We have two problems with how argparse is being utilized:
- We parse CLI args as the `api_app.py` file is read. This causes a problem pytest, which has an incompatible set of CLI args. Some tests import the FastAPI app, which triggers the config to parse CLI args, which receives the pytest args and fails.
- We've repeatedly had problems when something that uses the config is imported before the CLI args are parsed. When this happens, the root dir may not be set correctly, so we attempt to operate on incorrect paths.
To resolve these issues, we need to lift CLI arg parsing outside of the application code, but still let the application access the CLI args. We can create a external app entrypoint to do this.
- `InvokeAIArgs` is a simple helper class that parses CLI args and stores the result.
- `run_app()` is the new entrypoint. It first parses CLI args, then runs `invoke_api` to start the app.
The `invokeai-web` project script and `invokeai-web.py` dev script now call `run_app()` instead of `invoke_api()`.
The first time `get_config()` is called to get the singleton config object, it retrieves the args from `InvokeAIArgs`, sets the root dir if provided, then merges settings in from `invokeai.yaml`.
CLI arg parsing is now safely insulated from application code, but still accessible. And we don't need to worry about import order having an impact on anything, because by the time the app is running, we have already parsed CLI args. Whew!
- 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.
This script removes unused translations from the `en.json` source translation file:
- Parse `en.json` to build a list of all keys, e.g. `controlnet.depthAnything`
- Check every frontend file for every key
- If the key is not found, it is removed from the translation file
- Exact matches (e.g. `controlnet.depthAnything`) and stem matches (e.g. `depthAnything`) are ignored
The graph builders used awaited functions within `Array.prototype.forEach` loops. This doesn't do what you'd think. This caused graphs to be enqueued before they were fully constructed.
Changed to `for..of` loops to fix this.
There wasn't enough validation of control adapters during graph building. It would be possible for a graph to be built with empty collect node, causing an error. Addressed with an extra check.
This should never happen in practice, because the invoke button should be disabled if an invalid CA is active.
Recently the schema for models was changed to a generic `ModelField`, and the UI was unable to derive the type of those fields. This didn't affect functionality, but it did break the styling of handles.
Add `ui_type` to the affected fields and update the UI to use the correct capitalizations.
Without this, the form will incorrectly compare its state to its initial default values to determine if it is dirty. Instead, it should reset its default values to the new values after successful submit.
