Dev Environment Setup

This project uses Invoke for dev automation. You can view the list of available commands with:

inv -l

New commands / updates can be made to the tasks.py file.

1. Install dependencies

Setup a virtualenv and install requirements:

python -m venv venv
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt

Python 3.11 is recommended.

2. Run the automated setup

inv setup-dev-env

This will:

Install the pre-commit hooks

pre-commit install --install-hooks

Set up database

Start the database and redis services and run the DB migrations:

docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up -d  # equivalent of `inv up`
cp .env.example .env
./manage.py migrate

Build the front-end resources

To build JavaScript and CSS files, first install npm packages:

inv npm --install
# or
npm install
npm run dev

Note

You should be using node >= 18.0.0. If you have nvm installed, you can run nvm use to switch to the correct version.

To check which version you are using use node --version.

Create a superuser

./manage.py createsuperuser

Running server

./manage.py runserver

Running Celery

Celery can be used to run background tasks.

Note: Celery is required to run in order to get a response from an LLM, so you'll need to run this if you want to test end-to-end conversations.

You can run it using:

inv celery
# or
celery -A gpt_playground worker -l INFO -B --pool=solo

To run a celery process more similar to production, you can use the following command:

inv celery --gevent
# or
celery -A gpt_playground worker -l INFO -B --pool gevent --concurrency 10

Updating translations

inv translations

Updating requirements

inv requirements

Options:
  -p STRING, --upgrade-package=STRING

Installing Git commit hooks

To install the Git commit hooks run the following:

$ pre-commit install --install-hooks

Once these are installed they will be run on every commit.

Running Tests

To run tests:

pytest

Or to test a specific app/module:

pytest apps/utils/tests/test_slugs.py

Notes

Signup page

By default the signup page is disabled. To enable it, you should set the SIGNUP_ENABLED environment variable to true

Testing webhooks

To test the webhooks, you can use a tool like ngrok to forward webhook data to your local machine.

Auditing

We use the django-field-audit library for auditing. Please see the table of audited methods and familiarize yourself on how to audit "special" functions like QuerySet.bulk_create().

Linting

We use ruff for linting and formatting. You can run it directly or with the inv ruff command:

Usage: inv ruff [--options]

Docstring:
  Run ruff checks and formatting. Use --unsafe-fixes to apply unsafe fixes.

  -n, --no-fix
  -u, --unsafe-fixes
