- Link to detailed multi-file plugin structure documentation
- Add "Before you begin" section listing required setup steps
- Add prerequisites to table of contents
- Improve progressive disclosure by front-loading essentials
- Update trigger type from "Data write" to "WAL rows" (consistent with `influxdb3 create trigger --help`) with WAL link
- Replace `--plugin` with `--path` in trigger creation example
- Fix syntax error in enable trigger example (missing backslash)
- Clarify plugin example as "data write (WAL) plugin"
- Update code comments for clarity and remove outdated notes
- Specify "wal_rows trigger specification" terminology
- Specify testing "process_writes (WAL) plugin" for clarity
- Reference multiple test commands, not just wal_plugin
- Add link to schedule_plugin test command
- Clarify that PLUGIN_FILENAME should be filename only
- Prevents path resolution errors users encountered
- Aligns documentation with current CLI behavior
- Improves Get Started guide readability and flow
- Reduces confusion about plugin file handling
Closes#588
* docs(influxdb3): Docker Compose optional plugin directory
- Added inline comments to Docker Compose examples: `# Optional: only
needed for processing engine plugins`
- Appears for both `--plugin-dir` flag and volume mount
- Helps users understand they can skip this if not using plugins
- Better progressive disclosure - users see it's optional without
needing separate explanation
* docs(influxdb3): Replace --plugin-filename with --path
- Uses `--path` for plugins, replacing deprecated `--plugin-filename`
- Replaces "Data write" with "WAL rows" to be consistent with CLI help
docs
* Update content/shared/influxdb3-get-started/processing-engine.md
* fix(deps): add missing yarn.lock updates for puppeteer
The puppeteer dependency was added to package.json in commit 784956a31
but yarn.lock was not updated, causing CI failures with --frozen-lockfile.
* chore(deps): upgrade puppeteer to 24.35.0
- Upgrade puppeteer from 23.11.1 to 24.35.0
- Fix deprecated page.waitForTimeout() - replaced with Promise/setTimeout
- Fix deprecated headless: 'new' - now just uses headless boolean
The 'new' headless mode is now the default in Puppeteer 24.
- Fix broken link to parameterized queries in time-and-timezone.md
- Remove draft: true from Core and Enterprise InfluxQL parameterized queries
- Add HTTP API examples for Core/Enterprise using /api/v3/query_sql and
/api/v3/query_influxql endpoints
- Simplify list_code_example frontmatter to use query-only format across
all SQL and InfluxQL parameterized queries pages
- Fix api-endpoint shortcode arguments to use correct method, endpoint,
and api-ref parameters
Note: PR preview URLs show broken /version/ links but they render
correctly in local Hugo testing. The link replacement logic in
layouts/partials/article/content.html processes these correctly.
Closes#6672

* feat(askai): add Kapa.ai source group filtering for InfluxDB v3
- Add ai_source_group_ids field to all InfluxDB v3 products in data/products.yml
- Add getProductSourceGroupIds() function to retrieve source group IDs from product data
- Enables filtered AI responses using Kapa source groups for documentation pages
- Follows existing pattern for dynamic product configuration
- Implement version-specific config support (__v1, __v2 suffixes)
- Append version hints to example questions for InfluxDB database products only
- Make example questions generic (remove product-specific names)
- Tools (Telegraf, Chronograf, Kapacitor, Flux, Explorer) display questions without version hints
- Pre-fills chat input with [version: /path/] for InfluxDB database products
- Users can easily edit or remove the pre-filled text
- Works for manual opens (Cmd+K) and programmatic opens
- Converts module to TypeScript
* refactor(ask-ai): change version format to 'My version: <product name>'
Use human-readable product names instead of URL paths for better UX.
