Usage with [email protected]

[KnorpelSenf]

I want to use the new --entryPoints feature of typedoc that allows me to specify the entry point of the library for which I want to generate docs. It makes typedoc reduce the number of visible elements to those that are actually exported. I have to rely on a beta version for this, i.e. [email protected] or later.

Without typedoc-plugin-pages the docs can be built, but once I install it, I get the following error during building:

Error: The partial literal could not be found

  endLineNumber: undefined,
  message: 'The partial literal could not be found',
  name: 'Error',
  number: undefined
}

Maybe it is relevant that I'm also using TypeScript 4.1 which is not supported by typedoc yet.

I could not find out what is causing the error, but here is a script that should reproduce the error for you from scratch.

git clone [email protected]:telegraf/telegraf.git
cd telegraf
npm install
npm i -D typedoc@beta typedoc-plugin-pages
mkdir -p docs/pages
echo -e "# Example page\n\nHere is some content" > docs/pages/page.md
echo '{"groups":[{"title":"Documentation","pages":[{"title":"MyPage","source":"./docs/pages/page.md"}]}]}' > pagesconfig.json
npm run build:docs -- --entryPoints src/index.ts --theme pages-plugin

I know that I cannot expect a quick fix as I'm using so many unstable versions everywhere, but I'd still be happy if someone could point me in the right direction so I can fork and fix it locally or maybe even PR.

Fix appears to be here: https://github.com/mipatterson/typedoc-plugin-pages/pull/41/files

[dannyrb]

Published to NPM w/ patch applied here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/typedoc-plugin-pages-fork

@mipatterson if you want another set of eyes to babysit, more than happy to assist with basic maintenance every now and then.

@dannyrb thank you for the fork. this solved it for me

[sl1g18]

@dannyrb thanks for creating the fork, can you confirm if search works for you? It seems like the search doesn't work with latest typedoc

Information for anyone stumbling upon this issue to get the pages plugin to work.

As of 2021-11-23 there is this repository, a fork and a fork of the fork:

• https://github.com/mipatterson/typedoc-plugin-pages
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/typedoc-plugin-pages-fork
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/typedoc-plugin-pages-fork-fork

None of them works with TypeDoc v0.22+.

Hi,

thank you for the (unfortunate) update...
Have you tried to write to the forks maintainers to see if they can upgrade the plugin?
