**TL;DR much of the provided `Makefile` targets were broken, and any time I wanted to preview changes locally I either had to refer to a command Chester gave me or try waiting on a Vercel preview deployment. With this PR, everything should behave like normal.** Significant updates to the `Makefile` and documentation files, focusing on improving usability, adding clear messaging, and fixing/enhancing documentation workflows. ### Updates to `Makefile`: #### Enhanced build and cleaning processes: - Added informative messages (e.g., "📚 Building LangChain documentation...") to makefile targets like `docs_build`, `docs_clean`, and `api_docs_build` for better user feedback during execution. - Introduced a `clean-cache` target to the `docs` `Makefile` to clear cached dependencies and ensure clean builds. #### Improved dependency handling: - Modified `install-py-deps` to create a `.venv/deps_installed` marker, preventing redundant/duplicate dependency installations and improving efficiency. #### Streamlined file generation and infrastructure setup: - Added caching for the LangServe README download and parallelized feature table generation - Added user-friendly completion messages for targets like `copy-infra` and `render`. #### Documentation server updates: - Enhanced the `start` target with messages indicating server start and URL for local documentation viewing. --- ### Documentation Improvements: #### Content clarity and consistency: - Standardized section titles for consistency across documentation files.

langchain-tests
This is a testing library for LangChain integrations. It contains the base classes for a standard set of tests.
Installation
We encourage pinning your version to a specific version in order to avoid breaking your CI when we publish new tests. We recommend upgrading to the latest version periodically to make sure you have the latest tests.
Not pinning your version will ensure you always have the latest tests, but it may also break your CI if we introduce tests that your integration doesn't pass.
Pip:
```bash
pip install -U langchain-tests
```
Poetry:
```bash
poetry add langchain-tests
```
Usage
To add standard tests to an integration package's e.g. ChatModel, you need to create
- A unit test class that inherits from ChatModelUnitTests
- An integration test class that inherits from ChatModelIntegrationTests
tests/unit_tests/test_standard.py:
```python
"""Standard LangChain interface tests"""
from typing import Type
import pytest
from langchain_core.language_models import BaseChatModel
from langchain_tests.unit_tests import ChatModelUnitTests
from langchain_parrot_chain import ChatParrotChain
class TestParrotChainStandard(ChatModelUnitTests):
@pytest.fixture
def chat_model_class(self) -> Type[BaseChatModel]:
return ChatParrotChain
```
tests/integration_tests/test_standard.py:
```python
"""Standard LangChain interface tests"""
from typing import Type
import pytest
from langchain_core.language_models import BaseChatModel
from langchain_tests.integration_tests import ChatModelIntegrationTests
from langchain_parrot_chain import ChatParrotChain
class TestParrotChainStandard(ChatModelIntegrationTests):
@pytest.fixture
def chat_model_class(self) -> Type[BaseChatModel]:
return ChatParrotChain
```
Reference
The following fixtures are configurable in the test classes. Anything not marked as required is optional.
chat_model_class(required): The class of the chat model to be testedchat_model_params: The keyword arguments to pass to the chat model constructorchat_model_has_tool_calling: Whether the chat model can call tools. By default, this is set tohasattr(chat_model_class, 'bind_tools)chat_model_has_structured_output: Whether the chat model can structured output. By default, this is set tohasattr(chat_model_class, 'with_structured_output')
