# Build Mega Service of ChatQnA on AIPC

@chensuyue,
Is there any AIPC ready for using in CI system?

@chensuyue, Is there any AIPC ready for using in CI system?

No, we don't have AIPC for CI.

We have few test on AIPC, so we don't have specific resource for those test. Unless we plan to implement AIPC test for all the examples, I will try to apply for an AIPC for test.
If this test able to run on Xeon as well, I suggest to change the test scripts name into ChatQnA/tests/test_compose_mariadb_on_xeon.sh and the test will be deploy on a xeon machine. And you can add some comments in the beginning of the scripts, reminder us to run this test on AIPC during release test (quarterly).

I've added a Xeon example here: #1916.
For testing, I had to build the dataprep and retriever Docker images myself. I'm not sure if merging opea-project/GenAIComps#1645 should have triggered a push to DockerHub.

As for this PR, feel free to close it, or if you find it valuable, you can merge it once an AIPC runner is available in CI.

Thanks!

Labeling this as WIP until we are ready for invest resources into AIPC testing.

Once the PR1654 merged, the related images in the dockerhub will be refreshed in one day or two. But in CI test, we always use images build from latest GenAIComps main branch.
Regarding to this PR, you can mark the test with _ as _test_compose_mariadb_on_aipc.sh, so it will not be triggered by CI. And leave a message if you pass the local test and we can merge it first.
