Knowledge base pipeline, running file node prompts to authorize first, no authorization entry found.

Hi @zhouwenchao8426-blip! I'm Dosu and I'm helping the Dify team.

This is a bug tracked in issue #39724. The list_rag_pipeline_datasources function in rag_pipeline_manage_service.py runs an authorization check against all data source providers — including built-in ones like local file upload that have an empty credentials_schema and don't require credentials. Since no credentials exist for these providers, is_authorized stays False, which produces the "please authorize first / no authorization entry found" error [1].

Workaround (for self-hosted / Docker deployments):

1. Enter the API container: docker exec -it <api_container_name> sh

2. Edit api/services/rag_pipeline/rag_pipeline_manage_service.py and add this check at the top of the for datasource in datasources: loop:

   if not datasource.declaration.credentials_schema:
       datasource.is_authorized = True
       continue

3. Restart the API container: docker restart <api_container_name>

This skips the credential check for providers that don't need credentials, so the File node shows as authorized. This workaround has been confirmed effective by other users.

PR #39772 was opened to fix this properly — you can track it there for when an official release includes the fix [2].
