_declares_variable returned True unconditionally for TOOL nodes, so any invented downstream reference survived generation. ESQ1-296 and ESQ1-289 are the same three lines: code/simple_code is a TOOL node, so the real code-node validation directly above never saw it. They differ only in consumer -- End tolerates the missing variable and yields a silent null, if-else fails at run time and feeds the repair loop. Tool outputs are not opaque: tool_node.py fixes text/files/json and the generator already copies the provider's output_schema onto the node. Validate against both, and alias the invented `result` to `text` so the common mistake self-heals. SHARED WITH CMD+K: fails open when no output_schema is present, so a tool we cannot describe behaves exactly as before. Only provably-wrong references are rejected.

Dify Backend API
Setup and Run
Important
In the v1.3.0 release,
poetryhas been replaced withuvas the package manager for Dify API backend service.
uv and pnpm are required to run the setup and development commands below.
Using scripts (recommended)
The scripts resolve paths relative to their location, so you can run them from anywhere.
-
Run setup (copies env files and installs dependencies).
./dev/setup -
Review
api/.env,web/.env.local, anddocker/middleware.envvalues (see theSECRET_KEYnote below). -
Start middleware (PostgreSQL/Redis/Weaviate).
./dev/start-docker-compose -
Start backend (runs migrations first).
./dev/start-api -
Start Dify web service.
./dev/start-web./dev/setupand./dev/start-webinstall JavaScript dependencies through the repository root workspace, so you do not need a separatecd web && pnpm installstep. -
Set up your application by visiting
http://localhost:3000. -
Start the worker service (async and scheduler tasks, runs from
api)../dev/start-worker -
Optional: start Celery Beat (scheduled tasks).
./dev/start-beat
Environment notes
Important
When the frontend and backend run on different subdomains, set COOKIE_DOMAIN to the site’s top-level domain (e.g.,
example.com). The frontend and backend must be under the same top-level domain in order to share authentication cookies.
-
Generate a
SECRET_KEYin the.envfile.bash for Linux
sed -i "/^SECRET_KEY=/c\\SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -base64 42)" .envbash for Mac
secret_key=$(openssl rand -base64 42) sed -i '' "/^SECRET_KEY=/c\\ SECRET_KEY=${secret_key}" .env
Testing
-
Install dependencies for both the backend and the test environment
cd api uv sync --group dev -
Run the tests locally with mocked system environment variables in
tool.pytest_envsection inpyproject.toml, more can check AGENTS.mdContinue in the
apidirectory from the previous step.uv run pytest # Run all tests uv run pytest tests/unit_tests/ # Unit tests only uv run pytest tests/integration_tests/ # Integration tests # Code quality ../dev/reformat # Run all formatters and linters uv run ruff check --fix ./ # Fix linting issues uv run ruff format ./ # Format code uv run pyrefly check # Type checking
