Update - Repo archived

The code and logic in this repo has done it's job, and successfully scraped the legacy HTML content, resulting in structured DITA.

After approaching 18 months of development, the code was run once "for real", and will now be archived.

LegacyMan

Legacy content for Field Service Manual, a digital twin that we are going to develop against.

See the original mock data here.

Initial Setup

Install dependencies

Python dependencies are specified in requirements.txt in the project root directory.

Install these automatically using the below pip command from the same directory.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running tests

Execute the following command from the project root directory to run the tests.

python -m unittest discover

Running LegacyMan parser program (against mock data)

Execute the following command from the project root directory to run program. The test_payload_for_parsed_json is optional parameter.

Install DITA-OT

  1. Check if DITA-OT is already installed by running the command below

     dita --version
  2. If the dita command is not found, then you need to download and install the latest version of DITA-OT from the official website.

  3. Once you have downloaded and extracted the package to a directory on your system, you can add the DITA-OT/bin directory to your PATH variable by adding the following line to your .bash_profile file:

    export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/DITA-OT/bin

    Replace /path/to/DITA-OT with the actual path to your DITA-OT installation directory. After saving the file, you'll need to reload your .bash_profile file by running the following command:

    source ~/.bash_profile
  4. Test that DITA-OT is installed correctly by running the dita --version command in your terminal. If the command returns a version number, then DITA-OT is installed and configured correctly. You can now use the dita command in your terminal to perform various DITA-related tasks.

Run the parser

python parser/lman_parser.py data

There are a number of arguments that can be passed to the parser script. Run with --help to see them:

python parser/lman_parser.py --help
usage: lman_parser.py [OPTION] DATA_PATH [LOGGING_LEVEL]

positional arguments:
  DATA_PATH             Path to the source data
  LOGGING_LEVEL         Debug level - must be one of debug, warning or info

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --skip-first-run, --no-skip-first-run
                        Skip Run 1, loading the shopping list from the link_tracker.json file
  --warn-on-blank-runs, --no-warn-on-blank-runs
                        Print warning messages whenever runs of blank paragraphs are found
  --run-validation, --no-run-validation
                        Run the DITA validation step

These allow you to skip the first run, warn about sequences of blank paragraphs or run the DITA validation.

There is a separate script to run the parser for a single file. Run:

python parser/parse_single_file.py INPUT_FOLDER SINGLE_FILE LOGGING_LEVEL

The only extra parameter is the SINGLE_FILE which should be the path to the individual file you want to process. For example:

python parser/parse_single_file.py data /home/LegacyMan/data/Britain_Cmplx/Phase_F.html debug

will process Phase_F.html, with debug logging

Running LegacyMan parser program (against REAL data)

Apply the version controlled (checked into Git) HTML discrepancy corrections available at client site. Checking out the applicable branch and replacing the files in the project location should do.

Execute the following command from the project root directory to run program. The test_payload_for_parsed_json is optional parameter.

The < data directory > placeholder is to be replaced by a valid path containing the following directories:

From tests, an absolute path c:\real_data works more reliably than using a relative path ..\..\real_data.


python parser\lman_parser.py < data directory > < target directory >

Running the file checker

We have also developed a checking script that will search for content in files in the source directory and check that it appears in content in the target directory. Each 'chunk' of content is a bit of plain text (ie. no tags in the middle of it) that is at least 40 characters long.

To run the file checker run:

python parser/check_files.py --help

This will show this help text:

usage: check_files.py [OPTION] SOURCE_PATH TARGET_PATH

positional arguments:
  SOURCE_PATH    Path to the source data
  TARGET_PATH    Path to the target (converted) data

options:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  --files FILES  Either an integer, to process that number of random files, or 'all' to process all files (default: 5)
  --text TEXT    Either an integer, to read that number of random text strings from each file or 'all' to read all valid text strings from the file (default: 10)

Running with just the path to the source and target files will check 10 chunks of text each from 5 files. These numbers can be adjusted by setting the --files and --text parameters, and the checking can be run on all chunks of text in all files by passing --files all --text all.
