# # Tests layout # Each folder under tests/ corresponds to a test category for a sub-namespace in verl. For instance: # - `tests/trainer` for testing functionality related to `verl/trainer` # - `tests/models` for testing functionality related to `verl/models` # - ... # There are a few folders with `special_` prefix, created for special purposes: # - `special_distributed`: unit tests that must run with multiple GPUs # - `special_e2e`: end-to-end tests with training/generation scripts # - `special_npu`: tests for NPUs # - `special_sanity`: a suite of quick sanity tests # - `special_standalone`: a set of test that are designed to run in dedicated environments # Accelerators for tests # - By default tests are run with GPU available, except for the ones under `special_npu`, and any test script whose name ends with `on_cpu.py`. # - For test scripts with `on_cpu.py` name suffix would be tested on CPU resources in linux environment. # # Workflow layout # All CI tests are configured by yaml files in `.github/workflows/`. Here's an overview of all test configs: # 1. A list of always triggered CPU sanity tests: `check-pr-title.yml`, `secrets_scan.yml`, `check-pr-title,yml`, `pre-commit.yml`, `doc.yml` # 2. Some heavy multi-GPU unit tests, such as `model.yml`, `vllm.yml`, `sgl.yml` # 3. End-to-end tests: `e2e_*.yml` # 4. Unit tests # - `cpu_unit_tests.yml`, run pytest on all scripts with file name pattern `tests/**/test_*_on_cpu.py` # - `gpu_unit_tests.yml`, run pytest on all scripts with file without the `on_cpu.py` suffix. # - Since cpu/gpu unit tests by default runs all tests under `tests`, please make sure tests are manually excluded in them when # - new workflow yaml is added to `.github/workflows` # - new tests are added to workflow mentioned in 2. name: e2e_ascend on: # Trigger the workflow on push or pull request, # but only for the main branch push: branches: - main - v0.* pull_request: branches: - main paths: - ".github/workflows/e2e_ascend.yml" - "examples/data_preprocess/**" - "examples/grpo_trainer/**" - "examples/ppo_trainer/**" - "examples/sft/**" - "verl/experimental/one_step_off_policy/**" - "tests/special_npu/**" - "tests/special_sanity/check_device_api_usage.py" - "verl/**" - "pyproject.toml" - "requirements-npu.txt" - "setup.py" # Cancel jobs on the same ref if a new one is triggered concurrency: group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }} cancel-in-progress: ${{ github.ref != 'refs/heads/main' }} permissions: contents: read jobs: llm_rl_job: if: github.repository_owner == 'verl-project' name: E2E Ascend testing for RL training scenarios of LLM models runs-on: linux-aarch64-a2b3-8 timeout-minutes: 120 container: image: swr.cn-southwest-2.myhuaweicloud.com/modelfoundry/ascend-ci/verl/verl:verl-8.5.0-910b-ubuntu22.04-py3.11-latest options: >- --shm-size 16g env: HF_ENDPOINT: "https://hf-mirror.com" HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER: "0" # This is more stable steps: - name: Check npu and CANN info run: | cat /usr/local/Ascend/ascend-toolkit/latest/"$(uname -i)"-linux/ascend_toolkit_install.info npu-smi info - name: Check initial pip list from image run: | pip list - name: Checkout volcengine/verl repo uses: actions/checkout@v4 with: fetch-depth: 0 clean: true - name: Install the current repository run: | pip install -r requirements-npu.txt pip install -e . - name: Check final pip list run: | pip list - name: Preprocess gsm8k dataset run: | python examples/data_preprocess/gsm8k.py --local_dataset_path ${HOME}/.cache/datasets/openai/gsm8k - name: Running gsm8k e2e training tests with PPO on ASCEND NPU (FSDP backend) run: | ray stop --force bash tests/special_npu/run_qwen3_06b_ppo.sh rm -rf $HOME/ckpts - name: Running gsm8k e2e training tests with GRPO on ASCEND NPU (FSDP backend) run: | ray stop --force bash tests/special_npu/run_qwen2_5_05b_grpo.sh rm -rf $HOME/ckpts - name: Running gsm8k e2e training tests with GRPO on ASCEND NPU (MindSpeed backend) run: | ray stop --force USE_DIST_CKPT=True bash tests/special_npu/run_qwen2_5_05b_grpo_mindspeed.sh rm -rf $HOME/dist_ckpt/qwen2_5_05b_grpo_mindspeed rm -rf $HOME/ckpts - name: Running gsm8k e2e training tests with GRPO on ASCEND NPU (MindSpeed backend, MoE Model) run: | ray stop --force USE_DIST_CKPT=True USE_DUMMY_MODEL=True DUMMY_MODEL_CONFIG_PATH=tests/special_e2e/ppo_trainer/expert_parallel/qwen3moe_minimal.json DUMMY_MODEL_PATH=$HOME/dist_ckpt/qwen3_30b_grpo_mindspeed bash tests/special_npu/run_qwen3_30b_grpo_mindspeed.sh - name: Running the E2E test with fully_async_policy algorithm (FSDP2) run: | ray stop --force bash tests/special_npu/run_fully_async_policy.sh vlm_rl_job: if: github.repository_owner == 'verl-project' name: E2E Ascend testing for RL training scenarios of VLM models runs-on: linux-aarch64-a2b3-8 timeout-minutes: 120 container: image: swr.cn-southwest-2.myhuaweicloud.com/modelfoundry/ascend-ci/verl/verl:verl-8.5.0-910b-ubuntu22.04-py3.11-latest options: >- --shm-size 16g env: HF_ENDPOINT: "https://hf-mirror.com" HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER: "0" # This is more stable steps: - name: Check npu and CANN info run: | cat /usr/local/Ascend/ascend-toolkit/latest/"$(uname -i)"-linux/ascend_toolkit_install.info npu-smi info - name: Check initial pip list from image run: | pip list - name: Checkout volcengine/verl repo uses: actions/checkout@v4 with: fetch-depth: 0 clean: true - name: Install the current repository run: | pip install -r requirements-npu.txt pip install -e . - name: Check final pip list run: | pip list - name: Preprocess geo3k dataset run: | python examples/data_preprocess/geo3k.py --local_dataset_path ${HOME}/.cache/datasets/hiyouga/geometry3k - name: Running geo3k e2e training tests with GRPO on ASCEND NPU run: | ray stop --force bash tests/special_npu/run_qwen2_5_vl_3b_npu.sh rm -rf $HOME/ckpts
