Failed to start Lark connection setup.

Error message

Failed to start Lark connection setup.

What it means

Generic 500 catch-all for POST /lark/config/start (integrations.py:304). Any exception from start_lark_config not classified as FileNotFoundError/ValueError/TimeoutError — e.g. urllib URLError wrapping a DNS failure, JSON decode errors, or lock-file OSError — is logged with traceback and returned as this opaque 500.

Solutions

  1. Read the Gateway log line 'Failed to start Lark connection setup:' for the traceback
  2. Verify the Gateway can resolve and POST to https://accounts.feishu.cn
  3. Check write permissions on the integration state directory for the Gateway user
  4. Retry once after fixing; a fresh start re-advances the flow generation safely
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Try / catch

try { ... } catch (e) {
  if (e?.response?.status === 500) captureMessage('lark config start failed', { extra: e.response.data });
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: socket.gaierror/URLError from unreachable accounts.feishu.cn, permission errors writing the per-user Lark flow state file, or an unexpected response shape from the begin endpoint.

Common situations: Gateway running with a read-only home directory, SELinux denying writes to the credential tree, or transient network errors that raise URLError instead of a timeout.
