GitHub Bot Help

/bot [-h] ['run', 'kill', 'skip', 'reuse-pipeline'] ...

Provide a user friendly way for developers to interact with a Jenkins server.

Run /bot [-h|--help] to print this help message.

See details below for each supported subcommand.

run [--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id --disable-fail-fast --skip-test --stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" --gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" --test-backend "pytorch, cpp" --add-multi-gpu-test --only-multi-gpu-test --disable-multi-gpu-test --post-merge --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" --detailed-log --debug(experimental)]

Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--add-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Force run the multi-GPU tests in addition to running L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--post-merge (OPTIONAL) : Run the L0 post-merge pipeline instead of the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Run the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline and specified test stages. Examples: --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx".

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

For guidance on mapping tests to stage names, see docs/source/reference/ci-overview.md
and the scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py helper.

kill

kill

Kill all running builds associated with pull request.

skip

skip --comment COMMENT

Skip testing for latest commit on pull request. --comment "Reason for skipping build/test" is required. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

reuse-pipeline

reuse-pipeline

Reuse a previous pipeline to validate current commit. This action will also kill all currently running builds associated with the pull request. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

  • Single documentation file with environment variable updates and formatting adjustments
  • No code logic changes to verify
  • Primary review focus: validate accuracy of environment variable descriptions and guidance

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)
Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Description Check ⚠️ Warning The pull request description is largely incomplete and fails to meet the template requirements. The Description section, which should explain the issue and solution, contains only an empty HTML comment placeholder with no actual content provided. The Test Coverage section, required to list relevant tests that safeguard the changes, is similarly empty. The PR Checklist contains minimal completion with only one checkbox marked [x], while the substance of the changes and reasoning is entirely absent. Although the author included the "@coderabbitai summary" marker, no actual description details were provided beyond the template structure. The author should fill in the Description section explaining what UCX environment variables were updated and why (e.g., documenting UCX_MAX_RNDV_RAILS clarification and adding UCX_MAX_RMA_RAILS for NIXL backend), and provide the Test Coverage section detailing how these documentation changes were validated. Additionally, the PR Checklist items should be reviewed and checked off as appropriate, ensuring the description clearly communicates the purpose and impact of the documentation updates.
Docstring Coverage ⚠️ Warning Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. You can run @coderabbitai generate docstrings to improve docstring coverage.
✅ Passed checks (1 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Title Check ✅ Passed The pull request title "[None][doc] update ucx env description in doc" follows the required format [ticket][type] correctly with [None] indicating no associated ticket and [doc] indicating documentation changes. The title is related to the main change in the changeset—updating UCX environment variable descriptions in documentation—which aligns with the raw summary showing updates to UCX_MAX_RNDV_RAILS and addition of UCX_MAX_RMA_RAILS documentation. While the title is somewhat redundant by stating "update" and "in doc" when the [doc] type already implies documentation changes, it is sufficiently clear and specific enough for a teammate scanning history to understand this is a documentation update for UCX environment variables.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Fix spelling error and verify consistency.

Line 216 contains a spelling error: communicaiton should be communication. Additionally, ensure consistency in the phrasing style between the UCX_MAX_RNDV_RAILS and UCX_MAX_RMA_RAILS entries—the first entry uses more detailed explanation, while the second is more concise. This difference may be intentional for brevity, but review for consistency.

Apply this diff to fix the spelling error:

-* `UCX_MAX_RMA_RAILS` : It is recommended to set UCX_MAX_RMA_RAILS=1 to reduce contention for NIXL communicaiton backend.
+* `UCX_MAX_RMA_RAILS` : It is recommended to set UCX_MAX_RMA_RAILS=1 to reduce contention for NIXL communication backend.
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In docs/source/features/disagg-serving.md around lines 214 to 216, fix the
spelling mistake "communicaiton" to "communication" in the UCX_MAX_RMA_RAILS
entry and make the phrasing consistent with the UCX_MAX_RNDV_RAILS entry by
expanding the RMA entry to match the level of detail (mention that setting
UCX_MAX_RMA_RAILS=1 reduces NIC contention for the UCX communication backend
when multiple TP ranks may transfer KV cache concurrently, or otherwise reword
both entries to follow the same concise style).
