Fixes #8971.

Description

This is a possible way of getting CI tests to skip cleanly when only documentation is changed. This introduces a job to the CI action to assess whether only documentation is changed, that is only documentation files or docstrings/comments in Python files. Any other changes triggers tests.

Types of changes

  • Non-breaking change (fix or new feature that would not break existing functionality).
  • Breaking change (fix or new feature that would cause existing functionality to change).
  • New tests added to cover the changes.
  • Integration tests passed locally by running ./runtests.sh -f -u --net --coverage.
  • Quick tests passed locally by running ./runtests.sh --quick --unittests --disttests.
  • In-line docstrings updated.
  • Documentation updated, tested make html command in the docs/ folder.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflow now runs for documentation-only changes and uses test_skip to detect source changes. CI jobs skip setup and tests when only documentation or docstrings changed. The new compare_sources utility performs AST-based comparisons and is exported and tested. The documentation heading syntax is corrected.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f4d5b

New documentation files can trigger the full test suite and be blocked by unrelated failures, so the documentation-only workflow goal is incomplete. The risk is localized and straightforward to fix.

As per path instructions, **/*.py: “Docstrings should be present for all definition which describe each variable, return value, and raised exception in the appropriate section of the Google-style of docstrings.”

In @.github/workflows/cicd_tests.yml:
- Line 59: Update the actions/checkout step to use fetch-depth: 2 so HEAD^ is
available, and modify the diff failure handling to set skip=0 when the git diff
pipeline fails, ensuring downstream tests are not skipped.

In `@docs/source/utils.rst`:
- Line 90: Replace the mixed-character section underline beneath “Compare
Sources” with a valid underline composed only of hyphens, preserving the section
heading and reStructuredText structure.

In `@monai/utils/compare_sources.py`:
- Around line 57-58: Update the module transformations in the source comparison
flow to call RemoveDocstrings.visit via remdoc.visit on each parsed module
instead of generic_visit, ensuring root-level module docstrings are removed
before comparison. Add a focused test pair covering sources that differ only in
their module docstrings.
- Line 22: Remove the monai.config.type_definitions import from
compare_sources.py and use standard-library typing that preserves the existing
str | os.PathLike contract. Add a direct CLI regression test for running the
script before MONAI is installed, verifying comparisons retain their expected
behavior.

🟡 Minor · Classify documentation files before git show. · cicd_tests.yml:71-95

.github/workflows/cicd_tests.yml:71-95
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Classify documentation files before git show.

For a newly added .md, .rst, or .cff file, git show HEAD^:$i fails before compare_sources.py runs. The workflow then writes skip=0, which enables the gated test jobs. Classify these documentation paths before requiring the parent revision.

Minimal fix
         do
           echo "Checking for changes: $i"
+          case "$i" in
+            *.md|*.rst|*.cff)
+              continue
+              ;;
+          esac
           if ! git show HEAD^:$i > /tmp/check_changes/$(basename $i)
