It's recommended to set up a local development environment to build and test
before you submit a PR.
### Prepare environment and build
### Setup development environment
Theoretically, the vllm-ascend build is only supported on Linux because
`vllm-ascend` dependency `torch_npu` only supports Linux.

### Testing
🎉 Congratulations! You have completed the development environment setup.
Although vllm-ascend CI provide integration test on [Ascend](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/blob/main/.github/workflows/vllm_ascend_test.yaml), you can run it
locally. The simplest way to run these integration tests locally is through a container:
```bash
# Under Ascend NPU environment
git clone https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend.git
cd vllm-ascend
export IMAGE=vllm-ascend-dev-image
export CONTAINER_NAME=vllm-ascend-dev
export DEVICE=/dev/davinci1
# The first build will take about 10 mins (10MB/s) to download the base image and packages
docker build -t $IMAGE -f ./Dockerfile .
# You can also specify the mirror repo via setting VLLM_REPO to speedup
# docker build -t $IMAGE -f ./Dockerfile . --build-arg VLLM_REPO=https://gitee.com/mirrors/vllm
docker run --rm --name $CONTAINER_NAME --network host --device $DEVICE \
--device /dev/davinci_manager --device /dev/devmm_svm \
--device /dev/hisi_hdc -v /usr/local/dcmi:/usr/local/dcmi \
-v /usr/local/bin/npu-smi:/usr/local/bin/npu-smi \
-v /usr/local/Ascend/driver/lib64/:/usr/local/Ascend/driver/lib64/ \
-ti $IMAGE bash
cd vllm-ascend
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
pytest tests/
```
### Run doctest
vllm-ascend provides a `vllm-ascend/tests/e2e/run_doctests.sh` command to run all doctests in the doc files.
The doctest is a good way to make sure the docs are up to date and the examples are executable, you can run it locally as follows:
```{code-block} bash
:substitutions:
# Update DEVICE according to your device (/dev/davinci[0-7])
export DEVICE=/dev/davinci0
# Update the vllm-ascend image
export IMAGE=quay.io/ascend/vllm-ascend:|vllm_ascend_version|
docker run --rm \
--name vllm-ascend \
--device $DEVICE \
--device /dev/davinci_manager \
--device /dev/devmm_svm \
--device /dev/hisi_hdc \
-v /usr/local/dcmi:/usr/local/dcmi \
-v /usr/local/bin/npu-smi:/usr/local/bin/npu-smi \
-v /usr/local/Ascend/driver/lib64/:/usr/local/Ascend/driver/lib64/ \
-v /usr/local/Ascend/driver/version.info:/usr/local/Ascend/driver/version.info \
-v /etc/ascend_install.info:/etc/ascend_install.info \
-v /root/.cache:/root/.cache \
-p 8000:8000 \
-it $IMAGE bash
# Run doctest
/vllm-workspace/vllm-ascend/tests/e2e/run_doctests.sh
```
This will reproduce the same environment as the CI: [vllm_ascend_doctest.yaml](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/blob/main/.github/workflows/vllm_ascend_doctest.yaml).
### Test locally
You can refer to [Testing](./testing.md) doc to help you setup testing environment and running tests locally.
