Wire LangChain 1.0 / LangGraph 1.0 tests into a GitHub Actions pipeline —

policy, and eval-regression merge gates. Complements langchain-local-dev-loop

The org runs pytest -W error and a provider SDK emitted a DeprecationWarning
at import time, which the warning filter promoted to an exception while pytest
was still walking the test tree. This is P45 and it blocks every PR for the
team until someone pins a filterwarnings config.
Meanwhile the integration suite has its own failure mode: a VCR cassette
recorded three months ago at temperature=0 against Anthropic is now flaking
against a snapshot. temperature=0 is not deterministic on Claude — it still
nucleus-samples (P05) — so the cassette captured one valid completion, not
the valid completion. And yesterday a reviewer caught
Authorization: Bearer sk-ant-... in a cassette file that had been committed
six weeks ago (P44) because vcrpy records all request headers by default.
This skill covers the outer loop: the GitHub Actions workflow, the unit /
integration / eval gate separation, VCR cassette hygiene, pytest warning
policy, and a merge-blocking eval regression gate. The inner loop — fake
model fixtures, VCR recording workflow, local determinism tricks — lives in
langchain-local-dev-loop (F23); cross-reference it, do not duplicate it.
Pin: langchain-core 1.0.x, langgraph 1.0.x, actions/checkout@v4,
actions/setup-python@v5, vcrpy 6.x. Pain-catalog anchors: P05, P43, P44, P45.

Instructions
Step 1 — GHA workflow skeleton with four jobs
Single workflow at . Matrix on unit only; keep
integration and eval single-version to control cost.

job definitions including the secret-injection pattern, the matrix caching
nuance, and the softprops/action-gh-release-style PR comment action used by
the eval job.
Step 2 — Unit job: -W error + filterwarnings to neutralize P45
Root cause of the collection abort: pytest collects tests by importing them.
Some provider SDKs emit DeprecationWarning on import. With -W error those
become exceptions during collection. Fix at the filter level, not by dropping
-W error (which would mask real warnings).
In pyproject.toml:
[tool.pytest.ini_options]filterwarnings = [
"error",
# P45 — neutralize known import-time noise; scoped per module so new# warnings from YOUR code still fail the build."ignore::DeprecationWarning:langchain_community.*",
"ignore::DeprecationWarning:pydantic.*",
"ignore:Pydantic serializer warnings:UserWarning",
]
asyncio_mode = "auto"testpaths = ["tests"]
The ordering matters — "error" first, specific "ignore" entries after, so
the filters override the global promote-to-error. Keep the list narrow: a
blanket ignore::DeprecationWarning hides regressions you need to see.
Unit tests use FakeListChatModel fixtures from F23 (do not redefine them
here). One CI-specific gotcha (P43): FakeListChatModel does not emit
response_metadata["token_usage"], so any callback that asserts on token counts
will break. Either subclass the fake and inject generation_info, or gate the
assertion:
deftest_chain_uses_tokens(patched_chat_model):
result = chain.invoke({"input": "hi"})
if patched_chat_model.__class__.__name__ == "FakeListChatModel":
pytest.skip("fake model doesn't emit token_usage (P43)")
assert result.response_metadata["token_usage"]["total_tokens"] > 0
Budget: unit job should finish in <2 minutes across the 3-version matrix.
If it doesn't, something is calling out to a real provider — check with
pytest --collect-only -q | wc -l and audit which tests lack fake-model
fixtures.
Integration tests replay pre-recorded VCR cassettes. Three rules:
Gate the job. if: contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'run-integration') or env.RUN_INTEGRATION == "1", plus a nightly cron that flips to VCR_MODE=once and re-records against live APIs. PRs default to pure replay.
Enforce filter_headers at the fixture level — not per-test. A single conftest.py prevents any contributor from recording a cassette with raw credentials.
Pre-commit + CI both scan cassettes for leaked keys. Belt and suspenders.
Fixture (lives in tests/integration/conftest.py, owned by this skill's
pipeline concern — F23 owns the recording workflow):
Integration suite must finish in <5 minutes wall-clock on the runner, or
you will start getting cancellation flakes from the concurrency block. If
you exceed 5 minutes, split into a nightly-only long tier.
See Integration Gating for the full
live-vs-replay decision tree, cost-per-run budget worksheet, and the
VCR_MODE flip pattern.
The eval job runs the langchain-eval-harness harness (see that skill for the
harness itself — this skill only covers the CI wire-up) against both the PR
branch and the merge base. Post a comment; block merge on regression.
scripts/run_eval.py is a thin CI wrapper: check out baseline and head via
git worktree, run the harness at each ref, diff the results, post a PR
comment, exit nonzero on regression. Full implementation in
Eval Regression Gate.

