`mypy` cannot type-check code that relies on dependencies that aren't
installed.
Eventually we'll probably want to install as many optional dependencies
as possible. However, the full "extended deps" setup for langchain
creates a 3GB cache file and takes a while to unpack and install. We'll
probably want something a bit more targeted.
This is a first step toward something better.
With this PR:
- All lint and test jobs use the exact same Python + Poetry installation
approach, instead of lints doing it one way and tests doing it another
way.
- The Poetry installation itself is cached, which saves ~15s per run.
- We no longer pass shell commands as workflow arguments to a workflow
that just runs them in a shell. This makes our actions more resilient to
shell code injection.
If y'all like this approach, I can modify the scheduled tests workflow
and the release workflow to use this too.
The current timeouts are too long, and mean that if the GitHub cache
decides to act up, jobs get bogged down for 15min at a time. This has
happened 2-3 times already this week -- a tiny fraction of our total
workflows but really annoying when it happens to you. We can do better.
Installing deps on cache miss takes about ~4min, so it's not worth
waiting more than 4min for the deps cache. The black and mypy caches
save 1 and 2min, respectively, so wait only up to that long to download
them.
Ternary operators in GitHub Actions syntax are pretty ugly and hard to
read: `inputs.working-directory == '' && '.' ||
inputs.working-directory` means "if the condition is true, use `'.'` and
otherwise use the expression after the `||`".
This PR performs the ternary as few times as possible, assigning its
outcome to an env var we can then reuse as needed.
Only lint on the min and max supported Python versions.
It's extremely unlikely that there's a lint issue on any version in
between that doesn't show up on the min or max versions.
GitHub rate-limits how many jobs can be running at any one time.
Starting new jobs is also relatively slow, so linting on fewer versions
makes CI faster.
