Build documentation on every diff
Currently, the documentation is only built once a day with no notification, so it's easy to let typos slip through.
It should be part of the test suite. Options (ordered from easier to most efficient):
- naively clone all of swh-environment + the current diff and build swh-docs with
tox -e sphinx-dev
. this takes 5-10 minutes, which is more than the build time of any single repo, because it needs to install all the deps and sphinx has no cache - have some base state with all the dependencies installed (and possibly sphinx's cache warmed up), eg. generated by the daily cron; then just apply the current Diff, re-run its setup, and
make html
. - only build the local documentation of the repo, and find a way to ignore references to other repositories. (This will also hide typos in internal references...)
- only build the local documentation of the repo, but migrate all repos to use inter-sphinx, so building the local repo can check all references are valid. But have about 20 sphinx instances interconnected like this requires migrating all references and keeping them in sync
Personally I have a preference for option 2.
