Doctr Changelog

1.8.0 (2019-02-01)

Major Changes

  • Doctr now supports repos hosted on travis-ci.com (in addition to .org). (#310)

    Some notes about travis-ci.com support:

    • travis-ci.org and travis-ci.com have different public keys for the same repo, so it is necessary for doctr configure to know which is being used. If you want to move from travis-ci.org to travis-ci.com, you will need to reconfigure.

    • If only one of travis-ci.org or travis-ci.com is enabled, doctr configure will automatically configure the repo for that one. If both are enabled, it will ask which one to configure for. You can also use the --travis-tld command line flag to doctr configure to specify which one to use.

    • Once configured, there is no difference in the .travis.yml file.

    • If for whatever reason you want to run doctr on both, you can configure each separately, renaming the encrypted files that they generate. Add both secure environment variables to .travis.yml, and do something like

      if [[ $TRAVIS_BUILD_WEB_URL == *"travis-ci.com"* ]]; then
          doctr deploy --built-docs <built-docs> . --key-path github_deploy_key-com.enc;
      else
          doctr deploy --built-docs <built-docs> . --key-path github_deploy_key-org.enc;
      fi
      
  • New -no-authenticate flag to doctr configure. This disables authentication with GitHub. If GitHub authentication is required (i.e., the repository is private), then it will fail. This flag implies -no-upload-key, which now no longer disables authentication. (#310)

  • Doctr does not attempt to push on Travis builds of forks. Note, this requires using the GitHub API to check if the repo is a fork, which often fails. If it does, the build will error anyway (which can be ignored). You can use Travis conditions if you need a build to not fail on a fork. (#332)

  • Doctr is now better tested on private repositories. Private repositories now work with both --token and a deploy key (a deploy key the default and is recommended). Note that configuring Travis for a private repository will generate a temporary personal access token on GitHub, and immediately delete it. This is necessary to authenticate with Travis. You will receive an email from GitHub about it. (#337)

Minor Changes

  • Fix the --branch-whitelist flag with no arguments. (#330, #334)
  • Print the doctr version at the beginning of deploy. (#333)
  • Fix doctr deploy --built-docs file when the deploy directory doesn’t exist. (#332)
  • Improved error message when doctr is not configured properly. (#338)

1.7.4 (2018-08-19)

Major Changes

  • Run a single git add and git rm command for all the files. This drastically improves the performance of doctr when there are many files that are synced. (#325)
  • Improve the error messaging in doctr configure when the 2FA code expires, and when the GitHub API rate limit is hit. The GitHub API rate limit is shared across all OAuth applications, and is often hit after clicking the “sync account” button on travis-ci.org, especially if you have access to a large number of repos. If this happens, you must wait an hour and run doctr configure again. (#320)

Minor Changes

  • Improve error messages when the deploy key isn’t found. (#306)
  • Doctr doesn’t commit when the most recent commit on the main repo was by doctr. This avoids infinite loops if you accidentally run doctr from the master branch of a .github.io instead of a separate branch. See the Using doctr with *.github.io pages recipe. (#318)

1.7.3 (2018-04-16)

Minor Changes

  • Use the cryptography module to generate the SSH deploy key instead of ssh-keygen. This makes it possible to run doctr configure on Windows. (#303)

1.7.2 (2018-02-06)

Major Changes

  • Update Travis API call to Travis API v3 (doctr configure now works again). (#298)
  • Add --exclude flag to doctr deploy to chose files and directories from --built-docs that should be excluded from being deployed. (#296)

Minor Changes

  • Fix --built-docs .. (#294)

1.7.1 (2018-01-30)

Major Changes

  • Cleanup the doctr configure code. Output is now color-coded according to its meaning:

    • red: warnings and errors
    • green: welcome messages (used sparingly)
    • blue: default values
    • bold magenta: action items
    • bold gray: things that should be replaced when copy-pasting

    The doctr configure text has also been improved. (#289)

Minor Changes

  • Retry on invalid username and password in doctr configure. (#289)
  • Print when the 2FA code fails in doctr configure. (#289)
  • Fix the --branch-whitelist flag to doctr deploy. (#291)

1.7.0 (2017-11-21)

Major Changes

  • Add support for multiple deploy repos. Thanks @ylemkimon. Note, as a result of this, the default environment variable name on Travis is now DOCTR_DEPLOY_ENCRYPTION_KEY_ORG_REPO where ORG and REPO are the GitHub organization and repo, capitalized with special characters replaced with underscores. The default encryption key file is now doctr_deploy_key_org_repo.enc, where org and repo are the organization and repo names with special characters replaced with underscores. The old key and file names are still supported for backwards compatibility, and a custom key file name can still be used with the --key-path flag. (#276 and #280)
  • Add support for deploying to GitHub wikis. Thanks @ylemkimon. The wiki for a GitHub repository is org/repo.wiki. The deploy key for a wiki is the same as for the repository itself, so if you have already run doctr configure for a given repository you do not need to run it again for its wiki. See the recipes page for more information. (#276 and #280)
  • Add support for deploying from tag builds. Tag builds are builds that Travis CI runs on tags pushed up to the repository. See the recipes page for more information. (#225)

