Configure Langfuse CI/CD integration with GitHub Actions and automated testing. Use when setting up automated testing, configuring CI pipelines, or integrating Langfuse tests into your build process. Trigger with phrases like "langfuse CI", "langfuse GitHub Actions", "langfuse automated tests", "CI langfuse", "langfuse pipeline".
Integrate Langfuse into CI/CD pipelines: trace validation tests, prompt regression testing, experiment-driven quality gates, automated prompt deployment from version control, and score monitoring.

checkRegression();| Practice | Why |
|---|---|
Use temperature: 0 in CI tests | Deterministic outputs, fewer false failures |
| Separate CI API keys | Isolate test traces from production |
| Run experiments on dataset changes | Catch regressions before deploy |
| Assert on ranges, not exact strings | LLM output varies even at temp 0 |
Flush/shutdown in afterAll | Ensure all traces reach Langfuse |
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Traces not in dashboard | No flush in CI | Add sdk.shutdown() or afterAll flush |
| Flaky quality tests | Non-deterministic LLM | Use temperature: 0, assert on ranges |
| Prompt not found | Not yet deployed | Deploy prompts before running tests |
| Missing secrets in CI | Not configured | Add to GitHub Settings > Secrets > Actions |
The pipeline reports the test suite result, experiment/run identifier, and aggregate quality score. A regression exits non-zero so the pull request is blocked; a pass leaves a traceable Langfuse run linked to the commit SHA.
Run the focused quality suite locally before opening a pull request:
LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY=pk-lf-... LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY=sk-lf-... \
npx vitest run tests/ai/ --reporter=verboseFor an intentionally changed prompt, first update the expected dataset result, then run the experiment gate and inspect the resulting run in Langfuse before merging.
