Tracking of Incompatible Plugins

[balupton]

I've updated all the plugins this week using boundation to make them compatible with the latest DocPad conventions (targeting v6.83.1 specifically, as v6.80.0 brought CoffeeScript v2 which broke several old plugins, and v6.82.0 encouraged the use of getPath).

The following plugins have had their conventions updated, however need a volunteer to fix their tests:

• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-cleancss
• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-downloader
  • seems the downloads are happening in the cwd, instead of the intended location
• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-feedr
  • difficult as the underlying feedr library is deprecated, perhaps best to just make a new one called docpad-plugin-fetch or something, or just consider this one archived
• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-livereload
  • needs to be upgraded for the serve plugin
  • Incompatible with DocPad v6.81 and above docpad-plugin-livereload#31
• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-sass

These can probably be marked as deprecated, with the solutions being things outside of docpad's ecosystem, such as cloudflare worker redirects:

• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-cleanurls
  • has a lot of tests that depend on the serve plugin, however the serve plugin now implements a lot of the functionality of this already
  • cleanurls plugin should be updated to only be used for generating static redirect files
• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-dateurls
  • Not working with docpad 6.80.3 docpad-plugin-dateurls#13
• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-paged
  • depends on cleanurls plugin
• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-thumbnails
• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-uglify

The following plugins I am working on fixing their tests:

• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-highlightjs

These ones were working, but now they aren't:

• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-nodesass
• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-partials
  • published, however travis tests are sporadic, it works locally though
• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-raw
• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-serve
• https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-sitemap

The following plugins I am unable to do anything about:

• docpad-plugin-copy - for bevry to update, it needs the maintainer to transfer to the docpad org and add bevryme as an npm owner, the docpad-plugin-raw could be used instead in the meantime
  • Incompatible with Current Docpad almero-digital-marketing/docpad-plugin-copy#4

You can use npm test -- --debug to have docpad-plugintester configure DocPad to the debug log level.

Rewrites to JavaScript would be great:

1. rename source files from .coffee to .js
2. run boundation on it, selecting esnext as the only language (uncheck coffeescript), this will configure all the scripts and compilation and editor etc for javascript
