Our new curl example generation logic was broken, in that it hardcoded
localhost:9991 (without an HTTP method or anything) as the API URL.
It requires a bit of plumbing to make this possible.
Now we can also include extra keyword arguments to specify
modifications in how the example code should be generated
in the generate_code_example template tag.
E.g. generate_code_example(curl, exclude=["param1", "param2"])
This commit extends api_code_examples.py to support automatically
generating cURL examples from the OpenAPI documentation. This way
work won't have to be repeated and we can also drastically reduce
the chance of introducing faulty cURL examples (via. an automated
test which can now be easily created).
This is a major upgrade, and requires some significant compatibility
work:
* Migrating the pattern-removal logic to use the Registry feature.
* Handling the removal of positional arguments in markdown extensions.
* Handling the removal of safe mode.
The Zulip API is to be used on both development and production
servers, and really we just need to talk about zuliprc files.
There's a similar issue for the JS docs, but we need to fix the
copy/paste issues with those as well.
The Markdown extension that lives inside
zerver/lib/bugdown/api_code_example.py previously used ujson.
ujson's `dumps` function doesn't accept a `separators` argument,
which means we have no control over how the JSON is pretty-printed.
This resulted in JSON fixtures with no spaces after the colon, which
looks unnecessarily convoluted.
So now, we use the built-in `json` module to get around this.
For further reading, this issue
<https://github.com/esnme/ultrajson/issues/82> opened on ujson's
repo explains why they are reluctant to support such formatting
due to performance considerations.
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.
This commit adds support for passing in an argument to the macro
"call" to explicitly specify a fixture to render, like so:
{generate_code_example|doc_name|fixture(stream_message_with_args)}
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}
Some of our code examples can only be run with administrator
credentials (such as create-user). Thus, the Markdown extension
for generating code examples should have an option to include
the lines that recommend using an admin zuliprc instead of a
non-admin one.
Now that the Markdown extension defined in
zerver/lib/bugdown/api_generate_examples depended on code in the
tools/lib/* directory, it caused the production tests to fail since
the tools/ directory wouldn't exist in a production environment.
This commit adds a Markdown extension that allows the following
syntax,
{generate_code_example|<md_file_name>|<fixture or method>}
to generate code examples and fixtures found in tools/lib/api_tests.py
and templates/zerver/api/fixtures.json, respectively.
