🏷️ Labels: Promptflow, Azure, Dependency Management, Opentelemetry, Python
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The primary objective of this session was to diagnose and resolve various dependency and environment issues related to the PromptFlow SDK and associated Azure modules.
Key Activities
- Local Test Plan for Run Locally Documentation: Reviewed a checklist for validating local development environments, focusing on setup steps and common failure modes.
- Diagnosing and Fixing PromptFlow Dependency Issues: Identified missing Azure SDK modules as the root cause of critical issues with PromptFlow dependencies and outlined a fix strategy.
- Resolving Versioning and Installation Issues: Addressed versioning issues with the
azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporterpackage by exploring beta installation options and meta-packages. - Understanding and Resolving Telemetry Errors: Investigated telemetry logging errors in PromptFlow, focusing on import failures and deprecated Azure modules.
- Analyzing Import Dependency Chain: Explored the import dependency chain in PromptFlow to identify bad design and proposed multiple solutions.
- OpenTelemetry Tracing Strategy: Developed a strategy for implementing OpenTelemetry-based tracing in Python applications without Azure SDK dependencies.
Achievements
- Successfully diagnosed and resolved several critical dependency and environment issues related to PromptFlow.
- Developed a comprehensive strategy for OpenTelemetry tracing without Azure SDK dependencies.
Pending Tasks
- Further testing and validation of the implemented fixes and strategies in different environments.
- Monitoring for any additional issues that may arise from these changes.
