Summary

PyTorch explains how its tests are dynamically generated at import time, affecting CI failure names, and offers a blog to help contributors understand the testing workflow.

Ever wondered why a PyTorch CI test failure name doesn't exactly match your source file? Because PyTorch tests are generated dynamically at import time across various devices and dtypes, CI failures often display specific names that differ from the original template. Understanding how device-generic tests, OpInfos, and CI sharding fit together can significantly speed up your development and contribution workflow. Read our latest blog which provides a contributor's perspective on how to get started with testing in PyTorch. Link in comments
