Asciidoctor 1.5.0 regression?

test_rspec.rb

require "asciidoctor"
require 'asciidoctor/extensions'

Asciidoctor::Extensions.register do
  
  inline_macro do
    named :javaapi
    match /((?:java|javax)\.\w[\.\w]+\.[A-Z]\w+)/
    process do |parent, target|
      doc_uri_pattern = 'https://javaee-spec.java.net/nonav/javadocs/%s.html'
      doc_uri = doc_uri_pattern % target.gsub(/\./, '/')
      link_name = target
      link_name = $1 if target =~ /([A-Z]\w*$)/
      (create_anchor parent, link_name, type: :link, target: doc_uri, attributes: {'title' => target}).render
    end
  end
end

def render content
   Asciidoctor.render(content)
end

def verify content
   expect(content).to match /<a/ 
end

describe "Asciidoctor inline macro" do

   it "Inline macro on pure text" do
      verify render "javax.test.Api"      
   end

   it "Inline macro on code text" do
      verify render "+javax.test.Api+"
   end
end

In Asciidoctor 1.5.0 +javax.test.Api+ never trigger the maco. Nor does it output code tags for that matter.

Aha! That's because you need to refer to the migration guide :)

http://asciidoctor.org/docs/migration/#migration-cheatsheet

+ now means passthrough, not monospaced. You need to either switch it to backtick:

`javax.test.Api`

Add the compat role:

[x-]+javax.test.Api+

Or switch on compat mode globally:

:compat-mode:

Aha! :)

def render content
   Asciidoctor.render(content, :attributes => {'compat-mode' => true})
end

Back to normal..

Oh, right! That works too. I should have suggested that.

Btw, you can just set a value of empty string to mean true...though that's one of the things we need to cleanup in Asciidoctor because that's a legacy hold-over from AsciiDoc Python. Why true and false aren't true and false is beyond me :)
