This change fixes bugs in the manpage generator that existed since it
was first added.
It exposes CLI `ARGUMENTS` value to manpage templates.
Before this change, the code contained a typo, causing the `for`-loop
iterate over individual characters of the `'ARGUMENTS'` string rather
than iterating over a tuple. A missing comma was at fault.
The updated code gets rid of the `for`-loop and conditionals since it
seems to have been a premature complexity increase and no other things
than `'ARGUMENTS'` were ever added into the broken iterable.
The functional change is that `arguments` is now always present in the
Jinja2 context, unlike being missing sometimes because of the previous
design (not that it was ever present, because of the bug! sigh...)
The Jinja2 templates perform an `{% if arguments %}` check, letting
the template engine silently ignore the missing variable. The clause
was always falsy, meaning that the arguments section was not included
in the manpages for at least the last 6 years. With this fix, it will
be.
This patch also deduplicates calling `opt_doc_list` @ generate_man.
It was called late in the execution, more times than necessary. This
patch makes sure it happens once by putting it at the top of the scope.
It fixes rendering library and inventory in manpages.
The corresponding Jinja2 templates have blocks wrapped with
conditionals like `{% if inventory %}` and `{% if library %}` but said
variables were never injected into the context, nor were they even
deduced on the Python side of the generator. This means that the
conditional clauses were always falsy, never showing the portions of
the manpages.
The Python script has hints for how the `inventory` variable was to be
calculated, which is confirmed through the Git paleontology efforts.
The block of code that references to the `inventory` bit was
incorrectly checking a variable with a list of nested objects for the
presence of a string which was never going to work.
This patch fixes this check by verifying the CLI flag against the
correct variable containing a list of options and exposes it to the
Jinja2 templates.
It also exposes the `library` variable in a similar way.
The block displaying other binaries in Sphinx CLI docs has been
synchronized with the manpage template.
Previously, the current binary was displayed also. This patch gets rid
of the unwanted trailing comma there too.
Finally, the CLI executables list in the manpage template now reuses
the same variable as the RST template that doesn't need any
post-processing in Jinja2.
Before, it was already used in the RST template so this patch aligns
both templates to use the same logic as they got out-of-sync over time.
PR #80450.
This is useful for testing the effects on docs of changing what
collections are in a version of ansible. ansible-build-data can be
cloned locally, modified, and then build-ansible.py docs-build can be
told to use the local checkout instead of the canonical one on github.
* Require antsibull 0.34.0.
* Remove Makefile comment about the devel docs building only the core
(formerly base) docs; the behavior was updated in ccbfdec334
Currently 'make coredocs' builds core-only docs; 'make webdocs' builds the full docs even on the devel
branch

* excludes scenario guides from core docs, splits porting guides and roadmaps, symlinks indices to create index.html pages, and adds .gitignore entries for conf.py and the toplevel index.rst files generated by the docs build
This solution builds three types of docs:
* ansible-2.10 and earlier: all the docs. Handle this via `make webdocs
ANSIBLE_VERSION=2.10`
* ansible-3 and later: a subset of the docs for the ansible package.
Handle this via `make webdocs ANSIBLE_VERSION=3` (change the
ANSIBLE_VERSION to match the version being built for.
* ansible-core: a subset of the docs for the ansible-core package.
Handle this via `make coredocs`.
* `make webdocs` now always builds all the collection docs
* Use `make coredocs` to limit it to core plugins only
* The user specifies the desired version. If no ANSIBLE_VERSION is specified, build plugins for the latest release of ansible

* Allow restricting config values to enumerated list
* dont document internal entries
* also ignore private defs for ansible-config
* remove invalid value from tests
* added porting entry
* The version comparison for determining what ansible package to build
docs against was comparing the version number for ansible-base but it
needed to check the version number for ansible instead
* add a comment about some bad logic than needs to be fixed after 2.10.0
Change:
- Fix a bug where rc/beta versions throw off the "is this an
ansible-base release"? check.
Test Plan:
- Used it for 2.10.0rc4

