Development

Checkout the repository and get a development environment with script/setup. This will create a new virtual environment in the venv directory of the repository, and install all necessary requirements.

Before developing, always activate your virtual environment with source venv/bin/activate.

Run tests

Validate that the data is correctly formatted:

python3 -m script.intentfest validate --language nl

Run the tests. This will parse the sentences and verifies them with the test sentences.

pytest tests --language nl -k fan_HassTurnOn

Leave off --language to test all languages. Leave off -k to test all files.

Test parsing sentences

You can try parsing sentences for a specific language with:

python3 -m script.intentfest parse --language en --sentence 'turn on the lights in the kitchen'

This will print a line of JSON for each --sentence:

{
  "text": "turn on the lights in the kitchen",
  "match": true,
  "intent": "HassTurnOn",
  "slots": {
    "area": "kitchen",
    "domain": "light"
  }
}

Test sampling sentences

You can sample the possible sentences for a specific language with:

python3 -m script.intentfest sample --language en -n 1

This will print a line of JSON for each possible sentence:

python3 -m script.intentfest sample --language en -n 1
{"intent": "HassTurnOff", "text": "turn off all the fan in the kitchen"}
{"intent": "HassTurnOn", "text": "turn on the light in the kitchen"}
{"intent": "HassCloseCover", "text": "close the bedroom lamp"}
{"intent": "HassClimateSetTemperature", "text": "set the temp to 0 degrees celsius"}
{"intent": "HassLightSet", "text": "set the bedroom lamp brightness to 0 percent"}
{"intent": "HassOpenCover", "text": "open the bedroom lamp"}
{"intent": "HassClimateGetTemperature", "text": "what's the temp "}

You can filter for specific intents by adding --intents HassTurnOn HassTurnOff.

Leave off -n to generate all possible sentences.

Test sampling template

To quickly test a sentence template, use:

python3 -m script.intentfest sample_template <template>

For example:

python3 -m script.intentfest sample_template 'open [the] door'
open the door
open door

You can add lists, ranges, and expansion rules as well:

python3 -m script.intentfest sample_template 'set color to <color> and brightness to {brightness}' --values color red green --range brightness 1 2 --rule color '[the] {color}'

Add new language

python3 -m script.intentfest add_language <language code> <language name>

<language code> should be something like en or pl according to ISO 639.

Language name should be the name of the language in its own language.
