• This is a bug, not a usage question. For questions, please use GitHub Discussions.
• I added a clear and detailed title that summarizes the issue.
• I read what a minimal reproducible example is (https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example).
• I included a self-contained, minimal example that demonstrates the issue INCLUDING all the relevant imports. The code run AS IS to reproduce the issue.

Example Code

from typing import TypedDict
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START, END

class GraphState(TypedDict):
    query: str
    documents: list
    attempts: int

def retrieve_docs(state: GraphState):
    documents = []
    return {
        "documents": documents,
        "attempts": state["attempts"] + 1
    }

def grade_data(state: GraphState):
    return {}

workflow1 = StateGraph(GraphState)
workflow1.add_node("retrieve_docs", retrieve_docs)
workflow1.add_node("grade_data", grade_data)
workflow1.add_edge(START, "retrieve_docs")
workflow1.add_edge("retrieve_docs", "grade_data")
workflow1.add_edge("grade_data", END)

workflow2 = StateGraph(GraphState)
workflow2.add_node("retrieve docs", retrieve_docs)
workflow2.add_node("grade_data", grade_data)
workflow2.add_edge(START, "retrieve docs")
workflow2.add_edge("retrieve docs", "grade_data")
workflow2.add_edge("grade_data", END)

works = workflow1.compile()
fails = workflow2.compile()

For context, using langgraph without langgraph platform works properly.

So we'd need to look specifically at langgraph studio to see what's going on

from IPython.display import Image, display
from langchain_core.runnables.graph import CurveStyle, MermaidDrawMethod, NodeStyles

display(
    Image(
        works.get_graph().draw_mermaid_png(
            draw_method=MermaidDrawMethod.API,
        )
    )
)


display(
    Image(
        fails.get_graph().draw_mermaid_png(
            draw_method=MermaidDrawMethod.API,
        )
    )
)

Confirmed on langgraph platform

Looks like bug w/ UI since the data is present

{

    "nodes": [
        {
            "id": "__start__",
            "type": "schema",
            "data": "__start__"
        },
        {
            "id": "retrieve docs",
            "type": "runnable",
            "data": {
                "id": [
                    "langgraph",
                    "utils",
                    "runnable",
                    "RunnableCallable"
                ],
                "name": "retrieve docs"
            }

Hi,

I'm eager to contribute to this project and would love to work on this issue. Is it still open?

I checked the issue, and the LangGraph server correctly provides the graph data as mentioned. The problem seems to be with rendering the graph UI. Could you confirm where I can find the LangSmith frontend repo that contains the relevant code for this?

Looking forward to your guidance!

@dqbd i think this is fixed already, right?

Think that the issue is still happening? cc @lc-arjun
