# FSS-Mini-RAG Distribution Testing Summary
|
|
|
|
## What We've Built
|
|
|
|
### 🏗️ **Complete Distribution Infrastructure**
|
|
1. **Enhanced pyproject.toml** - Proper metadata for PyPI publication
|
|
2. **Install Scripts** - One-line installers for Linux/macOS (`install.sh`) and Windows (`install.ps1`)
|
|
3. **Build Scripts** - Zipapp builder (`scripts/build_pyz.py`)
|
|
4. **GitHub Actions** - Automated wheel building and PyPI publishing
|
|
5. **Documentation** - Updated README with modern installation methods
|
|
6. **Testing Framework** - Comprehensive testing infrastructure
|
|
|
|
### 📦 **Installation Methods Implemented**
|
|
- **One-line installers** (auto-detects best method)
|
|
- **uv** - Ultra-fast package manager
|
|
- **pipx** - Isolated tool installation
|
|
- **pip** - Traditional method
|
|
- **zipapp** - Single-file portable distribution
|
|
|
|

## Current Test Tools
|
|
|
|
### 📝 **Automated Test Scripts**
|
|
1. **`scripts/validate_setup.py`** - File structure validation (✅ Working)
|
|
2. **`scripts/phase1_basic_tests.py`** - Basic structure tests (✅ Working)
|
|
3. **`scripts/phase2_build_tests.py`** - Package building tests (🔄 Running)
|
|
4. **`scripts/setup_test_environments.py`** - Multi-version env setup (📦 Complex)
|
|
|
|
### 🛠️ **Manual Test Commands**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Quick validation
|
|
python scripts/validate_setup.py
|
|
|
|
# Structure tests
|
|
python scripts/phase1_basic_tests.py
|
|
|
|
# Build tests
|
|
python scripts/phase2_build_tests.py
|
|
|
|
# Manual builds
|
|
make build # Source + wheel
|
|
make build-pyz # Zipapp
|
|
make test-dist # Validation
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Issues Identified
|
|
|
|
### ⚠️ **Current Blockers**
|
|
1. **Dependencies** - Full testing requires installing heavy ML dependencies
|
|
2. **Environment Setup** - Multiple Python versions not available on current system
|
|
3. **Zipapp Size** - May be very large due to numpy/torch dependencies
|
|
4. **Network Tests** - Install scripts need real network testing
|
|
|
|
### 🔧 **Mitigations**
|
|
- **Staged Testing** - Test structure first, then functionality
|
|
- **Container Testing** - Use Docker for clean environments
|
|
- **Dependency Isolation** - Test core CLI without heavy ML deps
|
|
- **Mock Network** - Local package server testing
|
|
|
|
## Deployment Strategy
|
|
|
|
### 🚀 **Safe Deployment Path**
|
|
|
|
#### **Stage 1: TestPyPI Validation**
|
|
1. Complete Phase 2 build tests
|
|
2. Upload to TestPyPI
|
|
3. Test installation from TestPyPI
|
|
4. Verify all install methods work
|
|
|
|
#### **Stage 2: GitHub Release Testing**
|
|
1. Create test release on fork
|
|
2. Validate GitHub Actions workflow
|
|
3. Test automated wheel building
|
|
4. Verify release assets
|
|
|
|
#### **Stage 3: Production Release**
|
|
1. Final validation on clean systems
|
|
2. Documentation review
|
|
3. Create production release
|
|
4. Monitor installation success rates
|
|
|
|
### 📊 **Success Criteria**
|
|
|
|
For each phase, we need:
|
|
- **95%+ test pass rate**
|
|
- **Installation time < 5 minutes**
|
|
- **Clear error messages** for failures
|
|
- **Cross-platform compatibility**
|
|
- **Fallback mechanisms working**
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps (Priority Order)
|
|
|
|
1. **Complete Phase 2** - Finish build testing
|
|
2. **Test Built Packages** - Verify they install and run
|
|
3. **Container Testing** - Test install scripts in Docker
|
|
4. **Fork Testing** - Test GitHub Actions in controlled environment
|
|
5. **TestPyPI Release** - Safe production test
|
|
6. **Clean System Testing** - Final validation
|
|
7. **Production Release** - Go live
|
|
|
|
## Estimated Timeline
|
|
|
|
- **Phase 2 Completion**: 1-2 hours
|
|
- **Phase 3-4 Testing**: 4-6 hours
|
|
- **Phase 5-6 Testing**: 4-8 hours
|
|
- **Deployment**: 2-4 hours
|

|
## Risk Assessment
|
|
|
|
### 🔴 **High Risk**
|
|
- Skipping environment testing
|
|
- Not testing install scripts
|
|
- Releasing without TestPyPI validation
|
|
|
|
### 🟡 **Medium Risk**
|
|
- Large zipapp file size
|
|
- Dependency compatibility issues
|
|
- Network connectivity problems
|
|
|
|
### 🟢 **Low Risk**
|
|
- Documentation accuracy
|
|
- GitHub workflow syntax
|
|
- Package metadata
|
|
|
|
## Conclusion
|
|
|
|
We've built a comprehensive modern distribution system for FSS-Mini-RAG. The infrastructure is solid (5/6 structure tests pass), but we need systematic testing before release.
|
|
|
|
**The testing plan is extensive but necessary** - we're moving from a basic pip install to a professional-grade distribution system that needs to work flawlessly for users worldwide.
|
|
|
|
**Current Status**: Infrastructure complete, systematic testing in progress.
|
|
**Confidence Level**: High for structure, medium for functionality pending tests.
|
|
**Ready for Release**: Not yet - need 2-3 days of proper testing. |
