What does this PR do?

Type of change: Tests (CI speed-up)

Follow-up to #2724. Each step of the diffusers example tests started a fresh python <script>.py subprocess. On the tiny test models most of each step was startup: about 20s importing torch/diffusers/modelopt and initializing CUDA. For example, quantize.py's own timer reports 3.1s for the SDXL quantize run inside a ~30s step.

  • In-process runner (tests/_test_utils/examples/diffusers_example_runner.py). It plugs into the existing set_in_process_runner hook, like the megatron_bridge suite does, and runs the script with runpy.run_path(..., run_name="__main__"). Argument parsing and if __name__ == "__main__": blocks run exactly as on the command line; diffusion_trt.py swaps torch.nn.RMSNorm only in that block. After each step it puts back the process-wide state the script changed:
    • sibling modules imported by bare name (config, utils, quantize, ...), with any same-named module imported elsewhere stashed and restored;
    • the torch.nn.RMSNorm swap;
    • logger levels, plus the handlers quantize.py attaches to the captured stdout;
    • warning filters, the environment, the working directory and sys.path.
  • Opt-in per module with pytestmark = pytest.mark.usefixtures("in_process_examples"): test_diffusers.py, test_export_diffusers_hf_ckpt.py and sparsity/test_sparsity.py. The deprecated ONNX/TRT test, which CI doesn't run, keeps using subprocesses.
  • torch.compile steps stay in a subprocess. They already pass env=, which forces one, and that is where the Inductor settings and cudagraphs belong. The expected fallback warning is filtered.
  • examples/diffusers/quantization/{onnx_utils,calib}/__init__.py. As namespace packages these dirs lose to any same-named regular module anywhere on sys.path. Importing onnxruntime.transformers appends its own directory, which holds an onnx_utils.py. Once that has happened in a long-lived process, from onnx_utils.export import ... in diffusion_trt.py and in the ONNX/TRT deprecation test resolves to onnxruntime's module. A fresh subprocess never hit this. Making them regular packages lets the example's own directory win. Both files contain only the license header.

Usage

N/A (tests only).

Testing

I ran these on an RTX PRO 6000 in nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:26.07-py3, set up like the CI lane (editable .[onnx,hf,dev-test], diffusers==0.39.0). Both runs used pytest tests/examples/diffusers --ignore=test_diffusers_onnx_trt.py --ignore=fastgen --cov, with COVERAGE_PROCESS_START set as in CI:

main (af07754) this PR
Result 40 passed 40 passed
Wall time 22m35s 4m07s
Coverage (statements missed / total) 54899 / 68343 54899 / 68343

Per-test examples:

  • SDXL int8 quantize + HF export + restore: 60s → 11s
  • each Wan 2.2 quantize + restore: ~50s → ~3s
  • each sparsity script run: ~25s → ~2s

The three torch.compile tests remain the bulk. They took 113s locally on a warm Inductor cache and 190s on #2724's CI run, so I expect the lane's pytest step to drop from about 21 min to about 6 min.

  • tests/unit/test_diffusers_example_runner.py (CPU): runs a fake example that makes all of the above process-wide changes, imports a bare-name sibling utils while another module named utils is already loaded, and exits nonzero on request. It checks the output is captured and every change is undone, and that a nonzero exit raises with the output attached.
  • pre-commit passes.

Before your PR is "Ready for review"

  • Is this change backward compatible?: ✅ (the two __init__.py files only turn namespace packages into regular ones)
  • If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP dependency, did you follow guidance in CONTRIBUTING.md: N/A
  • Did you write any new necessary tests?: ✅ tests/unit/test_diffusers_example_runner.py
  • Did you update Changelog?: N/A (tests only)
  • Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: ❌

Additional Information

  • This touches tests/_test_utils/, so CI runs every example test lane.
  • Example scripts' own warnings now appear in pytest's warnings summary instead of being lost in subprocess output.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Diffusers example tests now support running examples within the test process, with captured output available for successful and failed runs.
    • Test runs restore process state after execution, including environment settings and logging.
    • Expanded coverage checks example execution, failure reporting, and cleanup behavior.

Each example step was a fresh `python <script>.py` subprocess that spent
~20s importing torch/diffusers/modelopt and initializing CUDA, which was
most of every step on the tiny test models. A new in-process runner
executes the script with runpy as __main__ and puts back the
process-wide state it changes (bare-name sibling modules, the RMSNorm
swap, logging, warning filters, environment, cwd, sys.path).

The torch.compile steps stay in a subprocess (they pass env=), where
the Inductor settings and cudagraphs belong.

Make the quantization example's onnx_utils/ and calib/ regular
packages: as namespace packages they lose to any same-named module on
sys.path, and importing onnxruntime.transformers appends a directory
holding its own onnx_utils.py.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fc1b3

In-process examples can leave state that changes later tests, and a path change can interrupt cleanup. Restore that state before merging.

Restore levels for loggers created by the script.

If a script creates a logger and sets its level, that logger is absent from levels. Its level persists after the run and can change later tests’ logging. Reset the levels of newly created loggers during cleanup.

Restore the complete sys.path snapshot.

If a script appends a path, removing only example_dir leaves that path in later tests. If a script removes example_dir, this cleanup raises ValueError and skips the remaining state restoration. Save sys.path before the run and restore its original list and contents in finally.

Approve: the in-process runner is correct, has unit tests, plugs into the existing set_in_process_runner hook, and changes only test code. The new __init__.py headers match LICENSE_HEADER exactly.

No action needed.

No action needed:

  • The runner restores sibling-module shadowing, the RMSNorm swap, the environment (added keys deleted), warning filters, the working directory, sys.path, logger levels, and the handlers bound to captured stdout. A nonzero exit raises with captured_output, so the existing HF transient retry still works. Steps that pass env= (torch.compile) still run as subprocesses, and that warning is filtered.
  • The fixture is enabled per test, so the runner can't leak into later example suites.
  • Some state isn't reset between steps: torch.backends flags, modelopt registries, and loggers first created by a script. None of it caused failures in the author's runs, which had identical pass counts and coverage.
  • _all_loggers and the gc/empty_cache cleanup partly duplicate megatron_example_runner.py. They could move into a shared helper later.
  • Tests were read but not run.

Complex PR: 1 existing test file modified or removed. Looping in a human for approval.

[P2] Please restore the full sys.path snapshot here. A script-added entry survives this remove() and can change imports in later tests; I reproduced that with a script that appends one path. If a script removes example_dir, this line also raises ValueError before the remaining state is restored. Saving the original path and restoring its contents in finally handles both cases.

[P3] Please reset levels for loggers created during the script as well. They are absent from levels, so a level set by the script persists after the run; I reproduced this with a new logger set to ERROR. This also applies to quantize.py's __main__ logger if it did not exist before the first run.
