Task creation failed: No task ID returned

Error message

Task creation failed: No task ID returned: {response_data}

What it means

Raised when the Xiaowu create-task API returned code '0000' but the data.executionId field is missing or empty. The call 'succeeded' per the API contract, yet no task identifier was produced, so the caller cannot poll status later.

Solutions

1. Log/inspect response_data and confirm the actual field name for the task ID
2. Verify you are calling the correct environment (prod vs stub) with the matching API contract
3. Ask the upstream team about the successful-but-empty response
4. Add a schema check/assertion on the expected response shape

Example fix

// before
task_id = data.get("executionId", None)
// after
task_id = data.get("executionId") or data.get("execution_id")  # tolerate contract variants
if not task_id:
    raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=f"Task creation failed: No task ID returned: {response_data}")

data = response_data.get("data") or {}
if not (data.get("executionId") or data.get("execution_id")):
    raise ValueError(f"No executionId in creation response: {response_data}")

def has_task_id(data: dict | None) -> bool:
    return bool(isinstance(data, dict) and (data.get("executionId") or data.get("execution_id")))

When it happens

Trigger: response_data['code'] == '0000' but response_data['data'] is missing 'executionId' or it is None/empty string.

Common situations: Upstream API contract change (executionId renamed or nested differently), upstream bug returning success envelope with empty payload, environment pointing at a stub/mock service.

Understand the failure class

Background: "invalid response format", "malformed payload", "missing data field": when an API returns 200 but the response shape is wrong — this error's family across 23 libraries.
