Summary of Changes

Hello @kylesayrs, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request aims to enhance the debugging experience by updating an error message to be more accurate. It removes an outdated assumption that runtime errors are primarily due to tracing issues, reflecting recent improvements in the autowrapper logic. This ensures that developers are not misled by error messages and can more quickly identify the true root cause of issues.

Highlights

• Error Message Refinement: Modified the RuntimeError message in src/llmcompressor/pipelines/sequential/helpers.py to remove the specific blame on tracing for runtime exceptions. This change reflects that the new autowrapper logic has made tracing issues much less likely to be the cause of such errors, leading to more accurate and helpful diagnostics.

Code Review

This pull request removes a potentially misleading part of a runtime error message to improve the debugging experience. The change is straightforward and beneficial. I've added one suggestion to further clean up the error message formatting by removing a now-redundant newline character.
