About 85 call sites read a setting as getattr(settings, "NAME", fallback),
each carrying its own copy of the default. Every one of those names is a
field with a default on the model, so the fallback could never apply to
the real settings object; it only masked drift. Two had drifted:
- OPENAI_PROMPT_CACHE_KEY defaults to True on the model but the reader
fell back to False, and two test stubs relied on that.
- SharePoint's MICROSOFT_AUTHORITY fallback to
https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant> never fired, because the
attribute always exists (as None), so MSAL got authority=None. The
connector now derives the tenant authority when the setting is unset,
as its test always assumed.
Four places read EMBEDDINGS_KEY straight from os.environ, skipping the
"None"/"" normalisation the model applies; they read the setting now.
Test stubs that replaced a module's settings with a SimpleNamespace list
every setting the code under test reads.
- CI installs the backend requirements from docsgpt/; the old cd into
application/ silently installed nothing.
- The root .dockerignore re-admits only application/__init__.py. An upgraded
checkout may still hold gitignored application/{inputs,indexes,vectors,.env}
from the old layout, and the directory rule shipped them into the image.
- The compose files keep the host bind mounts on application/{indexes,inputs,
vectors}, so an upgrade does not start with empty data. The move comes with
the packaging work, together with an upgrade note.
- The alias loader puts the real docsgpt spec back on the shared module object
after import (the import machinery stamped the alias spec on it, which made
importlib.reload rename the module and skip re-execution) and delegates
get_code/get_source/get_filename to the target loader, so
python -m application.<name> runs.
- Each legacy application.* task name is registered as its own task object,
a subclass carrying the old name. Registering the same object under two
keys made Celery's tracer log every run under whichever name it built last.
- The redbeat key prefix stays redbeat:docsgpt:; the three schedule_syncs
entries get stable names instead. redbeat tracks its static entries and
deletes the ones that vanish from beat_schedule at start-up, and rewrites the
task path of named entries in place, so neither a prefix bump nor a cleanup
pass is needed (checked against redbeat 2.4.2 with a seeded Redis).
The backend import package is now docsgpt, the name it will carry on PyPI;
application was far too generic to install into anyone's site-packages.
git mv plus a mechanical rewrite of every import, dotted string and path
reference: 734 Python files, the compose files, Dockerfile, workflows, docs,
setup scripts, devcontainer, k8s manifests, vscode config, pytest and coverage
config, .gitignore. Behaviour is unchanged.
Kept for one release:
- A top-level application package whose meta-path finder resolves
application.x.y to the already-imported docsgpt.x.y object, so old imports
and entry points (celery -A application.app.celery,
uvicorn application.asgi:asgi_app) keep working with a FutureWarning.
- Celery registers every application.* task name as an alias of its
docsgpt.* task on start-up, so messages queued by the previous release still
run. The redbeat key prefix moves to redbeat:docsgpt:v2: so schedule entries
the previous release wrote are left unread instead of firing twice.
The backend image builds from the repository root (docker build -f
docsgpt/Dockerfile .) so it can ship the alias package; a root .dockerignore
allow-lists docsgpt/ and application/ and keeps caches, local data, .env
files, the sample index files and the Dockerfile out. Compose and the image
workflows point at the new context.
