DITA-OT build fails - something to do with the dita-custom-ant-parser plugin?

[tthorner-sc]

Hi,

I'm using a text editor and running DITA-OT 3.7.2 from the command line (Windows 10). I'm trying to build a proof of concept document from a single ditamap that references three different source filetypes (DITA/asciidoc/Markdown).

I also tried this with Jason Fox's Pandoc-based OT plugin and got a similar error, so this might be an issue of PEBKAC on my end.

I appreciate any insights into where I'm going wrong. Here's the output I get from DITA-OT:

 [gen-list]  [asciidoc] Result: 1
 [gen-list]
 [gen-list] BUILD FAILED
 [gen-list] C:\Program Files\DITA-OT 3.x (Manual Install)\dita-ot-3.7.2\plugins\com.oxygenxml.ant.parser.dita\resources\build.xml:19: The following error occurred while executing this line:
 [gen-list] C:\Program Files\DITA-OT 3.x (Manual Install)\dita-ot-3.7.2\plugins\com.oxygenxml.ant.parser.dita\resources\build.xml:34: input file C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\test17911611251485333634.outTemp1 does not exist

    [chunk] null
    [chunk] null

The build.xml lines that get called out in the OT error message have this content:
Line 19: <antcall target="asciidoc2dita"/>
Line 34: <xslt in="${output.file.temp1}" out="${output.file.temp2}" style="db4-upgrade.xsl">

I added the asciidoc installation path on line 8 of the same build.xml file, as follows:
<property name="asciidoc.install.dir" value="C:\Users\xxx\Documents\asciidoc-10.2.0"/>

My ditamap looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Map//EN" "map.dtd">
<map chunk="to-content">
 <title>Three Filetypes - DITA/Asciidoc/Markdown</title>
 <topicref href="topics/t_demo_intro.dita" format="dita"/>
 <topicref href="topics/ug_ldap_synchronization.asciidoc" format="ant-parser"/>
 <topicref href="topics/t_sys_container_ldap.dita" format="dita"/>
 <topicref href="topics/test.md" format="markdown"/>
</map>

This demo project's folder structure is fairly standard, the ditamap is at the top level along with a topics folder and others that the OT creates (e.g. out).

Thanks much.

Can you post more information from the console output you receive? I'm interested in the lines above this line:

   [gen-list]  [asciidoc] Result: 1

because it seems that the ASCIIDOC process fails (that's the reason for the "Result: 1" message) but I do not have enough information in the console output you pasted to understand why.

[tthorner-sc]

Hi Radu, thanks for the reply.

The [gen-list] [asciidoc] Result: 1 line is the first line that appears in the console after I run the dita command. In my original post for this issue I included the entirety of the console output.

Does that provide a clue about me possibly misconfiguring something or installing something the wrong way? Thanks.

• Edit: Is there a way to make the console output more verbose?

[raducoravu]

Are you running the "dita" command with the "-v" verbose flag?

[tthorner-sc]

Thanks, I ran the dita command again using the -v flag. Here's the output:

Great, so it fails here when attempting to start the "asciidoc.py" script:

 [gen-list] asciidoc2dita:
[gen-list]  [asciidoc] 'C:\Users\xxx\Documents\asciidoc-10.2.0\asciidoc.py' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
 [gen-list]  [asciidoc] operable program or batch file.
[gen-list]  [asciidoc] Result: 1
  [gen-list]

The build file here https://github.com/oxygenxml/dita-custom-ant-parser/blob/master/com.oxygenxml.ant.parser.dita/resources/build.xml
has this target which fails:

    <exec executable="cmd" osfamily="windows" taskname="asciidoc">
        <arg value="/C"/>
        <arg value="${asciidoc.install.dir}\asciidoc.py -o &quot;${output.file.temp1}&quot; -b docbook &quot;${input.file}&quot;"/>
    </exec>

Does the file "C:\Users\xxx\Documents\asciidoc-10.2.0\asciidoc.py" actually exist? If it does, maybe you have not properly installed Python so that you can directly invoke Python scripts in the console.
You can try to open a command prompt window in the "C:\Users\xxx\Documents\asciidoc-10.2.0" folder and try to start the "asciidoc.py" script by using "cmd /C asciidoc.py". If it does not work you probably need to configure the Python installation so that it starts working.

[tthorner-sc]

Thanks again. I don't see asciidoc.py under C:\User\xxx\Documents\asciidoc-10.2.0\ but I do see an asciidoc.py file under C:\User\xxx\Documents\asciidoc-10.2.0\asciidoc.

When I run "cmd /C asciidoc.py" from the C:\User\xxx\Documents\asciidoc-10.2.0\ folder I get the standard error message "'asciidoc.py' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Per your suggestion, I think I'll need to configure my Python installation. By configure do you mean Windows environment variables? Something else? Thanks for any insight.

[raducoravu]

@tthorner-sc I do not have much experience using Python on Windows, I think I only tried the plugin on Mac OS.
I think that at some point during the installation Python should ask if you want to associate it with all ".py" extension files.
How about if you open a command line in "C:\User\xxx\Documents\asciidoc-10.2.0" and use the "python asciidoc.py" command? Does it seem to load the script?
If so you can try to make changes to the build.xml specified above something like:

<exec executable="python" osfamily="windows" taskname="asciidoc">
    <arg value="${asciidoc.install.dir}\asciidoc.py -o &quot;${output.file.temp1}&quot; -b docbook &quot;${input.file}&quot;"/>
</exec>

I appreciate your suggestions. This Windows machine is my work laptop.

