Parser to extract function names from openQA lib/ functions - improve perl skills
a project by jorauch
Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.

Since there is no real documentation about openQA's lib/ functions I wanted to kill two birds with one stone and write a parser in perl that extracts all function names (and maybe preceding comments) in said directory and improve my perl knowledge by doing this.

Possible additions:

  • use the script to setup some fancy online documentation

  • automatically trigger a refresh when one of the files is changed

  • create doxygen-like call graphs

Done in Hackweek 0x10:

  • Parser that collects all functions in the lib folder (still hardcoded) and the according comments

  • generating a JSON from this information

TODO for future:

  • make it more flexible

  • create HTML from JSON

  • ?

      Nice idea. You might want to take a look into the way that openQA does it: https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/blob/master/script/generate-documentation

      I recommend you take a look into https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html and https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/blob/master/Makefile.am#L129 as well
