If DELETE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is set to True, all files and directories are
deleted from the output directory. There are, however, several reasons
one might want to retain certain files/directories and avoid their
deletion from the output directory. One such use case is version control
system data: a versioned output directory can facilitate deployment via
Heroku and/or allow the user to easily revert to a prior version of the
site without having to rely on regeneration via Pelican.
This change introduces the OUTPUT_RETENTION setting, a tuple of
filenames that will be preserved when the clean_output_dir function in
pelican.utils is run. Setting OUTPUT_RETENTION = (".hg", ".git") would,
for example, prevent the relevant VCS data from being deleted when the
output directory is cleaned.
I'd added them earlier to test that a configuration edit could
preserve the original output locations. However, it is likely that
you have quite a number of static files, and we shouldn't recommend
listing explicit paths for all of them. With this configuration
change, the pictures will be copied into the output directory using
their original relative path (e.g. `pictures/Fat_Cat.jpg` without the
`static`). Any |filename|-style links will be updated automatically.
If you *want* the pictures to end up in a `static` directory, it's
easier to just organize your source that way.
In situations where I've cleared ARTICLE_DIR, I've done so to ensure
that there are no directories that will override the DEFAULT_CATEGORY
due to USE_FOLDER_AS_CATEGORY.
We'll get better failure messages if we use an assertion method that
understands the comparison we're trying to make. If you make the
comparison by hand and assertTrue(), you don't get much constructive
feedback ;).
Support the forms listed by the W3C [1]. I also removed the
'%Y-%d-%m' form, which can be confused with the '%Y-%m-%d' ISO form.
The new ISO forms can use 'Z' to designate UTC or '[+-]HHMM' to
specify offsets from UTC. Other time zone designators are not
supported.
The '%z' directive has only been supported since Python 3.2 [2], so if
you're running Pelican on Python 2.7, you're stuck with 'Z' for UTC.
Conveniently, we get ValueErrors for both invalid directives and
data/format missmatches, so we don't need special handling for the 2.7
case inside get_date().

If a setting exists in DEFAULT_CONFIG, assume it will be there
(instead of checking and/or providing a local default). The earlier
code was split between the two idioms, which was confusing.
This avoids harcoding test-specific overrides, and makes it easy to
setup a settings dictionary based on DEFAULT_CONFIG for testing.
Because you can trust Pelican to use settings based on DEFAULT_CONFIG,
you are free to go about using:
settings[my_key]
instead of:
settings.get(my_key, some_fallback)
or:
if my_key in settings:
...
if you know that `my_key` is in DEFAULT_CONFIG.
This dictionary is accessed by plugins (like `summary`) which add new
settings, so it should be public (i.e. no prefixed underscore).
The changed name length would have led to a re-indenting of the
default contents anyway, so I shifted them all to four spaces.
AdReaderTest.test_article_with_asc_extension() has had duplicate
checks on the expected metadata since it was created by 49f481e3 (Add
asciidoc reader support, 2013-10-28). This commit removes the
duplicate entry.
Markdown instance carries state for subsequent uses. Content
and summary parsing is done with the same instance. Since
footnotes are processed with an extension and stored as state,
content footnote is duplicated for summary.
This PR adds a ``.reset()`` call before summary parsing to clear
the state. It also adds a test case with footnotes.
More precisely, group tags or categories without considering the case.
This fixes the bug where two categories with just the case as difference were
considered as distinct, but generate the same file: one overwriting the other.
Thanks to @Avaris for helping with the tests.
When importing from Wordpress, the --dir-page directive (disabled by
default) automatically adds files to the pages/ when they are recognised
as pages, as opposed to posts.
Do not use abbreviated locale versions of month/whatever, because it seems that
this is not standard (e.g. MacOS abbreviating differently than GNU/Linux).
Tempdirs should have useful prefixes to aid in collecting information
about failed tests.
Implicit concatenation is better than backslash line continuation.
