RAGFlow response missing dataset id

Error message

RAGFlow response missing dataset id

What it means

Response-shape guard when transforming a RAGFlow dataset creation response: the JSON parsed fine and the error code was 0, but the 'data' object carries no dataset id, so the created store cannot be referenced and the transformation fails.

Solutions

1. Check the RAGFlow API response; dataset creation failed or returned an unexpected payload.
2. Verify RAGFLOW_API_KEY, api_base, and the RAGFlow server version.

Example fix

# log the raw response from RAGFlow to see why no dataset id was returned.

When it happens

Trigger: Triggered when the RAGFlow dataset creation response does not contain a dataset id.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
