Some Warning in ASCIIDOCTOR

[hhlp]

I've had a fun of Question about this warning?

• What is this mean?
• How Can I know, What file is content the warning?
• How to trace it? I'm under container

asciidoctor: WARNING: skipping reference to missing attribute: majorosver
asciidoctor: WARNING: skipping reference to missing attribute: context

NOTE: I've had a bunch of files....

Regards.,

Hello @hhlp

It means that majorosver and context attributes are undefined. You most likely have a reference in your files {majorosver} and {context}. Since the processor can't replace the reference with the actual value, it issues a warning.

Please note that you can configure the behavior when the processor finds a reference to a missing attribute: https://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#handle-missing-or-undefined-attributes

I hope it helps 😃

How can I know, What file is content the warning?

In theory, we could add the source location on the log but it's really useful? I mean, you can already find every occurrences of the attribute using grep (or something similar).
In this case, I think what you want to know is why the attribute named majorosver is undefined but unfortunately the processor can't help you with that.

How to trace it? I'm under container

I would try to find if :majorosver: is present somewhere. Maybe you are using a file where all the attributes are defined but this file is not included?

attributes.adoc

:majorosver: 1.2.3

document.adoc

Please use {majorosver}

Since attributes.adoc is not included in document.adoc, majorosver is undefined.
And here's how to fix this issue:

attributes.adoc

:majorosver: 1.2.3

document.adoc

include::attributes.adoc[]

Please use {majorosver}

And btw, these warnings are opt in. The fact that you are getting them indicates that you have attribute-missing=warn set (or you are using Antora, which enables that setting by default).
