DashScope generation failed: {e}

Error message

DashScope generation failed: {e}

What it means

generate_image wraps the DashScope image generation call: any exception from the DashScope SDK is logged and re-raised as RuntimeError('DashScope generation failed: {e}') with the original attached as __cause__.

Solutions

1. Inspect the chained cause (__cause__) for the underlying SDK error
2. Verify DASHSCOPE_API_KEY validity and account quota
3. Confirm the model name and size string match DashScope's supported values
4. Retry with backoff for transient network errors

Example fix

// before
try:
    paths = gen.generate_image(prompt=p)
except Exception:
    pass
// after
try:
    paths = gen.generate_image(prompt=p)
except RuntimeError as e:
    logging.error("cause=%s", e.__cause__)
    paths = fallback_provider.generate_image(prompt=p)

import os
assert os.environ.get("DASHSCOPE_API_KEY"), "DASHSCOPE_API_KEY required"
assert model in SUPPORTED_DASHSCOPE_MODELS

try:
    paths = gen.generate_image(prompt=p)
except RuntimeError as e:
    logging.error("dashscope failed: %s; cause: %s", e, e.__cause__)
    paths = fallback.generate_image(prompt=p)

When it happens

Trigger: Any failure inside the DashScope ImageGeneration call: invalid API key, quota exceeded, network timeout, invalid model/size parameters, malformed prompt, or SDK-level errors.

Common situations: Expired or wrong DashScope API key; requesting a size unsupported by the model; regional network issues reaching DashScope; model name typo (e.g. wan2.7-image not enabled for the account).
