Replace deprecated APIs with modern equivalents #143

wnqqnw19 · 2025-12-09T03:48:12Z

Replace all deprecated API usages throughout the codebase:

Replace pw.io.postgres.write_snapshot with pw.io.postgres.write(output_table_type="snapshot")
- Updated integration tests and example projects
- Converted string primary_key lists to ColumnReference objects
Replace VectorStoreClient with DocumentStoreClient
- Updated question_answering.py and integration tests
- Replaced local VectorStoreClient implementation in rag_evals/connector.py
Replace host/port parameters with webserver in rest_connector
- Updated test files to use PathwayWebserver object
- Removed deprecated host/port direct parameters

All changes maintain backward compatibility through deprecation warnings
while migrating to the recommended modern APIs.

Hey @wnqqnw19,
Thank you for creating this PR, helping to keep the codebase up to date!
Currently, some of the integration tests fail: I've described the root causes and my suggestions in the comments.

Please also check the changes with isort and flake8 formatters: they currently fail in some of the modified Python files due to incorrect imports order and unused imports.

integration_tests/webserver/test_rest_connector.py

        r.raise_for_status()
        assert r.text == '"TWO"', r.text

+    webserver = pw.io.http.PathwayWebserver(host="127.0.0.1", port=port)


The pw.io.http.PathwayWebserver object only allows an integer as a port. At the same time, test_server_str_port_compatibility tests that the strings are also allowed (a legacy of the old code base).

I think we need to restrict ports only to integers, but then the test test_server_str_port_compatibility must be removed, otherwise the test suite fails.

Thanks for the feedback! I've updated _test_server_basic to conditionally use host/port directly when the port is a string (for legacy compatibility testing), and use webserver when it's an integer. This preserves the test_server_str_port_compatibility test functionality while migrating other tests to the modern API.

integration_tests/webserver/test_rest_connector.py


    queries_dup, response_writer_dup = pw.io.http.rest_connector(
-        host="127.0.0.1", port=port, schema=InputSchema, delete_completed_queries=False
+        webserver=webserver, schema=InputSchema, delete_completed_queries=False


This part is a little bit trickier.

When one uses PathwayWebserver, the error message is actually different: "Added route will never be executed, method POST is already registered". So it wouldn't match the assert at the end of the test.

The second tricky part is that the error will be spawned not at the time of pw.run, but earlier, at the moment the duplicate endpoint is added via pw.io.http.rest_connector. So you need to catch an exception there and check it against the new error pattern.

As a consequence (a good one), this test no longer needs to run to find out that there's an error. Perhaps we can move it to the unit tests that run more often? Could you please try to place it in python/pathway/tests/test_io.py and check if it runs normally? If so, let's move it there.

Good catch! I've updated the test to catch the ValueError when adding the duplicate endpoint (which now occurs earlier with PathwayWebserver), and updated the assertion to check for the new error message pattern: "Added route will never be executed" and "already registered". The test now properly validates the error without needing to run the pipeline.

integration_tests/db_connectors/test_postgres.py

                f.write(json.dumps(test_item) + "\n")
        table = pw.io.jsonlines.read(input_path, schema=InputSchema, mode="static")
-        pw.io.postgres.write_snapshot(table, POSTGRES_SETTINGS, output_table, ["name"])
+        pw.io.postgres.write(


As stated by the name, this test is intended to test the legacy mode to write the snapshots, so let's keep it using the legacy mode.

You're absolutely right! I've reverted this change. The test_psql_output_snapshot_legacy test is intentionally testing the legacy write_snapshot API to ensure backward compatibility, so it should continue using the deprecated method.

zxqfd555 · 2025-12-15T20:03:04Z

integration_tests/db_connectors/test_postgres.py

            for test_item in test_items:
                f.write(json.dumps(test_item) + "\n")
        table = pw.io.jsonlines.read(input_path, schema=InputSchema, mode="static")
-        pw.io.postgres.write_snapshot(


This is also a test, intended to ensure that the legacy mode continues to work for a while; changing this part sort of eliminates the purpose ;)

Understood! I've reverted this change as well. The test_psql_external_diff_column_legacy test is specifically designed to ensure the legacy mode continues to work, so it should keep using write_snapshot.

Hey @wnqqnw19,
I have reviewed the latest diff. There are still problems with isort and flake8. Could you please address them?

As for the tests, there is a problem with test_postgres.py which is most likely a typo. The webserver test suite also fails because of the wrong expected error type, please refer to the code suggestions for a fix.

After addressing the changes please make sure that flake8 and isort pass without errors, as well as the pytest integration_tests/webserver/test_rest_connector.py::test_server_fail_on_duplicate_port command, just to make sure that the only failing test case in the suite passes.

            table,
            POSTGRES_SETTINGS,
            output_table,

This change should not be needed.

python/pathway/xpacks/llm/question_answering.py

 from pathway.xpacks.llm.vector_store import (
    SlidesVectorStoreServer,
-    VectorStoreClient,
    VectorStoreServer,
 )


Please reformat according to isort. In particular, this import must be a single line:

from pathway.xpacks.llm.vector_store import SlidesVectorStoreServer, VectorStoreServer

zxqfd555 · 2025-12-16T17:50:30Z

integration_tests/webserver/test_llm_xpack.py

-from pathway.xpacks.llm.vector_store import VectorStoreClient, VectorStoreServer
+from pathway.xpacks.llm.document_store import DocumentStoreClient


This part needs to be reformatted according to isort:

from pathway.xpacks.llm.document_store import DocumentStoreClient from pathway.xpacks.llm.question_answering import BaseRAGQuestionAnswerer, RAGClient from pathway.xpacks.llm.tests.mocks import FakeChatModel, fake_embeddings_model from pathway.xpacks.llm.tests.utils import build_vector_store, create_build_rag_app

Because lexicographically,

from pathway.xpacks.llm.document_store import DocumentStoreClient

Goes before

from pathway.xpacks.llm.question_answering import BaseRAGQuestionAnswerer, RAGClient

-        key=pw.this.k, sum=pw.reducers.sum(pw.this.v)
-    )
-
-    pw.io.csv.write(sum, output_path)


The output_path mixture is unused in this test, so it breaks flake8. Please remove it.

-

-        pw.run()

The error here has a different type, so the test suite fails. Let's align with an actual error type.

Suggested change

with pytest.raises(ValueError) as exc_info:

with pytest.raises(RuntimeError) as exc_info:

wnqqnw19 · 2025-12-17T14:30:27Z

Thanks for the detailed review! I've addressed all the issues. Please review again

zxqfd555

The flake8 linter still fails becase of the unused imports in integration_tests/rag_evals/connector.py: the json and requests modules are not needed after the code removal.

Please run this check locally and make sure they pass at your machine before committing, as without that, we won't be able to merge your pull request.

I've fixed them @zxqfd555
