Pydpf commands html

In some of the pdf docs we received the following images:
How can I get this html documentation with code snippets?

Use this code to generate the DPF doc in .html format from Mechanical:

import mech_dpf
import Ans.DataProcessing as dpf
my_output_path = (r"D:\Test\Resources")
op = dpf.operators.utility.html_doc()
op.inputs.output_path.Connect(my_output_path)
op.Run()

Indeed this is another place you can get the documentation. However this link is the one to the PyDPF documentation, so you will only see the CPython example of usage.

Thank you for this commands.

I see similar code snippets and manual from here:

Hi, I am running the equivalent html documentation in Cpython on linux:

from ansys.dpf import core as dpf
my_output_path = ('/linux/path/to/my/documentation/')
op = dpf.operators.utility.html_doc() #operator instantiation
op.inputs.output_path.connect(my_output_path)
op.run()

I receive the following error (resulting from op.run() line):
ansys.dpf.gate.errors.DPFServerException: html_doc:0<-basic_string::replace: __pos (which is 18446744073709551615) > this->size() (which is 0)

Something could be incorrect in the path definition. Could you try without providing a path ? The default will be working directory.

Run from the following lines:
op = dpf.operators.utility.html_doc() #operator instantiation

op.inputs.output_path.connect() # Tried with and without commenting this line

op.run()

Created the following error message:

File ".../python3.9/site-packages/ansys/dpf/core/dpf_operator.py", line 645, in run

It does create dataProcessingDoc.html with 0 KB.

This looks like a bug. Could you please report it by creating an issue here? https://github.com/ansys/pydpf-core/issues Thank you

Noted. Thanks!
