Charles YaoandClaude Opus 4.8 cbb1487d6a fix(dify-builder): sync cards manifest to attached cards, cover remaining Build wirings
handle_test_and_repair's AssistantTurnItem.cards was unconditional even
though error/change_set cards are now only appended when
propose_build_repair returns intents -- the manifest claimed cards that
were never attached in the neutral (empty-repair) path. Make cards
conditional to match what's actually appended, and assert it in both
branches.

Remove three noqa comments added in the prior commit that suppressed
ARG001/ARG005 on new test code (the global constraint disallows noqa
for non-enabled rules); switch the genuinely-unused monkeypatch
args/lambda params to underscore-prefixed names instead, and drop a
build_nodes monkeypatch that exercised nothing. Add
test_remaining_build_methods_thread_model_and_tenant_args to cover
propose_plan_v1/discover_resources/bind_resources/build_nodes/
learn_from_build's model/tenant_id/model_config threading, matching
the existing analyze_goal coverage.

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 Claude.md

    cd api
    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
