DashScope ASR submit succeeded but did not return output.tas

Error message

DashScope ASR submit succeeded but did not return output.task_id

What it means

Raised by the DashScope ASR tool (tools/analysis/dashscope_asr.py) when the async submit POST to the file-transcription endpoint returns HTTP success and passes the error-field check, but output.task_id is absent from the JSON. Without a task_id there is nothing to poll, so the run aborts.

Solutions

1. Print/log submit_data to see what the service actually returned — an error body without matching error fields is the usual cause
2. Verify the model name is exactly qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans and the payload matches current DashScope docs
3. Confirm the API key has ASR/file-transcription enabled on the DashScope console
4. Check the SUBMIT_URL matches the documented region endpoint

Example fix

// before
task_id = submit_data.get('output', {}).get('task_id')

// after (diagnose before failing)
task_id = (submit_data.get('output') or {}).get('task_id')
if not task_id:
    raise RuntimeError(
        f'DashScope ASR submit returned no task_id; full body: {submit_data}'
    )

def submit_response_has_task_id(data: dict) -> bool:
    return bool((data.get('output') or {}).get('task_id'))

try:
    result = tool.run(inputs)
except RuntimeError as e:
    if 'output.task_id' in str(e):
        logger.error('submit body: %s', getattr(e, 'submit_data', '<not captured>'))
        # check model name / key permissions, then retry
    raise

When it happens

Trigger: Submitting a transcription job with a wrong/misspelled model name (must be qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans), a payload the service soft-rejects into a non-standard body, or an API response-shape change where the task id moved to another field.

Common situations: Typo in the model parameter; using a parameter schema from a different DashScope ASR version; regional endpoint differences; DASHSCOPE_API_KEY valid for another service but transcription not enabled for the account.
