* All new documentationAldo Cortesi2018-02-221-148/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch does a lot. - Ditch sphinx in favor of hugo. This gives us complete control of the layout and presentation of our docs. Henceforth, docs will be hosted on our website rather than ReadTheDocs. - Create a simple, clean doc layout and theme. - Remove large parts of the documentaion. I've ditched anything that was a) woefully out of date, b) too detailed, or c) too hard to maintain in the long term. - Huge updates to the docs themselves: completely rewrite addons documentation, add docs for core concepts like commands and options, and revise and tweak a lot of the existing docs. With this patch, we're also changing the way we publish and maintain the docs. From now on, we don't publish docs for every release. Instead, the website will contain ONE set of docs for each major release. The online docs will be updated if needed as minor releases are made. Docs are free to improve during minor releases, but anything that changes behaviour sufficiently to require a doc change warrants a new major release. This also leaves us free to progressively update and improve docs out of step with our release cadence. With this new scheme, I feel CI over the docs is less important. I've removed it for now, but won't object if someone wants to add it back in.

* Revamp how addons workAldo Cortesi2017-04-251-17/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Addons now nest, which means that addons can manage addons. This has a number of salutary effects - the scripts addon no longer has to poke into the global addons list, we no longer have to replace/remove/boot-outof parent addons when we load scripts, and this paves the way for making our top-level tools into addons themselves. - All addon calls are now wrapped in a safe execution environment where exceptions are caught, and output to stdout/stderr are intercepted and turned into logs. - We no longer support script arguments in sys.argv - creating an option properly is the only way to pass arguments. This means that all scripts are always directly controllable from interctive tooling, and that arguments are type-checked. For now, I've disabled testing of the har dump example - it needs to be moved to the new argument handling, and become a class addon. I'll address that in a separate patch.

| | | | | | | This commit is largely based on work by Thiago Arrais (@thiagoarrais) and Shane Bradfield (@l33tLumberjack). I wasn't really able to get their PR reasonably merged onto the latest master, so I reapplied their changes manually here and did some further improvements on that.
