How To Generate CloudStack API Documentation

Install NonOSS Dependencies

$ cd /tmp
$ git clone https://github.com/rhtyd/cloudstack-nonoss.git nonoss
$ cd nonoss && bash -x install-non-oss.sh

Build API doc

$ cd /path/to/cloudstack
$ git fetch <upstream>
$ git checkout master
$ git checkout <release_commit>
$ mvn -Pdeveloper -Dnoredist clean install -DskipTests=true
$ mvn -Pdeveloper -Dnoredist clean install -pl :cloud-apidoc

Generate Diff

$ cd /path/to/cloudstack
$ export COMMANDS=/path/to/acs-api-commands
$ export OLD_RELEASE=4.13
$ export NEW_RELEASE=4.14
$ cp tools/apidoc/target/commands.xml $COMMANDS/${NEW_RELEASE}_commands.xml
$ mkdir $COMMANDS/diff-${OLD_RELEASE//.}-${NEW_RELEASE//.}
$ java -cp $HOME/.m2/repository/com/thoughtworks/xstream/xstream/1.4.11.1/xstream-1.4.11.1.jar:$HOME/.m2/repository/com/google/code/gson/gson/1.7.2/gson-1.7.2.jar:server/target/classes com.cloud.api.doc.ApiXmlDocReader -old $COMMANDS/${OLD_RELEASE}_commands.xml -new $COMMANDS/${NEW_RELEASE}_commands.xml -d $COMMANDS/diff-${OLD_RELEASE//.}-${NEW_RELEASE//.}

Note

• For easier automation (i.e. select the "OLD_RELEASE" by simply choosing a previous branch like "4.12" or 4.13")
• and
• taking into consideration that the minor release never has a new/removed API/command (and very rarely changed/updated an existing API call)
• and
• taking into the consideration that we have never so far documented API changes between minor versions (i.e. 4.11.0 and 4.11.1),
• ...
• the naming scheme, used as of 4.11, is now in X.Y form (i.e. 4.11 or 4.12) instead of minor version (4.11.0 or 4.12.0), while the older generated documentation was moved to folder "before-4.11".
