core[patch]: Deduplicate of callback handlers in merge_configs (#22478)
This PR adds deduplication of callback handlers in merge_configs.
Fix for this issue:
https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/22227
The issue appears when the code is:
1) running python >=3.11
2) invokes a runnable from within a runnable
3) binds the callbacks to the child runnable from the parent runnable
using with_config
In this case, the same callbacks end up appearing twice: (1) the first
time from with_config, (2) the second time with langchain automatically
propagating them on behalf of the user.
Prior to this PR this will emit duplicate events:
```python
@tool
async def get_items(question: str, callbacks: Callbacks): # <--- Accept callbacks
"""Ask question"""
template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
[
(
"human",
"'{question}"
)
]
)
chain = template | chat_model.with_config(
{
"callbacks": callbacks, # <-- Propagate callbacks
}
)
return await chain.ainvoke({"question": question})
```
Prior to this PR this will work work correctly (no duplicate events):
```python
@tool
async def get_items(question: str, callbacks: Callbacks): # <--- Accept callbacks
"""Ask question"""
template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
[
(
"human",
"'{question}"
)
]
)
chain = template | chat_model
return await chain.ainvoke({"question": question}, {"callbacks": callbacks})
```
This will also work (as long as the user is using python >= 3.11) -- as
langchain will automatically propagate callbacks
```python
@tool
async def get_items(question: str,):
"""Ask question"""
template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
[
(
"human",
"'{question}"
)
]
)
chain = template | chat_model
return await chain.ainvoke({"question": question})
```
