Slash Commands

vLLM Ascend supports slash commands in pull request comments to trigger CI workflows. See the Permission section for who can trigger each command.

Available Commands

/e2e

Run specific E2E tests under tests/e2e/pull_request/. Tests are automatically routed to the appropriate NPU runner based on the test path.

Examples:

# Run a single test on the default runner (a2 single card)
/e2e tests/e2e/pull_request/one_card/test_attention.py

# Run multiple tests across different runners
/e2e tests/e2e/pull_request/one_card/test_attention.py tests/e2e/pull_request/two_card/test_parallel.py

# Run tests on 310P
/e2e tests/e2e/pull_request/one_card/_310p/test_310p_ops.py

Routing rules (matched in order):

Test path contains	Runner
four_card/_310p	310P 4-card
_310p (under one_card/two_card)	310P single card
four_card	A3 4-card
two_card	A3 2-card
Others (e.g. one_card)	A2 single card

Only test paths under tests/e2e/pull_request/ are supported. Tests in tests/e2e/nightly/, tests/e2e/models/, or tests/e2e/doctests/ are not accepted by /e2e. Use /nightly for nightly tests.

Tests are run against both the community vLLM version and the latest release.

/nightly

Trigger specific nightly test cases on A2 and A3. Supports only PR comments. Test case names correspond to the test_config.name entries defined in schedule_nightly_test_a2.yaml and schedule_nightly_test_a3.yaml.

Usage:

Syntax	Scope
/nightly <test_cases>	Runs on main branch
/nightly <test_cases> --branch <branch>	Runs on the specified branch

Use --branch <name> to specify a target branch. Without --branch, all arguments are treated as test cases (separated by commas or spaces) and the branch defaults to main.

Note: When commenting on a PR, the tests run on the PR branch automatically in the triggered workflow; the --branch flag is primarily used in issue comments.

Common test case names (A2):

test_custom_op, test_custom_op_multi_card, qwen3-vl-32b-instruct-w8a8, qwen3-32b-int8, MiniMax-M2.5-w8a8-QuaRot-A2, Qwen3.5-27B-w8a8-A2, Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-w4a8-mtp, accuracy-group

Common test case names (A3):

multi-node-deepseek-v3.2-W8A8-EP, mtpx-deepseek-r1-0528-w8a8, deepseek-r1-0528-w8a8, kimi-k2-thinking, qwen3-vl-235b-a22b-instruct-w8a8, custom-multi-ops, …

Examples:

# Run a single test case on main branch
/nightly qwen3-vl-32b-instruct-w8a8

# Run on a specific release branch
/nightly qwen3-vl-32b-instruct-w8a8 --branch releases/v0.23.0

# Run all tests on a specific branch
/nightly all --branch my-feature-branch

# Run multiple test cases (comma-separated)
/nightly test_custom_op,multi-node-deepseek-v3.2-W8A8-EP

# Run multiple test cases (space-separated, also works)
/nightly test_custom_op accuracy-group

# Run accuracy group tests (branch defaults to main)
/nightly accuracy-group

This triggers workflow_dispatch on both schedule_nightly_test_a2.yaml and schedule_nightly_test_a3.yaml.

/cherry-pick

Cherry-pick a PR’s commits onto a specified target branch and create a new PR. This is useful for backporting fixes to release branches.

Usage:

Syntax	Description
/cherry-pick <target_branch>	Cherry-pick onto the specified branch

Examples:

# Cherry-pick to a release branch
/cherry-pick releases/v0.23.0

# Cherry-pick to main
/cherry-pick main

A new PR will be created with the title format [Cherry-pick] <original_title> (from #<PR_NUMBER>) and a body linking back to the original PR.

If the cherry-pick encounters merge conflicts, the command will report the failure and the cherry-pick must be done manually.

/revert

Revert a merged PR by creating a new PR that reverses its changes. The revert targets the same base branch the original PR was merged into.

Usage:

Syntax	Description
/revert	Revert this PR (no arguments needed)

Example:

/revert

A new PR will be created with the title format [Revert] Revert "original_title" (#PR_NUMBER) and a body linking back to the original PR and its merge commit.

Only merged PRs can be reverted. If the revert encounters merge conflicts (e.g., because the base branch has diverged significantly), the command will report the failure and the revert must be done manually.

/rerun

Re-run all failed workflow runs on the current PR commit. Useful when CI jobs failed due to infrastructure issues.

Examples:

# Re-run all failed CI workflows on this PR
/rerun

Behavior

1. When you comment a slash command, a 👀 reaction is added to your comment to indicate it has been received

2. The corresponding CI workflow is triggered asynchronously

3. Upon completion, a 🎉 reaction and a summary comment are added
