When switched to old docs, there is no banner to suggest stable

[psobolewskiPhD]

🐛 Bug

Go to:
https://napari.org/0.5.4/index.html

See no banner at the top for link to stable
(it works for dev docs)

It's worse 😢

0.5.3 thinks it is stable

I think something went wrong with those docs deployments and/or the unstable pages maybe. I will have to investigate further but can confirm this somehow crept in.

@melissawm I think you have an old commit, the homepage doesn't look like that any more, and live is stable at 0.6.2

[psobolewskiPhD]

Yeah I can't reproduce with live napari.org:
If I select 0.5.3 from the menu, let it load, and then return to the menu, everything does look correct

But the banner is the Chat one and not a version warning. I wonder if there can only be one banner and the custom one is blocking the version one?
Edit:
nope! 0.5.6 has no banner:
https://napari.org/0.5.6/usage.html

Ooohh weird! Must have been some cache... ok that's hopefully easier then. Will check

Reopening since I'm not fully satisfied with the results. I really want the same behavior as the pydata sphinx theme docs.

Going to look at our napari sphinx theme and see if there are differences there.

Alas, I still don't see warnings on the old versions. But I also don't see 0.6.3 in the switcher 👀

Haven't switcheroo'd yet, but I would expect the banner yeah

I spent some time last night looking at our theme and pydata sphinx theme as well as other projects. We're not the only ones that have had issues with it. Some disable it completely. I will continue to poke at it and see if we can make it more predictable. It really bugs me that I haven't been able to isolate why the 0.5 release has stable listed.

Which repos touch the "docs to website" build and deployment chain that might affect the version or the version json file:

• docs
• napari-sphinx-theme (derived from pydata-sphinx-theme)
• napari
• napari.github.io
• packaging?
• napari-release-tools?

Which repo has the source of truth files that are displayed by the napari.org production webserver?

My next step is to pull down gh-pages from napari.github.io and run a local dev server with it so I can inspect the behavior.

I'm pretty sure this is napari.github.io
