Rocco ignores JS code/comments

[jm3]

Is Javascript not one of the languages Rocco will generate docs for? Test run with two trivial example files:

$ cat javascript.js  
/* something */
function f() {
  // a comment
  alert( "hi" );
}   

$ cat ruby.rb 
module SpanishHarlem
  # purple drank
  def meth_od(code)
    puts "sup"
  end 

  # stuff
  puts "yo"
end 

$ bundle exec rocco ruby.rb javascript.js  
WARNING: Pygments not found. Using webservice.
pygmentize not in PATH; using pygments.appspot.com instead
rocco: ruby.rb -> ruby.html
rocco: javascript.js -> javascript.html

$ open ruby.html javascript.html

RESULT: generated HTML for ruby file looks fine, generated HTML for js file = no code / comments

It should work with anything supported by pygments. Perhaps it's something with the webservice. Mind installing pygments locally and giving that shot?

[jm3]

Ah, ok, will get a local pygmentization going.

Any recommended way for me to simply test the web service for parsing JS, first?

@jm3 Rocco doesn't detect input file language without pygments installed locally:

  def detect_language
    @_language ||=
      if pygmentize?
        %x[pygmentize -N #{@file}].strip.split('+').first
      else
        "text"
      end
  end

I suggest (forgotten-labors/rocco@13b7975) a basic language detection, since some of defined code styles has keys similar to file extensions.

It did indeed work with a local pygments install [1]. If there's anything I can do here to help test / verify / document the above, please let me know!

@jm3 You still can generate documentation without pygments installed locally. Just pass the --language option to rocco:

$ bundle exec rocco --language=js javascript.js

or

$ bundle exec rocco -l js javascript.js
