Speed up the building time?

[chenjuneking]

Was there any way to speed up the building time? I found it took too much time to build the wheel package, it tooks more than 30 minutes each time.

What build time exactly? How to reproduce the behavior you're mentioning?

In my understand probably poetry build?

Yes, it took about 40 minutes to build the package on my laptop(Lenovo R9000K with windows 11, Git-Bash).

Alright, so the workaround is to remove src/chainlit/frontend/node_modules before building.

On a typical setup, we have a lot of files in this directory, and Poetry doesn't like this: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/7644

We probably should move the frontend somewhere else while still including it in the distribution somehow?

[chenjuneking]

I agree to move the frontend out of the scope of poetry, like this:

- chainlit
  - cypress
  - chainlit
    - chainlit
      - db
      - client
      - __init__.py
      - __main__.py
    - pyproject.toml
    - poetry.lock
  - frontend
    - public
    - src
      - App.tsx

What do you think?

[willydouhard]

I agree but we would have to add some logic in the build to move the built front end folder in the wheel
