Cocoapods generates a plist which can be copied "post_install" to the settings bundle.
I'd love to add some custom entries in for items which need attribution but aren't Cocoapods.
I've looked through the source for https://github.com/CocoaPods/cocoapods-acknowledgements but I am not familiar with Ruby and I can't figure out where to start.
post_install do | installer |
require'fileutils'
FileUtils.cp_r('Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-xxx/Pods-xxx-acknowledgements.plist', 'xxx/Settings.bundle/Acknowledgements.plist', :remove_destination => true)
end
I don't need someone to write a whole solution for me, just point me in the right direction.
As my not complete answer got deleted, here now the full working version:
Based on this python script: https://gist.github.com/wagyu298/cb11f5d6eabd9acc7425cc106fc03fd2
We came up with a solution in our project:
def add_license_manually
require 'cfpropertylist'
additional_license = {
"FooterText" => "Copyright (c) 2020, Example Dev All rights reserved.
Redistribution......",
"License" => "MIT",
"Title" => "Library",
"Type" => "PSGroupSpecifier"
}
ack_plist_name = 'Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-xxx/Pods-xxx-acknowledgements.plist'
# read plist
plist = CFPropertyList::List.new(:file => ack_plist_name)
# convert to native data
data = CFPropertyList.native_types(plist.value)
# append the license
data["PreferenceSpecifiers"].insert(-1, additional_license)
# convert back
plist.value = CFPropertyList.guess(data)
# write plist to file
plist.save(ack_plist_name, CFPropertyList::List::FORMAT_XML)
end
And in your post_install, you add add_license_manually() before the
FileUtis.cp_r(...)
line
I am looking at making changes to an existing project hosted on github and readthedocs. However the generated HTML looks to be built by Sphinx without a conf.py.
$ ls
appendixA.rst chapter11.rst chapter17.rst chapter4.rst html
appendixB.rst chapter12.rst chapter18.rst chapter5.rst images
appendixC.rst chapter13.rst chapter19.rst chapter6.rst index.rst
attribution.rst chapter14.rst chapter2.rst chapter7.rst sandbox
chapter1.rst chapter15.rst chapter20.rst chapter8.rst src
chapter10.rst chapter16.rst chapter3.rst chapter9.rst toc.txt
Note particularly that index.rst exists but conf.py does not. find also shows it is not hiding somewhere else in the project. The generated site on readthedocs works and is consistent with the latest, including some problems seen in the github project, eg Chapter 1 is not indexed properly due to being listed under another name in index.rst.
I am new to Sphinx and readthedocs. In my new local build environment, sphinx doesn't like it at all:
> sphinx-build -b html . html/
Application error:
config directory doesn't contain a conf.py file (.)
That's consistent with the documentation, but not the readthedocs website behaviour. I'm guessing that readthedocs has some fallback behaviour for these cases, probably by generating a simple conf.py from other configuration it holds. However, it makes it hard to reproduce when making changes locally, especially for a project I don't own. If this is the case, I can't find any documentation on this feature. If I am not missing something simple (entirely possible), is there any?
My next step will be to write a new conf.py, and get it to conform to the existing behaviour on a local site. This would be easier if I understood the existing behaviour.
The actual project in question is the Jython book:
https://jython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
https://github.com/jython/book
Had no luck finding related issues or questions on google, stackoverflow, readthedocs doco or issues. The readthedocs code at https://github.com/rtfd/readthedocs.org/blob/master/readthedocs/projects/models.py seems to have a check for conf.py, too.
Huh, that's interesting that you don't have a conf.py but the docs still built successfully on Date: 2017-10-24T19:18:40.379930Z. I'm just as dumbfounded as you.
Anyway, you can find the conf.py that RTD ends up using under the project's build's raw log file. That might save you some grief. Note that the versions are about 1.5 years old, so you would need to pin versions to try to reproduce it exactly.

I have determined what is causing the problem but I have no idea why it is happening or how to fix it. I am using a boiler-plate fragment of HTML from Creative Commons which identifies the license governing use of the documentation. I took the base sphinx_rtd_theme Footer.html and added this fragment to it and used the modified Footer.html to override the base copy. The fragment follows:
<br /> <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/">
<img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-sa/4.0/88x31.png" /></a>
<br />
<p>
This work is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License</a>
</p>
The fragment actually works as this HTML is correctly rendered on ReadTheDocs but the rest of the formatting disappears.
