Hi. I'm struggling to build a Bento which is in a monorepo structure. We have a Python tree like this:

py/
  model-1/
    pyproject.toml
  model-2/
    pyproject.toml
  common/
    pyproject.toml

I'm struggling to figure out how to get this to work, for

model-1

to depend on

common

when

common

is in the same repo. I've tried with

uv add ../common

, and with creating a symlink from inside

model-1

to

common

, eg.

ln -s ../common common

. I've also added

include = ["common/"]

to

[tool.bentoml.build]

as per https://docs.bentoml.com/en/latest/reference/bentoml/bento-build-options.html#include. What's the correct recipe here? Thanks!

Also interested in this, especially while using the Python API for configuring the build options. for now, I am manually copying the files to the service root (model-1 ...)

Just to be clear, I named the directories in my example badly - those top-level model directories actually contain bentos, not models. So, the problem is that I can't figure out how to get a bento to depend on a python project that doesn't live somewhere else on the network - I just want a source dependency.

Hello we are discussing internally and will get back with some recommendation

I'm currently going down the path of getting wheels of the shared code published, but it's a bit of a pain - we use a monorepo structure to avoid all this publishing machinery. It's a bit pointless when you're the only consumer! 🙂 We much prefer source dependencies.

Hello! Sorry, we let this slip past. In short, currently we do not support local dependencies by source. You would have to build the wheel

OK, that's unfortunate. Thanks for following up.
