Switch from Poetry to uv

[wintonzheng]

Summary

• use uv for local scripts
• replace Poetry with uv in Dockerfile
• document uv in README files
• migrate CI/CD workflows to uv

Description

This pull request migrates the project's Python package management from Poetry to uv across all environments and workflows. The change affects CI/CD pipelines, Docker builds, local development scripts, and documentation. Key modifications include:

• CI/CD Workflows: Updated .github/workflows/ci.yml, .github/workflows/codeflash.yaml, and .github/workflows/sdk-release.yml to use uv instead of Poetry for dependency management and virtual environment creation
• Docker Build: Simplified Dockerfile by removing the multi-stage Poetry-based requirements generation and directly using uv pip install
• Local Development: Updated run_skyvern.sh to create and activate virtual environments using uv venv and install dependencies with uv pip install
• Documentation: Updated README files to reference uv instead of Poetry for installation instructions

The migration maintains the same dependency caching strategy but updates cache keys to include both pyproject.toml and poetry.lock files. All workflow steps that previously used poetry run commands now activate the virtual environment manually and run commands directly.

Testing

• pre-commit run --all-files (fails: pre-commit not installed)
• pytest (fails: missing dependencies)

Changes that Break Backward Compatibility

This change may break backward compatibility for developers who have existing Poetry-based local development setups. Developers will need to:

• Install uv instead of Poetry
• Use uv pip install -e . instead of poetry install
• Activate virtual environments manually with source .venv/bin/activate instead of using poetry run

Documentation

Updated documentation includes:

• README.md: Changed installation command from pip install -e . to uv pip install -e .
• skyvern/webeye/README.md: Updated prerequisites to mention uv instead of Poetry and changed installation instructions

1. .github/workflows/ci.yml:48

• Draft comment:
  Cache key now hashes both 'pyproject.toml' and 'poetry.lock'. Since the switch to uv is underway, consider updating or removing references to 'poetry.lock' if uv uses a different lock file.
• Reason this comment was not posted:
  Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 20% vs. threshold = 50% The comment identifies a real inconsistency - we're switching from Poetry to uv but still using poetry.lock in the cache key. However, I don't see strong evidence that uv uses a different lock file named uv.lock. The suggestion to use uv.lock seems speculative without confirmation of uv's lock file naming convention. I might be too hesitant - if we're removing Poetry entirely, the poetry.lock reference will definitely be wrong. But the suggested fix assumes facts about uv that aren't verified. While the comment identifies a real issue, making assumptions about uv's lock file format could lead to broken CI. Better to let the author research the correct uv caching approach. The comment should be deleted because it makes speculative assumptions about uv's lock file format without clear evidence.

2. .github/workflows/ci.yml:51

• Draft comment:
  The dependency installation command 'uv pip install -e "[dev]"' is run conditionally and then again unconditionally. This duplication might be redundant—consider consolidating them to avoid unnecessary re-installation.
• Reason this comment was not posted:
  Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 10% vs. threshold = 50% This pattern is actually common and intentional in dependency management. The first conditional install happens only on cache miss and sets up the full environment. The second unconditional install ensures any new dependencies are installed even if the cache hit. This is not redundant - it's a standard pattern to handle both cache hit and miss cases correctly. Maybe there's a more efficient way to handle both cache scenarios that I'm not aware of? The comment author might have experience with a better pattern. While there might be other patterns, this is a standard and well-understood approach. The apparent duplication serves a specific purpose in dependency management with caching. The comment should be deleted because it suggests removing a pattern that is actually correct and necessary for proper dependency management with caching.

3. .github/workflows/ci.yml:80

• Draft comment:
  Using 'source .venv/bin/activate' assumes the virtual environment exists. Ensure that a .venv is reliably created (e.g. via 'uv venv') before these activation steps are executed.
• Reason this comment was not posted:
  Comment looked like it was already resolved.

