Error: "KeyError(<LooseVersion('v0.8.2')>) does not exist" when I'm pretty sure the tag/release/branch exist

[swcurran]

Summary

I have a repo with a branch per Release of an open source project's documentation, and am using Mike to handle the versioning. My process is the same for each release:

• create a branch for the release, e.g. 0.8.1, 0.8.2
• create a release with a tag for each release pointing to the branch, e.g. v0.8.1, v0.8.2
• use a GHA to (re)generate the docs version for the newly tagged release.

When I create the current version (0.8.2), I get the following error on the Mike deploy (mike deploy --push --update-aliases $VERSION $ALIAS), with $VERSION and $ALIAS confirmed to be v0.8.2 and 0.8.2.

error: version KeyError(<LooseVersion('v0.8.2')>) does not exist

From what I can see the tag and branch exist as expected, same as 0.8.1 and I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

Configuration and Logs

GHA Links for the failed 0.8.2 and passing 0.8.1

• Repository: https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-acapy-docs
• Platform: Github Actions
• mike version: latest
• Commit generated by mike: See GHA output
• CI configuration: https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-acapy-docs/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml
• CI logs: See above.

Steps to Reproduce

Process to trigger GHA listed above -- same steps run several to confirm identical between the last two versions of the docs.

mike delete will fail if the version you specify doesn't exist (edit: "exist" here means that the docs for that version are actually deployed, i.e. that it's in versions.json and shows up in mike list). Is there a reason you need to delete it before redeploying?

The only difference between mike deploy $VERSION and mike delete $VERSION; mike deploy $VERSION is that the former would erase any aliases that $VERSION previously had, but it's pretty rare that you'd need to do that.

(There's also the related issue that it's printing the error message in a funny way, but that's just a display bug.)

Thank you!!! That was a thing I added (but didn’t remove) when I last asked a question about this.

Sorry about that! Much appreciated.
