inaccurate outage message.

resolvePlayErrorMessage replaced any "no results found" error with
"Music sources are currently unreachable" whenever the YouTube extractor
was flagged degraded. It keyed only on that global flag plus a message
regex, with nothing tying the error to the extractor that produced it.

A text search does not stop at YouTube: resolveQueryWithFallbacks tries
Spotify and SoundCloud after it. So a user searching a song that genuinely
does not exist got told the sources were unreachable, when the healthy
fallback engines had answered normally and correctly found nothing.

Scopes the override to queries only the degraded extractor could have
served, using the existing detectQueryType helper: a youtube.com/youtu.be
URL cannot be served by Spotify or SoundCloud, so if YouTube is degraded
that really is an outage for the user. A text search or a Spotify URL
falling through to healthy engines is not.

With no query supplied the two cases are indistinguishable, so it returns
the accurate generic message instead of guessing an outage.

Adds 3 cases, all failing before this change: text search that found
nothing, spotify URL while youtube is degraded, and the no-query path.
The original youtube case is kept and now passes a youtube URL.

Closes #2000.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

resolvePlayErrorMessage now uses the original query to scope YouTube degradation messages. Tests cover YouTube URLs, text searches, Spotify URLs, and missing queries. The play handler passes the query to the resolver.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to eddd2

Some searches or unrelated URLs containing YouTube text can still be incorrectly reported as a source outage when YouTube is degraded. The query classification should validate an actual YouTube URL and include a regression test before merge.

Assert the generic no-results message directly.

These tests only verify that the outage message is absent. They still pass if the resolver returns an unrelated error. Assert the expected generic no-results message, or at least a stable No results found substring, for both text searches and Spotify URLs.

Looks safe to merge — no coupling regressions and no blocking issues, checked against the code graph (not a self-assessment).


Graphify review — findings

Scopes the "Music sources are currently unreachable" error message to queries only YouTube could have served by adding a query parameter to resolvePlayErrorMessage and gating the outage message behind detectQueryType(query) === 'youtube'. Falls back to the generic sanitized message for text searches, non-YouTube URLs, and missing queries, since fallback extractors would have answered those. Threads query through the executePlayHandler call site.

No blocking issues surfaced. 2 lower-confidence candidates did not survive cross-model review.

Graphify review — findings

Scopes the "Music sources are currently unreachable" message in resolvePlayErrorMessage to no-results errors where the query is a YouTube URL, using detectQueryType, so text searches and non-YouTube URLs that fall through to healthy extractors no longer report a false outage (#2000). resolvePlayErrorMessage now takes an optional query and falls back to the generic sanitized message when it's absent; executePlayHandler passes query through.

No blocking issues surfaced. 1 lower-confidence candidate did not survive cross-model review.
