refactor(test): introduce --stack-config and simplify options (#1404)
You now run the integration tests with these options:

```bash
Custom options:
  --stack-config=STACK_CONFIG
                        a 'pointer' to the stack. this can be either be:
                        (a) a template name like `fireworks`, or
                        (b) a path to a run.yaml file, or
                        (c) an adhoc config spec, e.g.
                        `inference=fireworks,safety=llama-guard,agents=meta-
                        reference`
  --env=ENV             Set environment variables, e.g. --env KEY=value
  --text-model=TEXT_MODEL
                        comma-separated list of text models. Fixture name:
                        text_model_id
  --vision-model=VISION_MODEL
                        comma-separated list of vision models. Fixture name:
                        vision_model_id
  --embedding-model=EMBEDDING_MODEL
                        comma-separated list of embedding models. Fixture name:
                        embedding_model_id
  --safety-shield=SAFETY_SHIELD
                        comma-separated list of safety shields. Fixture name:
                        shield_id
  --judge-model=JUDGE_MODEL
                        comma-separated list of judge models. Fixture name:
                        judge_model_id
  --embedding-dimension=EMBEDDING_DIMENSION
                        Output dimensionality of the embedding model to use for
                        testing. Default: 384
  --record-responses    Record new API responses instead of using cached ones.
  --report=REPORT       Path where the test report should be written, e.g.
                        --report=/path/to/report.md

```

Importantly, if you don't specify any of the models (text-model,
vision-model, etc.) the relevant tests will get **skipped!**

This will make running tests somewhat more annoying since all options
will need to be specified. We will make this easier by adding some easy
wrapper yaml configs.

## Test Plan

Example:

```bash
ashwin@ashwin-mbp ~/local/llama-stack/tests/integration (unify_tests) $ 
LLAMA_STACK_CONFIG=fireworks pytest -s -v inference/test_text_inference.py \
   --text-model meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct 
```

Llama Stack Integration Tests

We use pytest for parameterizing and running tests. You can see all options with:

cd tests/integration

# this will show a long list of options, look for "Custom options:"
pytest --help

Here are the most important options:

  • --stack-config: specify the stack config to use. You have three ways to point to a stack:
    • a URL which points to a Llama Stack distribution server
    • a template (e.g., fireworks, together) or a path to a run.yaml file
    • a comma-separated list of api=provider pairs, e.g. inference=fireworks,safety=llama-guard,agents=meta-reference. This is most useful for testing a single API surface.
  • --env: set environment variables, e.g. --env KEY=value. this is a utility option to set environment variables required by various providers.

Model parameters can be influenced by the following options:

  • --text-model: comma-separated list of text models.
  • --vision-model: comma-separated list of vision models.
  • --embedding-model: comma-separated list of embedding models.
  • --safety-shield: comma-separated list of safety shields.
  • --judge-model: comma-separated list of judge models.
  • --embedding-dimension: output dimensionality of the embedding model to use for testing. Default: 384

Each of these are comma-separated lists and can be used to generate multiple parameter combinations.

Experimental, under development, options:

  • --record-responses: record new API responses instead of using cached ones
  • --report: path where the test report should be written, e.g. --report=/path/to/report.md

Examples

Run all text inference tests with the together distribution:

pytest -s -v tests/api/inference/test_text_inference.py \
   --stack-config=together \
   --text-model=meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct

Run all text inference tests with the together distribution and meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct:

pytest -s -v tests/api/inference/test_text_inference.py \
   --stack-config=together \
   --text-model=meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct

Running all inference tests for a number of models:

TEXT_MODELS=meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct,meta-llama/Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct
VISION_MODELS=meta-llama/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct
EMBEDDING_MODELS=all-MiniLM-L6-v2
TOGETHER_API_KEY=...

pytest -s -v tests/api/inference/ \
   --stack-config=together \
   --text-model=$TEXT_MODELS \
   --vision-model=$VISION_MODELS \
   --embedding-model=$EMBEDDING_MODELS

Same thing but instead of using the distribution, use an adhoc stack with just one provider (fireworks for inference):

FIREWORKS_API_KEY=...

pytest -s -v tests/api/inference/ \
   --stack-config=inference=fireworks \
   --text-model=$TEXT_MODELS \
   --vision-model=$VISION_MODELS \
   --embedding-model=$EMBEDDING_MODELS

Running Vector IO tests for a number of embedding models:

EMBEDDING_MODELS=all-MiniLM-L6-v2

pytest -s -v tests/api/vector_io/ \
   --stack-config=inference=sentence-transformers,vector_io=sqlite-vec \
   --embedding-model=$EMBEDDING_MODELS
