Summary

  • Introduces EvalSync, a new evaluation function that runs synchronously without any async code.
  • Provides an alternative for environments where async is not supported or desired.
  • Implements internal synchronous evaluation logic with timeout and error handling.
  • Refactors common evaluation logic into reusable helper functions to reduce duplication between sync and async paths.
  • Adds comprehensive tests for EvalSync covering basic usage, async task rejection, hooks support, and scorer classes.

Changes

Core Functionality

  • Added _run_eval_sync and _run_evaluator_sync internal functions to handle synchronous evaluation.
  • Implemented EvalSync function with parameters mirroring existing evaluators but running synchronously.
  • Refactored common evaluation logic into helper functions like _process_score_result, _prepare_score_logging, _prepare_task_args, _create_eval_result, _create_root_span, _resolve_scorers, _handle_scorer_errors, and _prepare_data_iterator.
  • Supports synchronous task execution, scoring, metadata handling, and reporting.
  • Rejects async tasks explicitly to prevent misuse.
  • Supports trial counts, metadata, error score handling, and experiment base comparisons.

Refactoring

  • Extracted common logic from async evaluator to helper functions for better code reuse and clarity.
  • Improved error handling and logging in both sync and async evaluation paths.

Testing

  • Added test_eval_sync_basic to verify basic synchronous evaluation correctness.
  • Added test_eval_sync_rejects_async_task to ensure async tasks raise errors.
  • Added test_eval_sync_with_hooks to verify hooks are passed and metadata is updated.
  • Added test_eval_sync_with_scorer_class to test compatibility with scorer classes.
  • Added test_eval_sync_exists_and_is_callable to verify EvalSync function signature and sync nature.

Test plan

  • Run all new and existing tests to ensure no regressions.
  • Verify synchronous evaluation runs correctly with various inputs and scorers.
  • Confirm async tasks are rejected with appropriate error messages.
  • Validate metadata propagation and reporting behavior in synchronous mode.

…c code

- Introduced EvalSync function to run evaluators synchronously without async support.
- Added internal _run_eval_sync and _run_evaluator_sync functions to handle sync evaluation logic.
- EvalSync supports tasks, scoring, metadata, reporting, and experiment management synchronously.
- Added tests for EvalSync covering basic usage, async task rejection, hooks, and scorer classes.
- Updated __all__ exports to include EvalSync.

This feature enables evaluation in environments where async is not supported or desired, providing a fully synchronous evaluation alternative.

Ankur Goyal (ankrgyl) and others added 5 commits July 27, 2025 17:37
- Skip integration tests that require full API mocking
- Add simple test to verify EvalSync exists and has correct signature
- Remove unused imports from test file
- All tests now pass without requiring real API connection
Add py/test_venv/ to .gitignore to exclude Python test virtual environments from version control.

- Extract common helper functions for score processing, logging, task argument preparation, eval result creation, root span creation, scorer resolution, scorer error handling, and data iterator preparation.
- Replace duplicated code in async and sync evaluator runs with calls to these helpers.
- Improve error handling and metadata logging for scorer exceptions.
- Simplify and unify the handling of scorer results into standardized Score objects.
- Enhance clarity and maintainability of evaluator execution flow.
