In templates/zerver/api/create-user.md, we have a sample fixture
for when a client attempts to create a user with the same email
as an existing user. This commit adds a test for that fixture.
Note that this error payload is specific to client.create_user
and this error payload isn't generated anywhere else.
This commit modifies the Markdown extension in bugdown/api_code_examples.py
to support rendering code examples in multiple languages by specifying
the language like so:
{generate_code_example(python)|doc.md|example}
This makes us one step closer towards adding support for testable
JavaScript code examples.
We now have a separate page for common error payloads, for example,
the payload for when the client's API key is invalid. All error
payloads that are presented on this page will be tested similarly
to our other non-error sample fixtures.
To generate a code exammple,
{generate_code_example|<api_doc_md>|example} sounds better and
more intuitive than,
{generate_code_example|<api_doc_md>|method}
This commit uses the Markdown extension defined in
zerver/lib/bugdown/api_generate_examples to generate the
example fixture and code example, so that both are tested
in zerver/lib/api_test_helpers.
It makes sense to make our Python and JS API examples more visible
than our curl examples, since Python is what most people will tend
to use.
Also, from a design perspective, an API documentation page that
starts off with a shiny Python example with syntax highlighting
looked much better than having a bland curl example be the first
thing readers see.
