This doesn't use polling unless absolutely necessarily, making it more efficient. It also reduces the amount of first-party code required, and simplifies working out which files are being watched.
Get rid of the coerce_overrides() function.
Add the ParseOverrides argparse.Action to parse overrides.
Treat all extra settings values strictly as json values.
Test overrides.
Edit docs and cli help.
Add a --setting-overrides KEY=VAL command line option to override
default settings or those defined in settings files. This adds
flexibility in running Pelican and helps reduce sprawl of settings
files. Cast int and str setting overrides to their respective types.
Support other setting types by treating them as JSON. Fall back to JSON
when an override typecast errors. This should make it possible to set
int values to None, resp. to JSON 'none'
Combined file and folder watchers under a class and refactored
common watcher related code from __init__.py to the class.
This simplifies the main and autoreload functions in __init__
as well as fix the problem with crashes related to multiprocessing
on systems where default spawn mode is "spawn" instead of "fork".
The intention was to prevent accidental source content data loss by
skipping output directory deletion if the output directory is a parent
of the source content directory. But the previous implementation did so
by checking path *strings*, resulting in scenarios where the following
settings would erroneously skip deletion of the output directory:
PATH = "/repo/docs-src/content"
OUTPUT_PATH = "/repo/docs"
The output directory should have been deleted but wasn't because the
PATH string contains "/repo/docs". This change eschews string comparison
and instead compares actual paths to ensure that the output path is not
a parent of the source content directory.
Users were previously met with an ugly traceback. Now `pelican --listen`
invocations, when quit via CTRL-C, are followed instead by a more
user-friendly message.
* Creates pelican.plugins
* Moves plugin related code under pelican.plugins
* pelican.plugins.signals is now the location for signals, pelican.signals is kept
for backwards compatibility
* pelican.plugins._utils contains necessary bits for plugin discovery and loading.
Logic from Pelican class is moved here. Pelican class now just asks for plugins
and registers them
* Contains tests for old and new plugin loading
This commit removes Six as a dependency for Pelican, replacing the
relevant aliases with the proper Python 3 imports. It also removes
references to Python 2 logic that did not require Six.
