- Remove OmegaConf. It functioned as an intermediary data format, between YAML/argparse and pydantic. It's not necessary - we can parse YAML or CLI args directly with pydantic.
- Remove dynamic CLI args. Only `root` is explicitly supported. This greatly simplifies config handling. Configuration is done by editing the YAML file. Frequently-used args can be added if there is a demand.
- A separate arg parser is created to handle the slimmed-down CLI args. It's run immediately in the `invokeai-web` script to handle `--version` and `--help`. It is also used inside the singleton config getter (see below).
- Remove categories from the config. Our settings model is mostly flat. Handling categories adds complexity for both us and users - we have to handle transforming a flat config to categorized config (and vice-versa), while users have to be careful with indentation in their YAML file.
- Add a `meta` key to the config file. Currently, this holds the config schema version only. It is not a part of the config object itself.
- Remove legacy settings that are no longer referenced, or were effectively no-op settings when referenced in code.
- Implement simple migration logic to for v3 configs. If migration is successful, the v3 config file is backed up to `invokeai.yaml.bak` and the new config written to `invokeai.yaml`.
- Previously, the singleton config was accessed by calling `InvokeAIAppConfig.get_config()`. This returned an instance of `InvokeAIAppConfig`, which _also_ has the `get_config` function. This created to a confusing situation where you weren't sure if you needed to call `get_config` or just use the config object. This method is replaced by a standalone `get_config` function which returns a singleton config object.
- Wrap CLI arg parsing (for `root`) and loading/migrating `invokeai.yaml` into the new `get_config()` function.
- Move `generate_config_docstrings` into standalone utility function.
- Make `root` a private attr (`_root`). This reduces the temptation to directly modify and or use this sensitive field and ensures it is neither serialized nor read from input data. Use `root_path` to access the resolved root path, or `set_root` to set the root to something.
Refactor services folder/module structure.
**Motivation**
While working on our services I've repeatedly encountered circular imports and a general lack of clarity regarding where to put things. The structure introduced goes a long way towards resolving those issues, setting us up for a clean structure going forward.
**Services**
Services are now in their own folder with a few files:
- `services/{service_name}/__init__.py`: init as needed, mostly empty now
- `services/{service_name}/{service_name}_base.py`: the base class for the service
- `services/{service_name}/{service_name}_{impl_type}.py`: the default concrete implementation of the service - typically one of `sqlite`, `default`, or `memory`
- `services/{service_name}/{service_name}_common.py`: any common items - models, exceptions, utilities, etc
Though it's a bit verbose to have the service name both as the folder name and the prefix for files, I found it is _extremely_ confusing to have all of the base classes just be named `base.py`. So, at the cost of some verbosity when importing things, I've included the service name in the filename.
There are some minor logic changes. For example, in `InvocationProcessor`, instead of assigning the model manager service to a variable to be used later in the file, the service is used directly via the `Invoker`.
**Shared**
Things that are used across disparate services are in `services/shared/`:
- `default_graphs.py`: previously in `services/`
- `graphs.py`: previously in `services/`
- `paginatation`: generic pagination models used in a few services
- `sqlite`: the `SqliteDatabase` class, other sqlite-specific things
