Having trouble building from source about promptfoo HOT 5 CLOSED

Here's my workflow to use the CLI after a fresh git clone:

NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=http:// NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=abc123 npm install

./dist/src/main.js view

• The Supabase account is not necessary for development, I just put dummy envars. It's only used for hosting the promptfoo share results at app.promptfoo.dev.
• I also use npm link so I can just run promptfoo instead of manually specifying ./dist/src/main.js.

If I'm developing the web view, then:

cd src/web/nextui
npm run dev

which runs the next.js app on localhost:3000 with hot reload and other debugging amenities.

Hello @e3oroush, I've been doing the following.

git clone https://github.com/promptfoo/promptfoo.git
cd path/to/promptfoo-source
npm i

cd path/to/experiment-with-promptfoo # contains your promptfooconfig.yaml
npx path/to/promptfoo-source eval

Consider using npx with --no-cache to avoid caching a build in ~/.npm/_npx/...

I run into the same problem of npx path/to/promptfoo-source view not working. However, using npx promptfoo@latest view in combination has worked, the promptfoo cache seems shared.

I used this approach. Worked perfectly. Thanks.

@typpo how could one run "./dist/src/main.js view" during development with hot reloading?

@shaayaansayed As of 83065a9, to develop the web UI locally, run:

npm run local:web

This hosts a web frontend at http://localhost:3000 that talks to the promptfoo view web server. The :3000 endpoint has hot reloading and other benefits of Next.js's developer environment. You'll need to run promptfoo view or ./dist/src/main.js view at the same time in order to provide the server side.
