Troubleshooting — Common Errors and Solutions

This document collects common problems and solutions when working with the documentation and MkDocs site.

Error: "Config value 'plugins': The 'minify' plugin is not installed"

  • Cause: The mkdocs-minify-plugin plugin is not installed in the environment.
  • Solution:
  • Install locally:

pip install mkdocs-minify-plugin
- Or remove/comment minify in mkdocs.yml if you're not ready to install it.

Asset path problems (logo, css, js)

  • Cause: Relative paths that don't exist in docs/.
  • Solution: Make sure the files referenced in mkdocs.yml exist in docs/ (for example docs/images/logo.png, docs/stylesheets/extra.css).

Mermaid problems (diagrams not rendering)

  • Cause: Syntax errors or missing plugins.
  • Solution:
  • Run the verification script (if it exists) or check the browser console.
  • Use internal/mermaid/diagramas_guia.md to review examples and internal/mermaid/tools/check_diagrams.py for automated checks.
  • Solution: Run mkdocs build and check warnings/errors. Use link checkers in CI.

Others

  • Report issues in Issues or create a PR with a fix and reference TODO.md to add new documentation tasks or posts.
