🐛 Change Type Classification: Bug Fix

This PR addresses a configuration issue with version file management - the .gitignore was configured to ignore src/ragas/_version.py but the file was tracked in git, causing version conflicts.

Code Review

Positive Aspects

  1. Correct Problem Identification: The issue was properly identified - src/ragas/_version.py should indeed be auto-generated and ignored in git
  2. Clean Solution: Removing the tracked file and relying on the existing gitignore entry is the right approach
  3. Consistent with Build System:
    • pyproject.toml:125 specifies version_file = "src/ragas/_version.py"
    • setuptools_scm will auto-generate this file during build
    • The gitignore entry at line 170 correctly excludes this auto-generated file

🔍 Technical Analysis

Version Handling Architecture:

  • Project uses setuptools_scm for dynamic versioning (pyproject.toml:35 - dynamic = ["version"])
  • Version is imported with fallback in src/ragas/__init__.py:10-12:
    try:
        from ._version import version as __version__
    except ImportError:
        __version__ = "unknown version"
  • This graceful fallback ensures the package works even when _version.py doesn't exist

GitIgnore Configuration:

  • Line 170: src/ragas/_version.py - correctly ignores the main package version
  • Line 171: experimental/ragas_experimental/_version.py - handles experimental package
  • Line 87: exclude = ["*.ipynb", "*/_version.py"] - ruff also excludes version files from linting

🎯 Change Assessment

Impact: ✅ Low Risk

  • No functional changes to code logic
  • Removes build artifact that shouldn't be tracked
  • Maintains version handling through setuptools_scm

Testing Considerations: ✅ Well Covered

  • The fallback mechanism in __init__.py handles missing version files
  • Build system will regenerate the file when needed
  • No breaking changes expected

💡 Recommendations

  1. Verification: After merge, confirm that:

    • python -c "import ragas; print(ragas.__version__)" works correctly
    • Version displays properly instead of "unknown version"
  2. Build Process: The version file will be auto-generated during:

    • Package installation (pip install)
    • Development setup (pip install -e .)
    • Build process (python -m build)

🔒 Security & Best Practices

  • ✅ No security concerns
  • ✅ Follows Python packaging best practices
  • ✅ Aligns with setuptools_scm conventions
  • ✅ Maintains clean git history by removing build artifacts

Summary

This is a well-executed fix for a common Python packaging issue. The change correctly removes a build artifact from version control while maintaining proper version handling through the established build system. The implementation is clean, safe, and follows best practices.

Recommendation: ✅ Approve and merge
