Vector store integration tests¶

VectorStoreIntegrationTests ¶

Bases: BaseStandardTests

Base class for vector store integration tests.

Implementers should subclass this test suite and provide a fixture that returns an empty vector store for each test.

The fixture should use the get_embeddings method to get a pre-defined embeddings model that should be used for this test suite.

Here is a template:

from typing import Generator

import pytest
from langchain_core.vectorstores import VectorStore
from langchain_parrot_link.vectorstores import ParrotVectorStore
from langchain_tests.integration_tests.vectorstores import VectorStoreIntegrationTests


class TestParrotVectorStore(VectorStoreIntegrationTests):
    @pytest.fixture()
    def vectorstore(self) -> Generator[VectorStore, None, None]:  # type: ignore
        """Get an empty vectorstore."""
        store = ParrotVectorStore(self.get_embeddings())
        # note: store should be EMPTY at this point
        # if you need to delete data, you may do so here
        try:
            yield store
        finally:
            # cleanup operations, or deleting data
            pass

In the fixture, before the yield we instantiate an empty vector store. In the finally block, we call whatever logic is necessary to bring the vector store to a clean state.

from typing import Generator

import pytest
from langchain_core.vectorstores import VectorStore
from langchain_tests.integration_tests.vectorstores import VectorStoreIntegrationTests

from langchain_chroma import Chroma


class TestChromaStandard(VectorStoreIntegrationTests):
    @pytest.fixture()
    def vectorstore(self) -> Generator[VectorStore, None, None]:  # type: ignore
        """Get an empty VectorStore for unit tests."""
        store = Chroma(embedding_function=self.get_embeddings())
        try:
            yield store
        finally:
            store.delete_collection()
            pass

Note that by default we enable both sync and async tests. To disable either, override the has_sync or has_async properties to False in the subclass. For example:

class TestParrotVectorStore(VectorStoreIntegrationTests):
    @pytest.fixture()
    def vectorstore(self) -> Generator[VectorStore, None, None]:  # type: ignore
        ...

    @property
    def has_async(self) -> bool:
        return False

Note

API references for individual test methods include troubleshooting tips.

has_sync `property` ¶

has_sync: bool

Configurable property to enable or disable sync tests.

has_async `property` ¶

has_async: bool

Configurable property to enable or disable async tests.

has_get_by_ids `property` ¶

has_get_by_ids: bool

Whether the VectorStore supports get_by_ids.

test_no_overrides_DO_NOT_OVERRIDE ¶

test_no_overrides_DO_NOT_OVERRIDE() -> None

Test that no standard tests are overridden.

vectorstore `abstractmethod` ¶

vectorstore() -> VectorStore

Get the VectorStore class to test.

The returned VectorStore should be empty.

get_embeddings `staticmethod` ¶

get_embeddings() -> Embeddings

Get embeddings.

A pre-defined embeddings model that should be used for this test.

This currently uses DeterministicFakeEmbedding from langchain-core, which uses numpy to generate random numbers based on a hash of the input text.

The resulting embeddings are not meaningful, but they are deterministic.

test_vectorstore_is_empty ¶

test_vectorstore_is_empty(vectorstore: VectorStore) -> None

Test that the VectorStore is empty.

Troubleshooting

If this test fails, check that the test class (i.e., sub class of VectorStoreIntegrationTests) initializes an empty vector store in the vectorestore fixture.

test_add_documents ¶

test_add_documents(vectorstore: VectorStore) -> None

Test adding documents into the VectorStore.

Troubleshooting

If this test fails, check that:

We correctly initialize an empty vector store in the vectorestore fixture.
Calling similarity_search for the top k similar documents does not threshold by score.
We do not mutate the original document object when adding it to the vector store (e.g., by adding an ID).

test_vectorstore_still_empty ¶

test_vectorstore_still_empty(vectorstore: VectorStore) -> None

Test that the VectorStore is still empty.

This test should follow a test that adds documents.

This just verifies that the fixture is set up properly to be empty after each test.

Troubleshooting

If this test fails, check that the test class (i.e., sub class of VectorStoreIntegrationTests) correctly clears the vector store in the finally block.

test_deleting_documents ¶

test_deleting_documents(vectorstore: VectorStore) -> None

Test deleting documents from the VectorStore.

Troubleshooting

If this test fails, check that add_documents preserves identifiers passed in through ids, and that delete correctly removes documents.

test_deleting_bulk_documents ¶

test_deleting_bulk_documents(vectorstore: VectorStore) -> None

Test that we can delete several documents at once.

Troubleshooting

If this test fails, check that delete correctly removes multiple documents when given a list of IDs.

test_delete_missing_content ¶

test_delete_missing_content(vectorstore: VectorStore) -> None

Deleting missing content should not raise an exception.

Troubleshooting

If this test fails, check that delete does not raise an exception when deleting IDs that do not exist.

test_add_documents_with_ids_is_idempotent ¶

test_add_documents_with_ids_is_idempotent(vectorstore: VectorStore) -> None

Adding by ID should be idempotent.

Troubleshooting

If this test fails, check that adding the same document twice with the same IDs has the same effect as adding it once (i.e., it does not duplicate the documents).

test_add_documents_by_id_with_mutation ¶

test_add_documents_by_id_with_mutation(vectorstore: VectorStore) -> None

Test that we can overwrite by ID using add_documents.

Troubleshooting

If this test fails, check that when add_documents is called with an ID that already exists in the vector store, the content is updated rather than duplicated.

test_get_by_ids ¶

test_get_by_ids(vectorstore: VectorStore) -> None

Test get by IDs.

This test requires that get_by_ids be implemented on the vector store.

Troubleshooting

If this test fails, check that get_by_ids is implemented and returns documents in the same order as the IDs passed in.

Note

get_by_ids was added to the VectorStore interface in langchain-core version 0.2.11. If difficult to implement, this test can be skipped by setting the has_get_by_ids property to False.

@property
def has_get_by_ids(self) -> bool:
    return False

test_get_by_ids_missing ¶

test_get_by_ids_missing(vectorstore: VectorStore) -> None

Test get by IDs with missing IDs.

Troubleshooting

If this test fails, check that get_by_ids is implemented and does not raise an exception when given IDs that do not exist.

Note

get_by_ids was added to the VectorStore interface in langchain-core version 0.2.11. If difficult to implement, this test can be skipped by setting the has_get_by_ids property to False.

@property
def has_get_by_ids(self) -> bool:
    return False

test_add_documents_documents ¶

test_add_documents_documents(vectorstore: VectorStore) -> None

Run add_documents tests.

Troubleshooting

If this test fails, check that get_by_ids is implemented and returns documents in the same order as the IDs passed in.

Check also that add_documents will correctly generate string IDs if none are provided.

Note

get_by_ids was added to the VectorStore interface in langchain-core version 0.2.11. If difficult to implement, this test can be skipped by setting the has_get_by_ids property to False.

@property
def has_get_by_ids(self) -> bool:
    return False

test_add_documents_with_existing_ids ¶

test_add_documents_with_existing_ids(vectorstore: VectorStore) -> None

Test that add_documents with existing IDs is idempotent.

Troubleshooting

If this test fails, check that get_by_ids is implemented and returns documents in the same order as the IDs passed in.

This test also verifies that:

IDs specified in the Document.id field are assigned when adding documents.
If some documents include IDs and others don't string IDs are generated for the latter.

Note

get_by_ids was added to the VectorStore interface in langchain-core version 0.2.11. If difficult to implement, this test can be skipped by setting the has_get_by_ids property to False.

@property
def has_get_by_ids(self) -> bool:
    return False
