Trying to build docset for sagemath results in error

[aikrahguzar]

Hi, thanks for this tool. I have installed sagemath through nix and it includes documentation using sphinx. I am trying to build a docset for it using

doc2dash -n Sage -f -d ~/.local/share/dashdocs/ -i ~/Downloads/sage_logo_new_hc-nq8.png /nix/store/150yjwckyscc2kisgx93fs40cwk5wwdp-sagedoc-9.6/share/doc/sage/html/en/reference

However this fails with

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '.buildinfo'

The .buildinfo files seem to be part of many sub-directories of the documentation directory and the look like this,

# Sphinx build info version 1
# This file hashes the configuration used when building these files. When it is not found, a full rebuild will be done.
config: f164681b73cecad2fb4d00961dc5623f
tags: 645f666f9bcd5a90fca523b33c5a78b7

I assume these are for nix (I don't know much, sagemath is the only thing I use nix for). Is it possible to ignore these files somehow? Or for doc2dash to continue despite such errors and generate docset based on files it can successfully consume?

[Hynek Schlawack]

I think ignoring .buildinfo is the most straight-forward approach here.

Agreed! Is it possible to do that? I couldn't see an option to ignore files from the output of doc2dash --help or the docs at https://doc2dash.readthedocs.io/

Would it be possible for you to try out the https://github.com/hynek/doc2dash/tree/ignore-buildinfo branch and tell me if it helped?

Hi, thank you but unfortunately it doesn't help. I don't know much python beyond what I have used for sage but here is what I tried to test the branch,

and the error is the same as before.

[Hynek Schlawack]

Oh so the error happens when it's trying to delete something, not copy something?

Can you please give me a full trace back as returned by the current PyPI version (or the main branch)?

I tried that and also started with a clean directory and this time I get a different error,

The file in that error .local/share/dashdocs/SageNew.docset/Contents/Resources/Documents/index.html is a regular file owned by my me but its permissions are -r--r--r-- so no write permission and I think that is inherited from nix and might be the problem.

[Hynek Schlawack]

I'm starting to suspect that the issue/solution might be to change the copy mask of the files.

(I.e. make them u+rw no matter what they are before)

That makes sense. Is there any easy to test it?

[Hynek Schlawack]

So we can keep this open, but my suggestion to you for now is to do a cp -a NIX-PATH/docs docs; chmod -R u+w ./docs; doc2dash ... ./docs

That should fix it, no?

Thanks a lot, that worked. I think that is an acceptable workaround for idiosyncrasies of nix so I will close this issue.
