Reusable MLServer test utilities for aiSSEMBLE Inference

aiSSEMBLE Inference Common Test Utilities

Reusable MLServer test utilities for aiSSEMBLE Inference modules and examples.

Overview

This module provides consolidated MLServer lifecycle management utilities to eliminate code duplication across test suites. It offers two primary usage patterns:

1. Simple mode: For examples with static model directories
2. Dynamic mode: For module tests with temporary config generation

Installation

# As a test dependency in pyproject.toml
[dependency-groups]
test = [
    "aissemble-inference-common-test",
]

[tool.uv.sources]
aissemble-inference-common-test = { path = "../aissemble-inference-common-test", editable = true }

Usage

Simple Mode (Examples)

For tests that use pre-configured model directories:

# tests/features/environment.py
from pathlib import Path
from aissemble_inference_common_test.behave_helpers import (
    setup_mlserver_simple,
    teardown_mlserver,
)

def before_all(context):
    example_dir = Path(__file__).parent.parent.parent
    models_dir = example_dir / "models"

    setup_mlserver_simple(context, models_dir=models_dir, port=8080)
    context.mlserver_fixture.start()

def after_all(context):
    teardown_mlserver(context)

Dynamic Mode (Module Tests)

For tests that generate model configurations dynamically:

# tests/features/environment.py
from aissemble_inference_common_test.behave_helpers import (
    setup_mlserver_dynamic,
    teardown_mlserver,
    start_mlserver_with_model,
)

def before_all(context):
    setup_mlserver_dynamic(context)

def after_scenario(context, scenario):
    if hasattr(context, "mlserver_fixture") and context.mlserver_fixture.process:
        context.mlserver_fixture.stop()

def after_all(context):
    teardown_mlserver(context)

# In your step definitions:
start_mlserver_with_model(
    context,
    model_name="yolo",
    runtime="aissemble_inference_yolo.YOLORuntime",
    model="yolov8n.pt"
)

Features

• Process Management: Robust MLServer subprocess handling with zombie process detection
• Health Checking: Automatic polling of /v2/health/ready endpoint
• Graceful Shutdown: Terminate with timeout, then kill if needed (with safety timeouts)
• Dynamic Port Allocation: Automatic free port discovery
• Config Generation: JSON settings and model-settings creation
• Context Manager Support: Automatic cleanup with Python with statement
• Error Logging: Detailed warnings for cleanup and shutdown failures
• Backward Compatible: Drop-in replacement for existing test code

API Reference

MLServerFixture

Main fixture class for MLServer lifecycle management.

Basic Usage

from aissemble_inference_common_test import MLServerFixture

# Simple mode
fixture = MLServerFixture.simple(port=8080, models_dir=Path("models"))
fixture.start()

# Dynamic mode
fixture = MLServerFixture.dynamic()
fixture.start_with_model(
    model_name="yolo",
    runtime="aissemble_inference_yolo.YOLORuntime",
    model="yolov8n.pt"
)

# Cleanup
fixture.stop()
fixture.cleanup()

Context Manager Usage (Recommended)

For automatic cleanup even when tests fail:

from aissemble_inference_common_test import MLServerFixture
from pathlib import Path

# Simple mode with context manager
with MLServerFixture.simple(port=8080, models_dir=Path("models")) as fixture:
    fixture.start()
    # Run tests...
    # Automatic cleanup on exit

# Dynamic mode with context manager
with MLServerFixture.dynamic() as fixture:
    fixture.start_with_model(
        model_name="yolo",
        runtime="aissemble_inference_yolo.YOLORuntime",
        model="yolov8n.pt"
    )
    # Run tests...
    # Automatic stop() and cleanup() on exit, even if exception occurs

Behave Helpers

• setup_mlserver_simple(context, models_dir, port) - Initialize simple fixture
• setup_mlserver_dynamic(context) - Initialize dynamic fixture
• start_mlserver_with_model(context, model_name, runtime, **params) - Start with config
• teardown_mlserver(context) - Cleanup and shutdown
