docinfo is ignored in version 2.x of the plugin

[ghost]

Trying to upgrade to version 2.1.0 of the asciidoctor-gradle-plugin.

I use a docinfo.html to include custom CSS and an import to the tocbot.js JavaScript library for an expandable table of contents.

My config:

plugins {
    id 'org.asciidoctor.jvm.convert' version '2.1.0'
}

repositories { jcenter() }

asciidoctor {
    sourceDir = file("src/docs/asciidoc/")
    ant.touch(file:"${sourceDir}/index.adoc")
    sources {
        include 'index.adoc'
    }
     resources {
        from(sourceDir) {
            include ('images/**', 'assets/js/**')
        }
    }
    outputDir "${project.buildDir}"
    attributes = [
            'doctype'      : 'article',
            'toc'          : 'left',
            'sectanchors'   : 'true',
            'toc-title'    :  'My Document',
            'source-highlighter': 'highlightjs',
            'imagesdir'    : './images',
            'docinfo1'     : ''
    ]
}

Result:

My docinfo.html is ignored, so that the custom CSS and JavaScript import are missing from the generated HTML.

This may or may not be related, but you should not be using docinfo1 anymore. It should be docinfo: 'shared' or docinfo: 'private'.

@mojavelinux This will still use asciidoctorj 1.6, so I would expect docinfo1 to work.

[mojavelinux]

I'm not suggesting docinfo1 wouldn't work (just that maybe there is something else going on). But the point is, no matter what version of AsciidoctorJ you're using, you shouldn't be using docinfo1. It's been deprecated for years.

@dcp65 problem reproduced, but no understanding yet why it is happening. Currently investigating this and hoping for a fix for 2.2.0.

Oh my, it is the old issue and it is baseDir again. Right, I am going to fix it it in this way:

• Default safe mode should be unsafe. #371 Use UNSAFE by default.
• Include directive does not find file relative to current file #369 Allow control of how baseDir is set
• Add a note on README to use baseDirFollowsSourceDir() when using docinfo with docbook and html backends.
• Add code that detects at runtime that docinfo exists, but that a baseDir strategy has not been set and suggests that the author explicitly adds a strategy.

Fixed and scheduled for 2.2.0.
