Previously, generating documentation with
--doc-versionfor an already-existing version always threwDuplicateDocVersionNameException— there was no way to update/overwrite a version snapshot.Changes
DocVersionManager: AddedforceCreateparameter. Whentrueand the version already exists, removes it fromversions.jsonand deletes its directory before regenerating.RazorTemplateProcessor: AddedforceCreatefield; passes it toDocVersionManager. Reordered initialization soDocVersionManageris created before the version directory (enabling cleanup before recreation).DefaultTemplateProcessor/Program.cs: ThreadsforceCreatethrough from config to the template processor stack.Usage
Tests
Added
DocVersionManagerTestswith unit tests covering: exception on duplicate withoutforceCreate, no exception withforceCreate, old directory deletion, and version list cleanup.Original prompt
