Spring Rest Doc not producing html


I followed the getting started guide for Spring Rest Doc word by word, but I cannot get any html out of the generated snippets.

The snippets are generated fine in the directory I configure (build/generated-snippets), but I can't see any html5/ directory with html files generated out of the snippets.

The doc at some point says what to do to package the documentation in the jar, and it's clear that it expects some files in an html5/ directory, but this is not created when the build runs:

dependsOn asciidoctor
from("${asciidoctor.outputDir}/html5") {
    into 'static/docs'
}

What am I missing?

My project files, build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.3.5.RELEASE'
    }
}

plugins {
    id 'org.asciidoctor.convert' version '1.5.2'
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
apply plugin: 'jacoco'
apply plugin: 'war'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8

ext { 
    snippetsDir = file('build/generated-snippets')
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:1.3.5.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-logging:1.3.5.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa:1.3.5.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-rest:1.3.5.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-aws:1.1.0.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.postgresql:postgresql:9.4.1208'
    compile 'commons-io:commons-io:2.5'

    testCompile 'org.springframework.restdocs:spring-restdocs-mockmvc:1.1.0.RELEASE'   
    testCompile 'org.springframework.restdocs:spring-restdocs-core:1.1.0.RELEASE'
    testCompile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test:1.3.5.RELEASE'
}

jacoco {
    toolVersion = "0.7.6.201602180812"
    reportsDir = file("$buildDir/customJacocoReportDir")
}

test {
    outputs.dir snippetsDir
    jacoco {
        append = false
        destinationFile = file("$buildDir/jacoco/jacocoTest.exec")
        classDumpFile = file("$buildDir/jacoco/classpathdumps")
    }
}

asciidoctor { 
    attributes 'snippets': snippetsDir 
    inputs.dir snippetsDir 
    dependsOn test 
}

war {
    dependsOn asciidoctor
    from("${asciidoctor.outputDir}/html5") {
        into 'static/docs'
    }

    baseName = project_name
    version = version
    manifest {
        attributes(
            'Implementation-Title': project_name,
            'Implementation-Version': version
        )
    }
}

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '2.13'
}

and a simple test file I use to test:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = Application.class)
@WebAppConfiguration
public class ApiDocumentation
{
    @Rule
    public JUnitRestDocumentation restDocumentation = new JUnitRestDocumentation("build/generated-snippets");

    @Autowired
    private WebApplicationContext context;

    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @Before
    public void setUp()
    {
        mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(context)
                .apply(documentationConfiguration(restDocumentation))
                .build();
    }

    @Test
    public void testIndex() throws Exception
    {
        mockMvc.perform(get("/").accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON))
                .andExpect(status().isOk())
                .andDo(document("index"));
    }

}

Solution

  • Create an .adoc file (like api-guide.adoc) under src/main/asciidoc (Maven) or src/docs/asciidoc (Gradle) with reference to the generated snippets . Then the html will be generated in the specified directory .
