I am having problems installing raco docs, meaning I want raco docs foo-pkg
to work no matter how I installed the package. To give you an example of a failure, I created a racket package and put it up on the raco pkg server: https://pkgd.racket-lang.org/pkgn/package/bleir-sandbox which refers to a github repo https://github.com/rebcabin/bleir-sandbox I then created two, fresh, Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machines via Virtual Box. On both machines, I installed racket 8.2 as follows: sudo apt install racket sudo add-apt-repository ppa:plt/racket sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade On machine 1, I did raco pkg install bleir-sandbox raco test .local/share/racket/8.2/pkgs/bleir-sanbox # all copacetic raco docs bleir-sandbox WORKS! Scribble docs show up in Firefox On machine 2, I did git clone https://github.com/rebcabin/bleir-sandbox.git cd bleir-sandbox git checkout master cd .. raco pkg install bleir-sandbox raco test .local/share/racket/8.2/pkgs/bleir-sandbox # everything copacetic raco docs bleir-sandbox NO MATCHES FOUND! Raco docs show no entries found for bleir-sandbox Worse yet, if I try on machine 2 to do it the working way, it doesn't work, and it fails forever more. raco pkg remove bleir-sandbox raco pkg install bleir-sandbox raco test .local/share/racket/8.2/pkgs/bleir-sanbox # all copacetic raco docs bleir-sandbox NO MATCHES FOUND!, NEVER EVER AGAIN I flushed Firefox cache, I did sudo racket setup for everything, and more trial-and-error. Incidentally, some packages installed from the cloud also don't install docs. For example, raco pkg install beautiful-racket # the package works great raco docs beautiful-racket # NOT FOUND! I have similar problems on Ubuntu 21, but racket doesn't install things in .local/share/racket/8.2. In fact, I've been unable to find out where racket is installing packages on Ubuntu 21 (i.e., in what directories), even thoug raco pkg show shows all the packages I expect to see, and they all apparently work properly except for doc install. Would someone be so kind as to help me 1) understand what the heck is going on? 2) find a reliable, robust way to always install the docs on the packages I develop. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
