From f0e02f5df2bc3ae779ac8c18578deebdfecc7e97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morgan <1342360+anoadragon453@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2021 18:00:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Create an index.html file when generating a docs build (#10242) Currently when a new build of the docs is created, an `index.html` file does not exist. Typically this would be generated from a`docs/README.md` file - which we have - however we're currently using [docs/README.md](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/394673055db4df49bfd58c2f6118834a6d928563/docs/README.md) to explain the docs and point to the website. It is not part of the content of the website. So we end up not having an `index.html` file, which will result in a 404 page if one tries to navigate to `https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse//index.html`. This isn't a really problem for the default version of the documentation (currently `develop`), as [navigating to the top-level root](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/) of the website (without specifying a version) will [redirect](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/a77e6925f26597958eccf0ef9956cb13c536e57e/index.html#L2) you to the Welcome and Overview page of the `develop` docs version. However, ideally once we add a GUI for switching between versions, we'll want to send the user to `matrix-org.github.io/synapse//index.html`, which currently isn't generated. This PR modifies the CI that builds the docs to simply copy the rendered [Welcome & Overview page](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/welcome_and_overview.html) to `index.html`. --- .github/workflows/docs.yaml | 7 ++++++- changelog.d/10242.doc | 1 + 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 changelog.d/10242.doc diff --git a/.github/workflows/docs.yaml b/.github/workflows/docs.yaml index 23b8d7f90..c239130c5 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/docs.yaml +++ b/.github/workflows/docs.yaml @@ -23,7 +23,12 @@ jobs: mdbook-version: '0.4.9' - name: Build the documentation - run: mdbook build + # mdbook will only create an index.html if we're including docs/README.md in SUMMARY.md. + # However, we're using docs/README.md for other purposes and need to pick a new page + # as the default.