4. .github/workflows/codeflash.yaml:40

• Draft comment:
  Consider using a uv-specific execution command (if available, e.g. 'uv run codeflash') rather than manually sourcing the virtual environment, to streamline and standardize the execution process.
• Reason this comment was not posted:
  Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 20% vs. threshold = 50% While the comment is about changed code (switching from poetry to uv), I need to consider: 1) Is this a clear improvement? 2) Do we know for sure 'uv run' exists and works? 3) The current approach using source and activate is a very standard, well-understood pattern. 4) The comment is somewhat speculative with "if available". I might be overlooking potential benefits of uv-specific commands that could make the workflow more robust. The current solution might have hidden issues with virtual environment activation. The standard venv activation pattern is well-tested and works reliably across environments. The speculative nature of the comment ("if available") suggests uncertainty about the alternative. Delete the comment. The suggested change is speculative, and the current solution uses a standard, reliable pattern for virtual environment activation.

5. .github/workflows/sdk-release.yml:58

• Draft comment:
  The cache key again includes 'poetry.lock' along with 'pyproject.toml'. Revisit if uv produces a different lock file, to ensure the dependency cache remains fresh.
• Reason this comment was not posted:
  Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 20% vs. threshold = 50% The comment raises a valid point - we're using poetry.lock in the cache key but switched to uv. However, this is more of a speculative "maybe this could be an issue" type comment. We don't know if uv actually uses a different lock file format or if this will cause any real problems. The cache will simply miss and rebuild if needed. The comment identifies a potential inconsistency that could affect build efficiency. If uv uses a different lock file, the cache key won't properly invalidate. While technically correct, this is a speculative comment about a potential future issue. The worst case is just a cache miss, which isn't a critical problem. This comment should be deleted as it's speculative and doesn't identify a clear, immediate problem that needs fixing.

6. .github/workflows/sdk-release.yml:72

• Draft comment:
  Installing twine inline using 'uv pip install twine && twine upload ...' could obscure errors during install. Consider separating the installation of twine from the upload command to improve clarity and error handling.
• Reason this comment was not posted:
  Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 20% vs. threshold = 50% While the comment suggests a valid practice, the risk is minimal in this context. The twine installation is very simple and unlikely to fail silently. If it fails, the whole step will fail clearly. GitHub Actions shows clear output for each command in the chain. The current approach is concise and common in CI scripts. I might be underestimating the value of explicit error handling in a release workflow. A failed release due to unclear errors could be problematic. The simplicity of installing a single package (twine) via uv makes the risk very low, and GitHub Actions provides good visibility into command execution regardless. The comment should be deleted as it suggests a change that would add complexity without meaningful benefit in this specific context.

7. Dockerfile:3

• Draft comment:
  The Dockerfile installs uv globally and uses it to install the package. If isolation is desired, consider creating a virtual environment using 'uv venv' before installing dependencies.
• Reason this comment was not posted:
  Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 20% vs. threshold = 50% Using Docker already provides container isolation. While virtual environments are good practice in development, they add less value inside a container where the entire environment is already isolated. The comment seems to be suggesting a best practice that isn't as relevant in this containerized context. Maybe there are specific isolation requirements we don't know about. Virtual environments could provide an extra layer of dependency isolation even within containers. The container itself provides strong isolation, and adding a virtual environment would increase complexity without providing significant benefits in this context. Delete the comment as it suggests additional complexity that isn't necessary given the containerized environment.

8. run_skyvern.sh:14

• Draft comment:
  The script conditionally runs 'uv venv' if .venv is missing. Ensure that 'uv venv' reliably creates the virtual environment for consistent local development setups.
• Reason this comment was not posted:
  Comment did not seem useful. Confidence is useful = 0% <= threshold 50% The comment is asking the PR author to ensure that 'uv venv' reliably creates the virtual environment. This falls under the rule of not asking the author to ensure behavior is intended or tested. Therefore, this comment should be removed.

9. README.md:395

• Draft comment:
  The README now uses 'uv pip install -e .' which aligns with the new tool. Verify that all documentation and examples reflect the removal of Poetry for consistency.
• Reason this comment was not posted:
  Confidence changes required: 50% <= threshold 50% None

10. skyvern/webeye/README.md:23

• Draft comment:
  The WebHuman README updates prerequisites and installation to use uv. Ensure that any additional uv-specific guidance is included for new users.
• Reason this comment was not posted:
  Confidence changes required: 50% <= threshold 50% None