Before reading your most recent reply, I tried reinstalling Python. I made sure to check boxes like "Associate files with Python."

When I go to the C:\User\xxx\Documents\asciidoc-10.2.0 and run "py asciidoc.py" I get the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\xxx\Documents\asciidoc-10.2.0\asciidoc\asciidoc.py", line 23, in <module>
    import ast
  File "C:\Program Files\Python310\lib\ast.py", line 29, in <module>
    from contextlib import contextmanager, nullcontext
  File "C:\Program Files\Python310\lib\contextlib.py", line 5, in <module>
    from collections import deque
ImportError: cannot import name 'deque' from 'collections' (C:\Users\xxx\Documents\asciidoc-10.2.0\asciidoc\collections.py)

After revising the build.xml file with changes you suggested, the latest verbose output from running my ditamap through the DITA-OT is as follows:

I'm pretty stumped. Is there anything else you can suggest? Thanks again.

[raducoravu]

Did you make any changes to the com.oxygenxml.ant.parser.dita/resources/build.xml build file? If so, what did you change?

[tthorner-sc]

Thanks for the reply. I tried revising those lines in build.xml as you suggested to be more like:

<exec executable="python" osfamily="windows" taskname="asciidoc">
            <arg value="/C"/>
            <arg value="${asciidoc.install.dir}\asciidoc.py -o &quot;${output.file.temp1}&quot; -b docbook &quot;${input.file}&quot;"/>
        </exec>

After that I ran the dita command again and got the output that I shared in my most recent comment. I also tried running the dita command without the "-v" and noticed that part of the output went from saying "[gen-list] [asciidoc] Result: 1" to saying "[gen-list] [asciidoc] Result: 9009"

That seems rather cryptic, but maybe a clue?

[raducoravu]

Maybe you can paste again or attach the console output, does it show any other error line before the "Result: 9009" part?
About the changes you made to the build.xml, I have not tested but you can probably either remove the " <arg value="/C"/>" part or instead modify the code something like:

 <exec executable="cmd" osfamily="windows" taskname="asciidoc">
        <arg value="/C"/>
        <arg value="python ${asciidoc.install.dir}\asciidoc.py -o &quot;${output.file.temp1}&quot; -b docbook &quot;${input.file}&quot;"/>
    </exec>

[tthorner-sc]

Thanks very much for your suggestions. I tried the most recent build.xml revisions, still got the same result.

After that, I decided to try making this work on my personal computer (Ubuntu), where I have Oxygen 23.1 installed. I'm using the HTML5 Transformation Scenario. After installing the plugin, installing asciidoc, and running the transformation, I got the same output as before along with this message from Oxygen:

[DOTJ013E] Failed to parse the referenced file 'file:/PATH/TO/topics/ug_ldap_synchronization.asciidoc'.: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.oxygenxml.ant.dita.AntProcessReader

Is this a package thing? A PATH thing? Thanks for any insight.

[raducoravu]

So focusing just on the "ClassNotFoundException: com.oxygenxml.ant.dita.AntProcessReader".
So you have Oxygen 23.1, did you install the plugin in the DITA OT bundled inside the Oxygen installation folder or do you have your own external DITA OT folder? How did you install the plugin? Did you run "dita --install" from the command line or did you run the "DITA OT integrator" transformation scenario from the Oxygen "Transformation Scenarios" view?
If you restart Oxygen do you get the same "ClassNotFoundException: com.oxygenxml.ant.dita.AntProcessReader" error reported?
As a last instance, before running the transformation scenario in Oxygen edit it (or duplicate and edit it if it is read-only), in the "Advanced" tab click the "Libraries" button, add a reference to the "com.oxygenxml.ant.parser.dita/lib/antProcessDita.jar" library and try to publish again using the modified transformation scenario.

[tthorner-sc]

Thanks for the reply. I installed the plugin using the dita --install command, pointing to a zip file on my local machine and tarageting the OT folder that comes bundled with Oxygen. Running dita --plugins confirms that the com.oxygenxml.ant.parser.dita plugin is installed.

I tried restarting Oxygen and running the transformation again, after which I started getting this error message in the Results panel:

[DOTJ013E] Failed to parse the referenced file 'file:/PATH/TO/ug_ldap_synchronization.asciidoc.: net.sf.saxon.trans.XPathException: Error reported by XML parser processing file:/PATH/TO/ug_ldap_synchronization.asciidoc: Premature end of file

The asciidoc file has a single blank line at the end. I hope this information is sufficient for troubleshooting, and as always any insight is appreciated.

[raducoravu]

Hi, so restarting Oxygen helped as Oxygen did not previously know that you have installed a new plugin in the DITA OT.
And now you have another error but I need more details.
Can you maybe save and attach as a file the entire console output received in the "DITA OT" console tab view during the transformation? In the Oxygen Preferences->"DITA / Logging" page you can switch the "Show console output->Always" radio button to always show that console tab when transforming.
