slack channel for feedback.
-
Make sure to have Git, pip, Python3.9+, and PDM installed.
Optionally, make sure to have GNU Make available on your system if you aren't using a UNIX-based system for a better developer experience. If you don't want to use
make
then please refer to the Makefile for specific commands on a given make target. -
Fork the BentoML project on GitHub.
-
Clone the source code from your fork of BentoML's GitHub repository:
git clone git@github.com:username/BentoML.git && cd BentoML
-
Add the BentoML upstream remote to your local BentoML clone:
git remote add upstream git@github.com:bentoml/BentoML.git
-
Configure git to pull from the upstream remote:
git switch main # ensure you're on the main branch git fetch upstream --tags git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream/main
-
Install BentoML in editable and all development dependencies:
pdm install -G all pre-commit install
This installs BentoML with editable mode via
pdm
and development dependencies in a isolated environment. If you wish not to setup within an isolated environment, pass--no-isolation
to pdmNote: Make sure to prepend
pdm run
to all commands within this guide if you are using isolated environment viapdm
. -
Test the BentoML installation either with
bash
:bentoml --version
or in a Python session:
import bentoml print(bentoml.__version__)
-
Confirm that you have the following installed:
- Python3.9+
- VS Code with the Python and Pylance extensions
-
Fork the BentoML project on GitHub.
-
Clone the GitHub repository:
- Open the command palette with Ctrl+Shift+P and type in 'clone'.
- Select 'Git: Clone(Recursive)'.
- Clone BentoML.
-
Add an BentoML upstream remote:
- Open the command palette and enter 'add remote'.
- Select 'Git: Add Remote'.
- Press enter to select 'Add remote' from GitHub.
- Enter https://github.com/bentoml/BentoML.git to select the BentoML repository.
- Name your remote 'upstream'.
-
Pull from the BentoML upstream remote to your main branch:
- Open the command palette and enter 'checkout'.
- Select 'Git: Checkout to...'
- Choose 'main' to switch to the main branch.
- Open the command palette again and enter 'pull from'.
- Click on 'Git: Pull from...'
- Select 'upstream'.
-
Open a new terminal by clicking the Terminal dropdown at the top of the window, followed by the 'New Terminal' option. Next, add a virtual environment with this command:
python -m venv .venv
-
Click yes if a popup suggests switching to the virtual environment. Otherwise, go through these steps:
-
Update your PowerShell execution policies. Win+x followed by the 'a' key opens the admin Windows PowerShell. Enter the following command to allow the virtual environment activation script to run:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
-
Make sure you're on the main branch.
git switch main
-
Use the git pull command to retrieve content from the BentoML Github repository.
git pull
-
Create a new branch and switch to it.
git switch -c my-new-branch-name
-
Make your changes!
-
Use the git add command to save the state of files you have changed.
git add <names of the files you have changed>
-
Commit your changes.
git commit
-
Push all changes to your fork on GitHub.
git push
-
Switch to the main branch:
- Open the command palette with Ctrl+Shift+P.
- Search for 'Git: Checkout to...'
- Select 'main'.
-
Pull from the upstream remote:
- Open the command palette.
- Enter and select 'Git: Pull...'
- Select 'upstream'.
-
Create and change to a new branch:
- Type in 'Git: Create Branch...' in the command palette.
- Enter a branch name.
-
Make your changes!
-
Stage all your changes:
- Enter and select 'Git: Stage All Changes...' in the command palette.
-
Commit your changes:
- Open the command palette and enter 'Git: Commit'.
-
Push your changes:
- Enter and select 'Git: Push...' in the command palette.
To view internal debug loggings for development, set the BENTOML_DEBUG
environment variable to TRUE
:
export BENTOML_DEBUG=TRUE
And/or use the --verbose
option when running bentoml
CLI command, e.g.:
bentoml get IrisClassifier --verbose
We are using pre-commit to manage our hooks, and
buf for formatting and linting of our proto
files. Configuration can be found here. Currently, we
are running buf
with docker, hence we kindly ask our developers to have docker
available. Docker installation can be found
here.
Run linter/format script:
pre-commit run --all-files
Run type checker:
make type
The proto files for the BentoML gRPC service are located under bentoml/grpc
.
The generated python files are not checked in the git repository, and are instead generated via this script
.
If you edit the proto files, make sure to run ./scripts/generate_grpc_stubs.sh
to
regenerate the proto stubs.
Test out your changes in an actual BentoML model deployment, you can create a new Bento with your custom BentoML source repo:
- Install custom BentoML in editable mode. e.g.:
- git clone your bentoml fork
pip install -e PATH_TO_THE_FORK
- Set env var
export BENTOML_BUNDLE_LOCAL_BUILD=True
- Build a new Bento with
bentoml build
in your project directory - The new Bento will include a wheel file built from the BentoML source, and
bentoml containerize
will install it to override the default BentoML installation in base image
If you want other team members to easily use your custom BentoML distribution, you may publish your branch to your fork of BentoML, and have your users install it this way:
pip install git+https://github.com/{YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME}/bentoml@{YOUR_REVISION}
And in your BentoML projects' bentofile.yaml
, force the Bento to install this distribution, e.g.:
service: 'service:svc'
description: 'file: ./README.md'
include:
- '*.py'
python:
packages:
- pandas
- git+https://github.com/{YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME}/bentoml@{YOUR_REVISION}
docker:
system_packages:
- git
Make sure to install all dev dependencies:
pdm install
BentoML tests come with a Pytest plugin. Export PYTEST_PLUGINS
:
export PYTEST_PLUGINS=bentoml.testing.pytest.plugin
To run all tests with PDM, do the following:
pdm run nox
If you are adding new ML framework support, it is recommended that you also add a separate test suite in our CI. Currently we are using GitHub Actions to manage our CI/CD workflow.
We recommend using nektos/act
to run and test Actions locally.
Add a new job for your new framework under framework.yml
Currently, BentoML is PEP518 compatible. We define package configuration via [pyproject.toml
][https://github.com/bentoml/bentoml/blob/main/pyproject.toml].
BentoML has moved its benchmark to bentoml/benchmark
.
Push changes to your fork and follow this article on how to create a pull request on github. Name your pull request with one of the following prefixes, e.g. "feat: add support for PyTorch". This is based on the Conventional Commits specification
- feat: (new feature for the user, not a new feature for build script)
- fix: (bug fix for the user, not a fix to a build script)
- docs: (changes to the documentation)
- style: (formatting, missing semicolons, etc; no production code change)
- refactor: (refactoring production code, eg. renaming a variable)
- perf: (code changes that improve performance)
- test: (adding missing tests, refactoring tests; no production code change)
- chore: (updating grunt tasks etc; no production code change)
- build: (changes that affect the build system or external dependencies)
- ci: (changes to configuration files and scripts)
- revert: (reverts a previous commit)
Once your pull request is created, an automated test run will be triggered on your branch and the BentoML authors will be notified to review your code changes. Once tests are passed and a reviewer has signed off, we will merge your pull request.
Refer to BentoML Documentation Guide for how to build and write docs.
