Pdoc exits with 0 although documentation generation partially failed

[lovetheguitar]

Problem Description

When documenting a package and a module fails to be documented because of a missing/broken import, pdoc exits with 0.
IMHO pdoc should exit != 0, although partial documentation is generated.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Setup

pdoc_poc/
├── __init__.py
├── pdoc_fail.py
└── pdoc_success.py

__init__.py (empty)

pdoc_fail.py

"""This aint gonna work..."""

import non_existant_module

pdoc_success.py

"""
Thanks for developing pdoc... its really cool!
"""

1. call pdoc pdoc_poc -o poc_html
2. check error code echo $LASTEXITCODE -> 0

System Information

pdoc: 12.0.1
Python: 3.8.10
Platform: Windows-10-10.0.19042-SP0

Thanks for raising this and sorry for the slow reply! :)

I think I agree that silently swallowing an error isn't good here, we should get this fixed. In the meantime, you can specify PYTHONWARNINGS as a workaround:

PYTHONWARNINGS=error pdoc pdoc_poc -o poc_html

Hope this helps! :)

This has been fixed in cdce38f. :)
