Scripts

Scripts to rule them all

This directory follows the Scripts to Rule Them All pattern:

bootstrap

Installs/updates all dependencies necessary for the docs environment. Equivalent of npm install.

---

server

Starts the local development server. Equivalent of npm start.

To keep things snappy, only English and Japanese are enabled. To run the server with all languages enabled, run script/server-all-languages

---

test

Runs tests. Equivalent of npm test.

---

Additional scripts

archive-enterprise-version.js

Run this script during the Enterprise deprecation process to download static copies of all pages for the oldest supported Enterprise version. See the Enterprise deprecation issue template for instructions.

This script copies any English files that are missing from the translations directory into the translations directory. We only need to run this if problems occur with Crowdin's automatic sync.

---

check-deps.js

This script checks which modules you have used in your code and then makes sure they are listed as dependencies in your package.json, or vice-versa

https://github.com/dependency-check-team/dependency-check

The ignore array is for client-side or build-time stuff that doesn't get require()d in the normal way.

---

check-external-links

The script is run once per day via a scheduled GitHub Action to check all links in the site. It automatically opens an issue if it finds broken links. To exclude a URL from the link check, add it to lib/excluded-links.js.

For checking internal links, see script/check-internal-links.

check-for-node

This script is run automatically when you run the server locally. It checks whether Node.js is installed.

---

reset-translated-file.js

It's intended to be a workaround to temporarily bypass Crowdin parser bugs while we wait for Crowdin to fix them.

Do not commit the .env file; just leave it in your checkout.
