Charles YaoandClaude Opus 5 674669f7a6 fix(dify-builder): carry the container start marker's ReactFlow type
The previous ESQ1-288 fix dropped the iteration/loop start marker, stripped
start_node_id from the container config and dropped the generator's container
entry edge. All three are required by the ENGINE, not just the canvas:
IterationNodeData.start_node_id / LoopNodeData.start_node_id have no default,
node data is validated eagerly at graph construction, and the body frame is
rooted at start_node_id. Every container workflow the Builder produced was
therefore non-runnable -- worse than the canvas crash it replaced.

The real root cause was never the marker node. The generator already emits it
with the correct node-level ReactFlow type ("custom-iteration-start" /
"custom-loop-start", runner.py:1350-1362); _build_node hardcoded "type":
"custom" and threw it away, leaving a node the frontend has no component for
(React error #130).

Carry it through instead, the same way the previous commit carried
parentId/position: a defaulted `flow_type` on _build_node / apply_create_node
(absent -> "custom", so every existing caller is byte-identical), set from the
source node's type in to_intents. The marker, start_node_id and the entry edge
are all persisted again.

Tests: the three tests that asserted the ABSENCE of the marker, start_node_id
and the entry edge are replaced by ones asserting their presence, plus the
round-trip test that would have caught this -- to_intents -> filter_applicable
-> APPLY_FNS -> IterationNodeData/LoopNodeData.model_validate on the persisted
container.

Dify Backend API

Setup and Run

Important

In the v1.3.0 release, poetry has been replaced with uv as the package manager for Dify API backend service.

uv and pnpm are required to run the setup and development commands below.

The scripts resolve paths relative to their location, so you can run them from anywhere.

  1. Run setup (copies env files and installs dependencies).

    ./dev/setup
    
  2. Review api/.env, web/.env.local, and docker/middleware.env values (see the SECRET_KEY note below).

  3. Start middleware (PostgreSQL/Redis/Weaviate).

    ./dev/start-docker-compose
    
  4. Start backend (runs migrations first).

    ./dev/start-api
    
  5. Start Dify web service.

    ./dev/start-web
    

    ./dev/setup and ./dev/start-web install JavaScript dependencies through the repository root workspace, so you do not need a separate cd web && pnpm install step.

  6. Set up your application by visiting http://localhost:3000.

  7. Start the worker service (async and scheduler tasks, runs from api).

    ./dev/start-worker
    
  8. 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_KEY in the .env file.

    bash for Linux

    sed -i "/^SECRET_KEY=/c\\SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -base64 42)" .env
    

    bash for Mac

    secret_key=$(openssl rand -base64 42)
    sed -i '' "/^SECRET_KEY=/c\\
    SECRET_KEY=${secret_key}" .env
    

Testing

  1. Install dependencies for both the backend and the test environment

    cd api
    uv sync --group dev
    
  2. Run the tests locally with mocked system environment variables in tool.pytest_env section in pyproject.toml, more can check AGENTS.md

    Continue in the api directory 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
