Closes #1287.

repr() on any of the six client classes returned the default <qdrant_client.qdrant_client.QdrantClient object at 0x10c4a8eb0>. That shows up in tracebacks, in notebooks, and in structured logging libraries that render objects with repr() by default — and none of those places tell you which cluster the client was pointed at.

After

>>> QdrantClient("localhost", port=6333, prefer_grpc=True)
<QdrantClient mode=remote host='localhost:6333' prefer_grpc=True>
>>> QdrantClient(":memory:")
<QdrantClient mode=local location=':memory:'>
>>> QdrantClient(path="./storage")
<QdrantClient mode=local location='./storage'>
>>> QdrantRemote(url="https://api.qdrant.example:443")
<QdrantRemote scheme=https host='api.qdrant.example:443' prefer_grpc=False>
>>> QdrantLocal(":memory:")
<QdrantLocal location=':memory:'>

Async classes render the same way with their own class name, since the repr uses type(self).__name__.

api_key is deliberately not in there. Reprs end up in logs and exception reports, which is exactly where a key should not be. There's a test that constructs a client with an api_key and asserts the value appears in neither the facade's repr nor the inner client's.

One refactor worth flagging

QdrantRemote.__init__ already built f"{self._host}:{self._port}" if self._port is not None else self._host inline to make the base URL. The repr needs the identical string, so rather than write it twice I pulled it into a small _address property and pointed both at it. Behaviour is unchanged — same expression, same call site — but the repr and the base URL can't drift apart later.

Generated files

__repr__ isn't on AsyncQdrantBase, so the AST transformer leaves it sync in the async mirrors, which is what we want — Python calls repr() synchronously. No generator changes were needed. I ran the full generator anyway and confirmed its output matches what's committed here; the only other diffs were pre-existing artifacts of my local ruff version (for (k, v) in vs for k, v in) and autoflake not being installed, so I applied the __repr__ blocks to the generated files by hand rather than committing that noise.

Tests

tests/test_repr.py — 11 cases covering local and remote, sync and async, all six classes, plus the api_key leak check. No server needed.

Note: tests/test_local_persistence.py has 4 failures on my machine, but they reproduce on a clean master checkout too (a Windows PermissionError on the storage teardown), so they're unrelated to this change.


Replaces #1330, which was branched from master and showed as conflicting against the dev base this repo targets. Same change, clean history off dev.

repr() on any of the client classes returned the default
<qdrant_client.qdrant_client.QdrantClient object at 0x...>, which is
useless in tracebacks, notebooks and structured logs that render objects
with repr() by default.

QdrantRemote/AsyncQdrantRemote report scheme, host:port and prefer_grpc;
QdrantLocal/AsyncQdrantLocal report the location; the two facades report
the mode plus the inner client's connection details. api_key is left out
on purpose, since reprs reach logs.

The host:port formatting QdrantRemote.__init__ already did inline is now
a small _address property, so the repr and the base URL cannot drift.

Closes qdrant#1287

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added __repr__ methods to synchronous and asynchronous facade, remote, and local client classes. Representations show initialization state, storage location, remote scheme and address, and gRPC preference. Remote REST URL construction now uses a shared _address property. Tests cover client modes, persistent paths, remote settings, and API-key redaction.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c615b

The PR improves client representations, but the facade can still make HTTP and HTTPS endpoints look identical, while the new tests perform network requests instead of staying fully isolated. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on endpoint clarity and test isolation.

Include the URL scheme in remote client representations.

The synchronous and asynchronous facades currently render the same host and port identically for HTTP and HTTPS connections. Include the remote scheme in both representations and update the corresponding HTTPS expectation so the output exposes this meaningful connection setting.

Disable compatibility checks for representation-only tests.

These six remote clients start background version-check requests with the default check_compatibility=True. Pass check_compatibility=False to prevent requests to localhost and api.qdrant.example.

_client is typed QdrantBase, which has no _address or _prefer_grpc, so
mypy failed with attr-defined on both the sync and async clients. Branch
on QdrantRemote/AsyncQdrantRemote and fall back to naming the client
class for any other implementation.
