…durations

Optional stats fields were formatted with :.2f, which crashes when they are None. Print n/a (and skip the totals block when total_duration is missing) instead.

Description

Updates GenerationLog.print_summary:

  • When total_duration is None, print "No stats available" instead of the totals block. Still print # Detailed stats and any activated rails
  • When llm_calls_duration is missing, still print the LLM-calls line if there are calls, with n/a for duration
  • When activated_rail.duration is missing, print [n/a] instead of crashing. Empty action names and empty per-call duration lists also print n/a

Adds tests to tests/test_generation_options.py to verify None-type guarding.

Verification

Ran the script, print_summary.py, that @Pouyanpi provided in the linked issue. The following output verifies that there are no TypeErrors from formatting None as a float.

Python:        3.13.2
nemoguardrails: 0.18.0

Greptile Summary

This PR makes GenerationLog summary rendering tolerate missing duration statistics and adds regression coverage for optional values.

  • Prints a fallback when total duration is unavailable.
  • Uses n/a for missing aggregate, rail, action, and per-call timing details.
  • Adds tests for missing total, LLM-call, and activated-rail durations.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The zero-total division path should be fixed before merging because a valid partial GenerationStats value can still make print_summary crash.

The updated outer condition distinguishes only None from numeric totals, while four percentage calculations divide by a total that may validly be 0.0.

Files Needing Attention: nemoguardrails/rails/llm/options.py

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
nemoguardrails/rails/llm/options.py Adds None-safe summary formatting, but removing the previous truthiness guards exposes a division-by-zero path when total_duration is 0.0.
tests/test_generation_options.py Adds focused coverage for missing optional statistics, though the newly exposed zero-total case is not covered.

**Zero total breaks percentages**

When `total_duration` is `0.0` and any per-rail duration is nonzero, the new non-`None` branch divides by zero while calculating percentages, causing `print_summary()` to raise `ZeroDivisionError` instead of rendering the available statistics.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

GenerationLog.print_summary now handles missing duration statistics without errors. It prints No stats available or n/a where values are unavailable. Tests cover missing total, LLM-call, and activated-rail durations.

Changes

Generation summary handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Summary fallbacks and validation
nemoguardrails/rails/llm/options.py, tests/test_generation_options.py
GenerationLog.print_summary handles missing total, LLM-call, and activated-rail durations. Tests verify n/a output and preserved aggregate statistics.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b6644

When an individual LLM call has no duration, the summary currently displays 0s instead of n/a, which can mislead users about timing statistics. The change is otherwise mergeable, with a bounded follow-up needed to preserve the distinction between missing and zero duration.

Explanation

PASS: This is a focused defensive bug fix in GenerationLog.print_summary, not a major feature, breaking change, or significant refactoring. The PR description documents verification with the linked issue script and adds tests for missing total, LLM-call, and activated-rail durations. The actual diff confirms those targeted tests in tests/test_generation_options.py; no performance-sensitive change is described or introduced.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Render absent per-call duration as n/a.

Line 371 converts None to 0s. This reports an unavailable duration as a measured zero duration. Use an explicit is None check and add a regression case with an LLMCallInfo that has no duration.

Proposed fix
