error running dartdoc

[d2m]

is this working for you, because running dartdoc on itself or other packages gets me an error

Thanks for the report! We should probably have a test for this... running dartdoc on itself seems like a reasonable goal :)

[keertip]

Fixed exceptions. Unfortunately, using pub run vs. the VM exhibits different behavior when running dartdoc. So even with the fix, running dartdoc with pub run does not work. Works running it with the VM.

[d2m]

Thanks for the fix. Want to say that DART_SDK needs to be set or --dart-sdk passed as an option if running with the VM.

[sethladd]

@keertip do you know why dartdoc requires an explicitly set location for the SDK?

[keertip]

dartdoc does not need location of SDK. Maybe the DART_SDK is used here to set path to the vm?

[devoncarew]

The analyzer library we're using needs to be able to locate the dart: sources.

[keertip]

Yes, that is true, but specifying sdk location is not required. It will still generate docs for package.

[sethladd]

How do I use --dart-sdk? Added it to the command line throws an error:

sethladd@sethladd-macbookair ~/Code/dart-uuid (master)$ dart ../dartdoc/bin/dartdoc.dart --dart-sdk=~/homebrew/Cellar/dart/1.8.3/libexec/
Unhandled exception:
FormatException: Could not find an option named "dart-sdk".

[keertip]

Currently there is no option for passing the sdk location. Just run

dart ../dartdoc/bin/dartdoc.dart