Minor Changes

  • Add a global table of contents to the docs sidebar. (#284)
  • Note in the docs that doctr will make the gh-pages branch for you if it doesn’t exist. Thanks @CJ-Wright. (#235)
  • Print a more helpful error message when the repository check in doctr configure fails. Thanks @ylemkimon. (#279)

1.6.3 (2017-11-11)

Minor Changes

  • Fix an error that occured when gh-pages did not exist and doctr did not have the permissions to create it (e.g., on a pull request build). (#262)
  • Make usernames links in the changelog. (#270)

1.6.2 (2017-10-20)

Minor Changes

  • Fix some typos in the doctr configure output. Thanks @bnaul and @ocefpaf. (#261 and #260)
  • Fix the retry logic for pushing. (#265)
  • Better messaging when doctr fails because of an error from a command. (#263)
  • Fix an error when --command makes changes to a file that isn’t synced, and no synced files are actually changed. Note, currently, if --command adds or changes any files that aren’t the new ones that are synced, they will not be committed unless they are manually added to the index. This should be improved in a future version (see #267). (#266)

1.6.1 (2017-09-27)

Minor Changes

  • Revert the change to --command from 1.6.0 that makes it run on the original branch. If you want to run a command on the original branch, just run it before running doctr. --command now runs on the deploy branch, as it did before. This does not revert the other change to --command from 1.6.0 (running with shell=True). (#259)

1.6.0 (2017-09-26)

Major Changes

  • Fix pushing to .github.io repos (thanks @danielballan). (#190)
  • Run --command on the original branch, not the deploy branch. (#192)
  • Run --command with shell=True. (#193)
  • Fix doctr configure for 2-factor authentication from SMS (thanks @techgaun). (#203)
  • Copy --built-docs to a temporary directory before syncing. Fixes syncing of committed files. (#215)
  • Only set the git username and password on Travis if they aren’t set already. (#216)
  • Guess the repo automatically in doctr configure. (#217)
  • Use git stash instead of git reset --hard on Travis. Fixes syncing tracked files with changes. (#219)
  • Automatically retry on failure in Travis. Fixes race conditions from pushing from concurrent builds. (#222)
  • Use the “ours” merge strategy on merge. This should avoid issues when there are merge conflicts on gh-pages from other non-doctr commits. (#232)
  • Allow --built-docs to be a file. (#252)

Minor Changes

  • Improve instructions (thanks @choldgraf). (#186)
  • Skip GitHub tests if no API token is present (#187)
  • Invalid input won’t kill doctr configure but will instead prompt again for valid input. Prevents users from having to go through the whole login rigamarole again. (#181, #188)
  • Make it clearer in the docs that doctr isn’t just for Sphinx. (#196)
  • Print a red error message when doctr fails. (#239)
  • Fix some rendering in the docs (thanks @CJ-Wright). (#249)
  • Fix out of order command output (except when doctr uses a token). Also, print doctr commands in blue. (#250)

  • The --gh-pages-docs flag of doctr deploy has been deprecated. Specify the deploy directory like doctr deploy . or doctr deploy docs. There is also no longer a default deploy directory. (#128)
  • setup_GitHub_push now takes a branch_whitelist parameter instead of of a require_master
  • .travis.yml can be used to store some of doctr configuration in addition to the command line flags. Write doctr configuration under the doctr key. (#137)
  • All boolean command line flags now have a counterpart that can overwrite the config values set in .travis.yml
  • doctr can now deploy to organization accounts (github.io) (#25)
  • Added --deploy-branch-name flag to specify which branch docs will be deployed to

  • Fix Travis API endpoint when checking if a repo exists. (#143)
  • Add warnings about needing set -e in .travis.yml. (#146)
  • Explicitly pull from doctr_remote on Travis. (#147)
  • Don’t attempt to push gh-pages to the remote when pushing is disallowed (e.g., on a pull request). (#150)
  • doctr configure now deletes the public key automatically. (#151)

1.4.0 (2016-11-11)

Major Changes

  • Remove the --tmp-dir flag from the command line (doctr now always deploys using a log file). (#92)
  • Python API: Change commit_docs to actually commit the docs (previously, it was done in push_docs). (#92)
