Mason Daugherty f624ad489a feat(docs): improve devx, fix Makefile targets (#32237)
**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.

#### Enhanced workflows:
- Updated instructions for building and viewing documentation locally,
including tips for specifying server ports and handling API reference
previews.

- Added support for a new package name (`langchain_v1`) in the API
documentation generation script.
- Fixed minor capitalization and formatting issues in 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

  1. A unit test class that inherits from ChatModelUnitTests
  2. 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 tested
  • chat_model_params: The keyword arguments to pass to the chat model constructor
  • chat_model_has_tool_calling: Whether the chat model can call tools. By default, this is set to hasattr(chat_model_class, 'bind_tools)
  • chat_model_has_structured_output: Whether the chat model can structured output. By default, this is set to hasattr(chat_model_class, 'with_structured_output')
