Competing static site generators integrate the functionality of regenerating
content and serving it into their main executable. In pelican this
functionality used to be in an external script `develop_server.sh` which
resides in the blog base directory. This has the disadvantage that changes in
pelican can break the `develop_server.sh` scripts which will not automatically
be upgraded together with pelican by package managers. Thus, pelican should
integrate this functionality into its main executable.
To this end, this commit removes `develop_server.sh` and adds three command
line options to the pelican executable:
* `-l/--listen` starts the HTTP server (`-s/--serve` was already taken)
* `-p/--port` specifies the port to listen at
* `-b/--bind` specifies the IP to bind to
`--listen` and `--autoreload` can be used together to achieve the same
effect that other static site generators offer: Serve files via HTTP
while at the same time auto-generating the content.
Since the `develop_server.sh` script was removed, pelican-quickstart looses the
`develop` option.
Since the `develop_server.sh` script was removed, the Makefile looses the
`stopserver` target and the `devserver` target is replaced by running `pelican
-l` in the foreground.
Since pelican now offers the `--listen` option, the fabfile uses that instead
of starting the socketserver itself.
Fix intrasite links for non-'summary' metadata
Metadata like `MyArticleBanner: ` would be properly parsed (as defined in `FORMATTED_FIELDS`), but the intrasite links would not be processed.
Only the summary gets its intrasite links processed, has its value is either generated from the content (calling self._update_content at some point) or self._update_content is explicitly called if summary is passed as metadata.
This PR expands the paths as soon as possible in (`Content.__init__`) for metadata defined in `FORMATTED_FIELDS`.
Starting with python 3.6 warnings are issued for invalid escape
sequences in regular expressions. This commit corrects all
DeprecationWarning's via properly declaring the offending
regular expressions as raw strings.
Resolves#2095.
ref #1689
* set default settigns in settings.py to False for
- LOAD_CONTENT_CACHE
- CACHE_CONTENT
* remove AUTORELOAD_IGNORE_CACHE and add deprecation warning
* update settings.rst to reflect the new default values
* update test_cache to enable caching options
Adds exception type to the exception logging.
Removes the extra logging for autoreload in debug mode, since `raise`
will make it caught by the global `try/except` below and it'll be
logged there.
This replaces #1723 and also removes extra exception logging caused
in #1718.
Otherwise, `RELATIVE_URLS` in the config file is ignored and
`RELATIVE_URLS` is set to `False` if `--relative-urls` is not
specified.
Fixes an issue introduced in #1592
There was an issue with static path watchers, where they were watching wrong paths.
They need to be prefixed with the 'content' path. So, they were not working at all.
It was also possible to overwrite default watchers like 'content', 'settings' and
'theme' by mistake if any of them were present in `STATIC_PATHS`. This is fixed
by adding a prefix to static watchers.
And static watchers were "too static", meaning, they stayed the same even if
`STATIC_PATHS` was changed in the settings during autoreload. Now static watchers
reflect those changes (i.e. new paths are added to watch list, and removed ones
are no longer watched).
Until now, making static files end up in the same output directory as an
article that links to them has been difficult, especially when the article's
output path is generated based on metadata. This changeset introduces the
{attach} link syntax, which works like the {filename} syntax, but also
overrides the static file's output path with the directory of the
linking document.
It also clarifies and expands the documentation on linking to internal content.
This change partially addresses issue #1019, by teaching Pelican to distinguish
between static files and content source files. A user can now safely add the
same directory to both STATIC_PATHS and PAGE_PATHS (or ARTICLE_PATHS). Pelican
will then process the content source files in that directory normally, and
treat the remaining files as static, without copying the raw content source
files to the output directory. (The OUTPUT_SOURCES setting still works.)
In other words, images and markdown/reST files can now safely live together.
To keep those files together in the generated site, STATIC_SAVE_AS and
PAGE_SAVE_AS (or ARTICLE_SAVE_AS) should point to the same output directory.
There are two new configuration settings:
STATIC_EXCLUDES=[] # This works just like PAGE_EXCLUDES and ARTICLE_EXCLUDES.
STATIC_EXCLUDE_SOURCES=True # Set this to False to get the old behavior.
Two small but noteworthy internal changes:
StaticGenerator now runs after all the other generators. This allows it to see
which files are meant to be processed by other generators, and avoid them.
Generators now include files that they fail to process (e.g. those with missing
mandatory metadata) along with all the other paths in context['filenames'].
This allows such files to be excluded from StaticGenerator's file list, so they
won't end up accidentally published. Since these files have no Content object,
their value in context['filenames'] is None. The code that uses that dict has
been updated accordingly.
Old system was using manual string formatting for log messages.
This caused issues with common operations like exception logging
because often they need to be handled differently for Py2/Py3
compatibility. In order to unify the effort:
- All logging is changed to `logging.level(msg, arg1, arg2)` style.
- A `SafeLogger` is implemented to auto-decode exceptions properly
in the args (ref #1403).
- Custom formatters were overriding useful logging functionality
like traceback outputing (ref #1402). They are refactored to be
more transparent. Traceback information is provided in `--debug`
mode for `read_file` errors in generators.
- Formatters will now auto-format multiline log messages in order
to make them look related. Similarly, traceback will be formatted in
the same fashion.
- `pelican.log.LimitFilter` was (ab)using logging message which
would result in awkward syntax for argumented logging style. This
functionality is moved to `extra` keyword argument.
- Levels for errors that would result skipping a file (`read_file`)
changed from `warning` to `error` in order to make them stand out
among other logs.
- Small consistency changes to log messages (i.e. changing all
to start with an uppercase letter) and quality-of-life improvements
(some log messages were dumping raw object information).
