Summary of Changes
Hello @MervinPraison, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request addresses a critical bug where PraisonAI agents failed to terminate properly due to lingering background telemetry threads. The core solution involves adding a robust cleanup mechanism for the telemetry system, ensuring that the program exits cleanly after an agent completes its task. This change significantly improves the user experience by eliminating the need for manual process termination.
Highlights
- Fix for Agent Termination: Implemented a solution to prevent PraisonAI agents from hanging after completing their tasks, addressing a critical issue where background telemetry threads kept the program alive.
- Telemetry Cleanup Mechanism: Introduced a new private method
_cleanup_telemetry()responsible for gracefully shutting down the telemetry system. - Robust Cleanup Integration: Integrated the telemetry cleanup into both synchronous (
start()) and asynchronous (astart()) agent execution flows usingtry-finallyblocks to ensure cleanup occurs reliably, even if errors arise during agent execution. - New Test Cases: Added multiple new test scripts (
simple_test.py,test_fix.py,test_termination_issue.py) to verify the fix and provide a way to reproduce the original hanging issue.

🧹 Nitpick comments (5)
test_termination_issue.py (2)
1-30: Consider relocating test files to tests/ directory and adding timeout mechanism.Based on the retrieved learnings, test files should be placed in the
tests/directory. Additionally, this test lacks a timeout mechanism to detect if the program hangs, unliketest_fix.pywhich implements a 30-second timeout using signals.Consider moving this file to
tests/test_termination_issue.pyand adding a timeout mechanism:+import signal + +def timeout_handler(signum, frame): + print("ERROR: Test timed out - program is hanging!") + sys.exit(1) + +signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, timeout_handler) +signal.alarm(30) # 30 second timeout + try: from praisonaiagents import Agent # ... rest of test logic +finally: + signal.alarm(0) # Cancel timeout
22-23: Test function always returns True regardless of execution.The test function always returns
Trueeven if the agent execution fails silently. This makes the return value meaningless for determining test success.Consider removing the return value or making it more meaningful:
- # If this completes without hanging, the fix works - return True + # If this completes without hanging, the fix works + print("Test completed successfully")test_fix.py (2)
8-9: Remove unused imports.Static analysis correctly identifies unused imports that should be removed.
-import time -from threading import Timer
36-36: Remove unnecessary f-string prefix.The f-string doesn't contain any placeholders, so the
fprefix is unnecessary.- print(f"Agent completed successfully!") + print("Agent completed successfully!")simple_test.py (1)
1-36: Consider adding timeout mechanism and relocating to tests/ directory.This test provides good debugging information with response type and length logging. However, for consistency with
test_fix.pyand alignment with retrieved learnings, consider adding a timeout mechanism and placing the file in thetests/directory.

src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/agent/agent.py (3)
1943-1955: LGTM! Well-implemented telemetry cleanup method.The implementation properly addresses the telemetry cleanup requirements:
- Uses local imports to avoid circular dependencies
- Safely handles exceptions to prevent cleanup failures from affecting main execution
- Checks for telemetry existence and shutdown method before calling
- Appropriate debug-level logging for errors
1930-1937: Excellent implementation of telemetry cleanup in async start method.The try-finally structure ensures that telemetry cleanup occurs regardless of whether the
achatcall succeeds or fails. This directly addresses the termination issue described in the PR objectives while preserving the method's original behavior.
1957-1964: Perfect implementation of telemetry cleanup in synchronous start method.The try-finally structure ensures that telemetry cleanup occurs regardless of whether the
chatcall succeeds or fails. This implementation is consistent with theastartmethod and properly addresses the termination issue for both synchronous and asynchronous execution paths.test_fix.py (2)
14-21: Excellent timeout mechanism implementation.The signal-based timeout mechanism is well-implemented and provides robust detection of hanging programs. The 30-second timeout is appropriate for this type of test.
47-49: Proper cleanup in finally block.Good practice ensuring the alarm is cancelled regardless of how the test completes.
simple_test.py (2)
23-25: Excellent debugging information for response analysis.The response type and length logging provides valuable debugging information that helps verify the agent is returning expected data structures.
21-21: Good use of complex prompt for comprehensive testing.Using a more complex prompt ("Write a movie script about a robot on Mars") helps test the agent's handling of substantial responses, which is valuable for verifying the termination fix works with longer-running operations.

Code Review
This pull request resolves a critical agent termination issue by ensuring the telemetry system's background threads are properly shut down using a try...finally block. The review identifies a potential side-effect of the telemetry cleanup that could affect applications running multiple agents and suggests improving the portability of the new test scripts to run on non-Unix platforms.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The cleanup method correctly resolves the agent termination issue for single-run scenarios. However, it introduces a potential issue in applications that execute multiple agents sequentially within the same process.
get_telemetry() returns a global singleton instance of the telemetry collector. This method calls shutdown() on that singleton instance. Once shut down, the telemetry instance cannot be reused, and subsequent calls to tracking methods will likely be ignored. Therefore, if another agent is started in the same process, its activities will not be recorded by telemetry.
A complete solution would likely involve modifying get_telemetry() to re-initialize the telemetry system if the existing instance has been shut down. Since that's outside the changed files in this PR, this is a known limitation of the current fix. For many use cases where a script runs a single agent and exits, this fix is perfectly fine.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The use of signal.SIGALRM is specific to Unix-like systems and will raise an AttributeError on Windows. To make this test more portable, wrap this call in a platform check. A corresponding check will be needed in the finally block as well.
| # Set up signal handler for timeout | |
| signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, timeout_handler) | |

| # Cancel the alarm | ||
| signal.alarm(0) No newline at end of file |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
To complement the platform check for setting the alarm, this call to cancel the alarm should also be conditional to avoid errors on Windows.
| # Cancel the alarm | |
| signal.alarm(0) | |
| if sys.platform != "win32": | |
| signal.alarm(0) |

Bug: Telemetry Cleanup Premature During Streaming
When streaming is enabled in the start() method, the _cleanup_telemetry() method in the finally block executes immediately upon _start_stream() returning a generator. This prematurely shuts down telemetry before the generator is consumed, potentially disrupting ongoing streaming operations.

Bug: Windows Incompatibility with Unix-Specific Timeout Handling
The test script uses signal.SIGALRM and signal.alarm() for timeout handling. These are Unix-specific features, causing an AttributeError and test failure on Windows systems due to their unavailability, thus preventing cross-platform compatibility.

Summary
This PR fixes the critical issue where PraisonAI agents would not terminate properly after completing their tasks, requiring users to manually interrupt the program with Ctrl+C.
Root Cause: The telemetry system spawns background threads that continue running after agent completion, preventing program termination.
Fix: Added proper telemetry cleanup in Agent.start() and Agent.astart() methods using try-finally blocks.
Impact: ✅ Program now terminates properly ✅ Maintains full backward compatibility ✅ No breaking changes
Closes #987
