Summary of Changes

Hello @marcusmotill, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a new runtime abstraction layer to centralize and control system-level operations such as retrieving the current time and generating unique identifiers. This change is fundamental for enabling deterministic execution, which is a key requirement for building durable integrations. By abstracting these operations, the system gains the flexibility to inject custom providers, facilitating testing and ensuring consistent behavior across different execution environments.

Highlights

  • New Runtime Abstraction Module: Introduced a new runtime module (src/google/adk/runtime.py) to abstract system primitives such as time retrieval and UUID generation. This module provides set_time_provider and set_id_provider functions, allowing custom implementations to be injected for deterministic behavior.
  • Integration with Event and Session Services: Modified Event (src/google/adk/events/event.py) and InMemorySessionService (src/google/adk/sessions/in_memory_session_service.py) to utilize the new runtime module for obtaining timestamps and generating unique identifiers, replacing direct calls to datetime.now().timestamp(), time.time(), and uuid.uuid4().
  • Comprehensive Unit Tests for Runtime Module: Added a new test file (tests/unittests/test_runtime.py) with unit tests for the runtime module, covering both default behavior and the functionality of setting and using custom time and ID providers.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a runtime module to abstract system primitives like time and UUID generation, which is a great step towards enabling deterministic execution for durable integrations. The changes in event.py and in_memory_session_service.py correctly adopt this new module. My review focuses on improving the maintainability and testability of the new runtime module by suggesting a way to centralize the default provider logic, which will simplify test setup and teardown.

To improve maintainability and testability, it's better to avoid duplicating the default provider logic in the test files. I suggest introducing private module-level constants for the default providers and adding a reset_providers function. This provides a single source of truth for the default providers and simplifies test teardown logic, making the module more robust.

_default_time_provider: Callable[[], float] = time.time
_default_id_provider: Callable[[], str] = lambda: str(uuid.uuid4())

_time_provider: Callable[[], float] = _default_time_provider
_id_provider: Callable[[], str] = _default_id_provider


def def set_time_provider(provider: Callable[[], float]) -> None:
  """Sets the provider for the current time.

  Args:
    provider: A callable that returns the current time in seconds since the
      epoch.
  """
  global _time_provider
  _time_provider = provider


def set_id_provider(provider: Callable[[], str]) -> None:
  """Sets the provider for generating unique IDs.

  Args:
    provider: A callable that returns a unique ID string.
  """
  global _id_provider
  _id_provider = provider


def reset_providers() -> None:
  """Resets the time and ID providers to their default implementations."""
  global _time_provider, _id_provider
  _time_provider = _default_time_provider
  _id_provider = _default_id_provider


def get_time() -> float:
  """Returns the current time in seconds since the epoch."""
  return _time_provider()


def new_uuid() -> str:
  """Returns a new unique ID."""
  return _id_provider()

To avoid duplicating the default provider logic from the runtime module and to make the tests more robust against future changes, it's better to use a dedicated reset function. Following my suggestion on src/google/adk/runtime.py, you can call runtime.reset_providers() here. This centralizes the reset logic and ensures tests are always resetting to the correct default state.

Suggested change
runtime.set_time_provider(time.time)
runtime.set_id_provider(lambda: str(uuid.uuid4()))
runtime.reset_providers()
