- Hard-wire the supported Tendermint version(s) right in the code of BigchainDB Server. Check the version of Tendermint and disconnect if Tendermint version is an unsupported one.
- Expose a CLI command bigchaindb tendermint-version to display the supported Tendermint versions.
- PR also takes care the long list of warnings we get when we run tests.
- Updated deprecated pymongo methods
- Do not call pytest fixtures directly.
- Also added the doc for the new cli command
The BigchainDB Documentation Strategy
- Include explanatory comments and docstrings in your code. Write Google style docstrings with a maximum line width of 119 characters.
- For quick overview and help documents, feel free to create
README.mdor otherX.mdfiles, written using GitHub-flavored Markdown. Markdown files render nicely on GitHub. We might auto-convert some .md files into a format that can be included in the long-form documentation. - We use Sphinx to generate the long-form documentation in various formats (e.g. HTML, PDF).
- We also use Sphinx to generate Python code documentation (from docstrings and possibly other sources).
- We also use Sphinx to document all REST APIs, with the help of the
httpdomainextension.
How to Generate the HTML Version of the Long-Form Documentation
If you want to generate the HTML version of the long-form documentation on your local machine, you need to have Sphinx and some Sphinx-contrib packages installed. To do that, go to a subdirectory of docs (e.g. docs/server) and do:
pip install -r requirements.txt
If you're building the Server docs (in docs/server) then you must also do:
pip install -e ../../
Note: Don't put -e ../../ in the requirements.txt file. That will work locally
but not on ReadTheDocs.
You can then generate the HTML documentation in that subdirectory by doing:
make html
It should tell you where the generated documentation (HTML files) can be found. You can view it in your web browser.
Building Docs with Docker Compose
You can also use Docker Compose to build and host docs.
$ docker-compose up -d bdocs
The docs will be hosted on port 33333, and can be accessed over localhost, 127.0.0.1 OR http:/HOST_IP:33333.
