🕒 04:50–05:10
🏷️ Labels: Promptflow, Python, CLI, Debugging, SDK
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to manage module changes, fix trace retrieval issues, and enhance the CLI trace command in the PromptFlow SDK.
Key Activities
- Managing Module Changes and Visibility: Followed a guide to save changes and install a Python module locally in editable mode while ensuring its privacy.
- Fixing Trace Retrieval: Addressed an error in the
TraceOperations
class by retrieving trace information via the run object instead of using a non-existent.get()
method. - Enhancing CLI Trace Command: Proposed and outlined enhancements for the
fp trace
command to improve user experience and output richness. - Debugging PromptFlow Trace Retrieval: Diagnosed an AttributeError in PromptFlow, explaining the differences between local and Azure-connected tracing methods and offering a solution.
- Debugging PromptFlow Local Run Internals: Provided insights into handling the ‘Run’ object in PromptFlow and strategies for extracting information from failed runs.
Achievements
- Successfully fixed the trace retrieval issue in the PromptFlow SDK.
- Proposed enhancements for the CLI trace command to improve usability.
Pending Tasks
- Implement the proposed enhancements for the
fp trace
command. - Further testing of the debugging solutions in different environments.