Example: 'My version: InfluxDB 3 Core' instead of '[version: /influxdb3/core/]'
* fix(ask-ai): restore working Kapa.open() pre-fill implementation
- Replace textarea detection with direct Kapa.open() call
- Add Kapa preinitialization code
- Use click handler on .ask-ai-open button with capture phase
- Handle conversation reset event to re-fill version context
- Remove console logging for cleaner production code
* fix(ask-ai): remove parentheses from example questions for consistency
Make example question format match the pre-fill format:
- Before: 'question (My version: product)'
- After: 'question My version: product'
This ensures users don't think there's a difference between the two formats.
* fix(askai): add Explorer product mapping for Ask AI widget
- Add influxdb3_explorer mapping to getCurrentProductData()
- Add explorer context to getContext() function
- Ensures Explorer pages use correct ai_sample_questions from products.yml
- Reorder Explorer questions with 'install and run' first
This fixes the issue where Explorer Ask AI widget was showing wrong
example questions by properly loading the influxdb3_explorer config.
* test(page-context): add comprehensive e2e tests for product mappings
Add Cypress tests to validate page-context.js correctly identifies:
- Product context values for all InfluxDB products
- Product data from products.yml configuration
- Version information
- AI sample questions and source group IDs
- Placeholder host values
Tests cover:
- InfluxDB 3 (Core, Enterprise, Explorer, Cloud variants, Clustered)
- InfluxDB v2 and v1
- InfluxDB Cloud (TSM)
- Tools (Telegraf, Chronograf, Kapacitor, Flux)
Validates the fix for Explorer Ask AI showing correct example questions.
Related to #jts-askai-group-filters branch work.
* feat(test): add --no-mapping flag to e2e test runner
Allow running functionality tests without requiring content file paths.
The --no-mapping flag skips content-to-URL mapping, making it easier
to run tests that don't depend on specific content files.
Usage:
# With content mapping (for content-specific tests)
node run-e2e-specs.js content/influxdb3/core/_index.md
# Without content mapping (for functionality tests)
node run-e2e-specs.js --spec cypress/e2e/page-context.cy.js --no-mapping
Benefits:
- Simplifies running functionality tests like page-context.cy.js
- Reduces test startup time by skipping unnecessary file mapping
- Makes test commands clearer about their purpose
The page-context test was updated to work correctly with this flag.
* deps: update caniuse and related hook files
* test: Add a `--no-mapping` flag to run tests without specific content files (i.e., test contains all the URLs it needs)
* chore(ask-ai): Format example questions
* test(page-context): add comprehensive e2e tests for all products in products.yml
- Expanded test suite from 6 to 27 tests covering all products
- Added tests for InfluxDB 3 products (Explorer, Core, Enterprise, Cloud Serverless, Cloud Dedicated, Clustered)
- Added tests for InfluxDB v2 and Cloud (TSM)
- Added tests for InfluxDB v1 and Enterprise v1
- Added tests for other products (Telegraf, Chronograf, Kapacitor, Flux)
- Validates page mappings in page-context.js
- Validates AI sample questions configuration in products.yml
- All 27 tests passing
* fix(page-context): correct enterprise_influxdb URL pattern matching
- Changed pattern from /enterprise_v1/ to /enterprise_influxdb/
- Fixes Ask AI example questions not showing correctly for Enterprise v1
- Pattern now matches actual URL structure /enterprise_influxdb/v1/
- All 27 e2e tests passing
* test(page-context): add UI validation for Ask AI widget configuration
- Added 4 tests checking Kapa widget script data attributes
- Tests verify data-modal-example-questions contains correct product-specific questions
- Validates Explorer, Core, Enterprise, and Enterprise v1 configurations
- All 31 tests passing (27 existing + 4 new UI tests)
* feat(ask-ai): add help in Ask AI widget placeholder
- InfluxDB placeholder recommends specifying product and version
- Fix page-context.js to use products.influxdb_cloud instead of products.cloud
- Add UI tests verifying version-specific naming in Kapa widget script tags
* feat(ask-ai): Tailors placeholder for each version/product. Disables "Viewing <product>" in disclaimer note.