Two layers: local (pre-commit) and CI (re-runs the same hooks as a final
catch). Local alone is not sufficient — contributors can skip with -n. CI
alone is slow. Run both.
scan_cassettes.py greps for sk-[A-Za-z0-9]{20,}, sk-ant-[A-Za-z0-9_-]{20,},
AIza[A-Za-z0-9_-]{35} (Google), xoxb-, and Bearer [A-Za-z0-9._-]{20,}.
Fail on any match. This is your last line of defense before P44 ships to
main. See Pre-Commit Hooks for the full
pattern list, the prompt-convention lint rules (aligned with
claude-prompt-conventions), and the detect-secrets baseline-rotation policy.
LangChain 0.x → 1.0 moved integrations into provider packages. A chain that
imports from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI works in local dev if
you still have the old compat shim installed, and explodes in CI. Dry-run-load
every chain module at lint time:
# scripts/dryrun_load_chains.pyimport importlib, pathlib, sys, traceback
failures = []
for py in pathlib.Path("src/chains").rglob("*.py"):
mod = str(py.with_suffix("")).replace("/", ".")
try:
importlib.import_module(mod)
except Exception:
failures.append((mod, traceback.format_exc()))
if failures:
for mod, tb in failures:
print(f"::error::chain {mod} failed to import\n{tb}")
sys.exit(1)
Runs in the lint job. Costs ~5 seconds. Catches every ImportError and
every top-level NameError from a bad rename before a single unit test fires.

FakeListChatModel doesn't emit metadata (P43)
Subclass the fake to inject generation_info, or pytest.skip on fake-model detection
ImportError: cannot import name 'ChatOpenAI' from 'langchain.chat_models' in CI only
Legacy compat shim installed locally, not in CI
Add dryrun_load_chains.py to lint job; fail at lint, not at test

Examples
Wiring a new repo from scratch
Copy the Step 1 workflow, the Step 2 pyproject.toml block, and the Step 5
pre-commit config. Create tests/unit/, tests/integration/cassettes/,
scripts/run_eval.py, scripts/dryrun_load_chains.py,
scripts/scan_cassettes.py. Apply langchain-local-dev-loop (F23) first so
fake-model fixtures exist before the unit job runs. Enable required status
checks: unit (3.10), unit (3.11), unit (3.12), lint, eval.
Integration stays optional (label-gated).
Rotate every leaked key first (not a CI concern — incident response).
Then: add scan_cassettes.py to pre-commit, re-scan the full history with
git log -p -- tests/integration/cassettes/, rewrite history with
git-filter-repo if keys hit main, enforce the filter_headers fixture
going forward. See Pre-Commit Hooks for the
full pattern list and the detect-secrets baseline-rotation playbook.
Wiring the eval harness into an existing repo
The harness itself lives in langchain-eval-harness. THIS skill only supplies
run_eval.py (the CI wrapper that reads the harness output, computes deltas,
and posts PR comments) plus the gate thresholds. Drop in the Step 4 script,
add the eval job to .github/workflows/tests.yml, make eval a required
status check. See Eval Regression Gate
for the PR-comment Markdown template and the n≥100 noise-budget derivation.