* Build documentation for Ansible-2.10 (formerly known as ACD).
Builds plugin docs from collections whose source is on galaxy
The new command downloads collections from galaxy, then finds the
plugins inside of them to get the documentation for those plugins.
* Update the python syntax checks
* docs builds can now require python 3.6+.
* Move plugin formatter code out to an external tool, antsibull-docs.
Collection owners want to be able to extract docs for their own
websites as well.
* The jinja2 filters, tests, and other support code have moved to antsibull
* Remove document_plugins as that has now been integrated into antsibull-docs
* Cleanup and bugfix to other build script code:
* The Commands class needed to have its metaclass set for abstractmethod
to work correctly
* Fix lint issues in some command plugins
* Add the docs/docsite/rst/collections to .gitignore as
everything in that directory will be generated so we don't want any of
it saved in the git repository
* gitignore the build dir and remove edit docs link on module pages
* Add docs/rst/collections as a directory to remove on make clean
* Split the collections docs from the main docs
* remove version and edit on github
* remove version banner for just collections
* clarify examples need collection keyword defined
* Remove references to plugin documentation locations that no longer exist.
* Perhaps the pages in plugins/*.rst should be deprecated
altogether and their content moved?
* If not, perhaps we want to rephrase and link into the collection
documentation?
* Or perhaps we want to link to the plugins which are present in
collections/ansible/builtin?
* Remove PYTHONPATH from the build-ansible calls
One of the design goals of the build-ansible.py script was for it to
automatically set its library path to include the checkout of ansible
and the library of code to implement itself. Because it automatically
includes the checkout of ansible, we don't need to set PYTHONPATH in
the Makefile any longer.
* Create a command to only build ansible-base plugin docs
* When building docs for devel, only build the ansible-base docs for
now. This is because antsibull needs support for building a "devel
tree" of docs. This can be changed once that is implemented
* When building docs for the sanity tests, only build the ansible-base
plugin docs for now. Those are the docs which are in this repo so
that seems appropriate for now.
* Tag return value docs if they are a dict (and not str/None).
* Try to parse return docs as YAML.
* Properly dump return values in ansible-doc.
* Adjust plugin formatter.
* Add changelog fragment.
* Don't add 'default' for return values.
* Fix plugin_formatter.
* Only try to parse return docs if they are still a string.
* Add tests.
* Warn if RETURN cannot be parsed.
* Adjust tests. Also test for warning.
* if -> elif (otherwise EXAMPLE will be parsed too).
* Always parse return documentation, and fail if it is invalid YAML.
* Polishing.
* Mostly re-enable ansible-doc tests.
Listing from the local collection seems to be somewhat broken. I assume this
is why the test was disabled.
* Lint and make tests work with Python 2.
* Keep FQCNs in plugins (not modules), i.e. restore previous state.
Change:
- Generalize the announce script changes from 4dd0f4127
Test Plan:
Harcoded 'hashes' to [] and then:
- Ran with --version 2.9.9 --version 2.10.0.dev1
- Ran with --version 2.9.9
- Ran with --version 2.10.1

Change:
- s/Ansible/ansible-base/
- Update URLs
Test Plan:
- Hope for the best. (No real way to test this until release day because
there are no files on releases.a.c for it to hash right now. A staging
releng environment would fix this.)

Some APIs do not take a pathlib. They need to have a string
representation of a path. Transform the default path to a str
so those APIs will work with the default value.

* Add a script to update the intersphinx inventory files
* We're about to add intersphinx inventories for separate ansible docs
so we need an easy way to update them. Also, we should be updating
these cache files for other upstreams occassionally as well. With a
script, we can add updating them to a release process.
* Now that we don't know what the version of the cache is, change the
filenames to not contain versions.
* Update the intersphinx cache files with the latest upstream versions
Results of running:
hacking/build-ansible.py update-intersphinx-cache -o docs/docsite -c docs/docsite/rst/conf.py
* Add a comment to the configuration file which says how to structure the intersphinx mapping and why.
* Update docs/docsite/rst/conf.py

* removed uneeded file, fixed links and added preview banner
* Moved banner for sanity test
* Fix dump_keywords to require attribute docs
* Change the documentation commands to make definition files positional
Since the definition files are mandatory, make them positional
parameters instead of options.
We have some common code used by several docs scripts. Migrate that
into the build-only shared code repository.
* Move lib/ansible/utils/_build_helpers.py to the directory for common
build code
* Migrate docs/bin/dump_config.py to a build-ansible subcommand
* Migrate dump_keywords to the build-ansible framework
* Make the script more maintainable by using functions and good
variable names
* Port to Python3 idioms
* Fix bug so that private attributes will be undocumented
* Move generate_man to a build-ansible subcommand
* Port plugin_formatter to a build-ansible subcommand
* Rework command_plugins so that docs scripts can target Python-3.4+ and
releng-only subcommands can use more recent versions of Python.
The architecture is now that command_plugins/* need to be importable
on Python-3.4. The init_parsers() method needs to run on Python-3.4.
But the main() method can utilize features of more recent Python as
long as it fits within those parameters.
* Update docs build requirements
Port the plugin_formatter to build-ansible framework
ansible-test only passes files which have the .py suffix for sanity
tests on python files. This change will allow sanity tests to run on
the Python files in hacking/
* Rename test-module to test-module.py
* Symlink test-module for backwards compat since end users may be using
test-module
* Fix test-module sanity errors that are now triggered
* Rename ansible_profile to ansible-profile.py
* Rename build-ansible
* Implement a framework for having common code for release scripts
* Release scripts will go through hacking/build-ansible. build-ansible is
a pluggable script which will set a directory that has common code for
non-enduser scripts. It will then invoke the plugin which implements
that subcommand. Uses straight.plugin for loading each sub-command.
* We're going to add tools which are needed to test ansible (the changelog
generation, for instance) so we need to include the pieces relevant to
that in the tarball.
* Add straight.plugin to the sanity test requirements for the same
reason
* Skip compile test just for build-ansible plugins which won't be run as
part of sanity tests.
