Unable to generate the documentation using apiDocjs

Went through couple of tutorials and documentations, including main documentation here.Following it, created two files:

1. example.js

   var currentUser={
   name='Mary'
   };
   /**
   * @api {get} /user/ Request User information
   * @apiName GetUser
   * @apiGroup User
   */
   
   function getUser(){
    return {code 200,data:currentUser};
   }
   function setName(name){
       if(name.length==0){
         return {code:404,message:'NameEmptyError'};
       }
   currentUser.name=name;
   return {code 204};
   }
   

2. testpython.py

   """
   @api {get} /user/ Request User information
   @apiName GetUser
   @apiGroup User
   """
   print "hello"
   

Saved both of them in a folder, say "my_project". On Mac terminal, went to parent directory of "my_project". Ran the script:

apidoc -i my_project/ -o apidoc/

Getting error :

• ERROR - Failed to parse sources

It's basic, but somehow, not getting success.

This happens when you install package both, from npm and pip3. Clear the currently installed apiDoc packages completely. To remove npm package, to go terminal and type :

cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules

Then to uninstall it, type :

sudo npm uninstall apidoc

This will remove the npm-apidoc package. To remove the pip3 package :

sudo pip3 uninstall apidoc 

To remove them manually , to go :

/usr/local/lib/pythonVERSION/dist-packages

Now for fresh install:

sudo npm install apidoc -g

This should do it :).