What do I need to do to get the local display on ReadTheDocs?
Sounds like static assets are not getting copied over on RTD. Let's look at the build log, under python /home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/orderedtree/envs/latest/bin/sphinx-build -T -E -b readthedocs -d _build/doctrees-readthedocs -D language=en . _build/html:
copying static files... WARNING: html_static_path entry '/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/readthedocs/templates/sphinx/_static' does not exist
You know what? That error sounds strangely familiar for some reason....
Let's see the setting in your conf.py:
html_static_path = ['_static']
Try changing that to:
html_static_path = []
Seems to work for about a dozen other users.
I am trying to generate a pdf using rst2pdf, but keep getting the error "format not resolved, probably missing URL or undefined destination for target".
I use sphinx to generate the .rst files and am able to generate the HTML output just fine.
To generate the pdf I followed the instructions at: https://gist.github.com/alfredodeza/7fb5c667addb1c6963b9

This has now been resolved in rst2pdf via PR 619.
You can install the version of rst2pdf that has this fix by doing this:
$ cd {some directory where you keep 3rd-party projects, e.g. ~/projects}
$ git clone https://github.com/rst2pdf/rst2pdf.git
$ cd rst2pdf
$ python setup.py install
If you are still getting this message in 2021, it likely means rst2pdf can't figure out where one or more of your links is pointed. For example, I had in-page nav links in my .rst code like this that were ok when building HTML but causing the error referred to by the OP during PDF generation:
`Back to top ↑ <#top>`_
The most reliable solution seems to be to remove these in-page links.
Alternatively, you could just convert these implicit links to raw html blocks like below, which could be a solution if you can get rst2pdf to render raw html using xhtml2pdf (this isn't working for me, but perhaps someone else can get it).
.. |top| raw:: html
Back to top ↑
|top|
Note that in this alternative solution, the in-page links probably will not work in most PDF viewers, so this is really only a solution to get .rst files to compile to both PDF and HTML (as the OP asked), rather than one that will allow identical behavior.
I'm writing my first Rakefile. The first things that I see in the doc is "there is no special format for a Rakefile" and "there is no special syntax in a Rakefile".
Ok, so I had to come up with something on my own, but I can see at least two problems with my creature:
1) I need to create a number of folders, five of them. The sequence of 6 directory tasks looks a bit weird. The list of 5 dependencies in deploy task looks even more weird. Can I shrink it down to one line somehow?
2) I need to repeat my directory name literals two times - when I define their deployment paths and when I copy the contents. Can I avoid that without introducing 5 more variables?
In Java Ant I would create a properties file with all name literals - can I do that with Rake?
This is what I've got:
WEBAPPSDIR = '/var/webapps/'
WEBAPPNAME = 'foo.local'
WEBAPPDIR = File.join(WEBAPPSDIR, WEBAPPNAME)
VIEWSDIR = File.join(WEBAPPDIR, 'views')
PUBLICDIR = File.join(WEBAPPDIR, 'public')
CSSDIR = File.join(PUBLICDIR, 'css')
IMAGESDIR = File.join(PUBLICDIR, 'images')
TMPDIR = File.join(WEBAPPDIR, 'tmp')
HTMLDIR = File.join(PUBLICDIR, 'html')
directory VIEWSDIR
directory CSSDIR
directory HTMLDIR
directory IMAGESDIR
directory TMPDIR
desc 'Deploy to webapps dir'
task :deploy => [VIEWSDIR, CSSDIR, IMAGESDIR, TMPDIR, HTMLDIR] do
cp 'config.ru', WEBAPPDIR
Dir.glob('*.rb') {|f| cp f, WEBAPPDIR}
Dir.glob('views/*.{mab,str}') {|f| cp f, VIEWSDIR}
Dir.glob('css/*.css') {|f| cp f, CSSDIR}
Dir.glob('images/*.{png,jpg,gif}') {|f| cp f, IMAGESDIR}
Dir.glob('html/*.html') {|f| cp f, VIEWSDIR}
end
desc 'Cleans webapp dir'
task :clean do
rm_r WEBAPPDIR, {force: true}
end
Other thoughts/links/examples are welcome too.
This does not really answer your question - but why don't you use capistrano ? If you don't know it already, it's a ruby tool frequently used to handle deployments smoothly
