Build and update API docs

For more details about the Gerrit workflow, see Gerrit Workflow.

To build and updates any of the API documents:

  1. Open a Terminal window.

  2. Change into a directory where you want to clone api-site.

  3. Run this command to clone openstack/api-site:

    git clone https://github.com/openstack/api-site
  4. CD into the api-site directory.

  5. Run these commands to ensure you have the latest changes:

    git remote update
    git checkout master
    git pull origin master
  6. To checkout a new branch:

    git checkout -b "*my_branch*"

    Otherwise, to checkout an existing review:

    git review d change-number /* where change-number is the change number of the review
  7. Make your changes.

  8. Run this command to build the docs locally:

    mvn clean generate-sources
  9. To check in your changes, see Gerrit Workflow.

Run tests

Install the python tox package and run tox from the top-level directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins gating jobs.

If you like to run individual tests, run:

  • tox -e checkniceness - to run the niceness tests
  • tox -e checksyntax - to run syntax checks
  • tox -e checkdeletions - to check that no deleted files are referenced
  • tox -e checkbuild - to actually build the manual

tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these tests. openstack-doc-tools has a requirement on maven for the build check.
