Fix deploy-docs.yml API reference generation on CI - #9367
Merged
Conversation
The Doxygen XML for an anonymous enum's <name> is an empty element on Doxygen 1.9.8 (Ubuntu 24.04's apt package) but a synthetic "@n" string on newer releases; generate_api_reference.py only handled the latter, crashing with TypeError on CI while working fine locally against a newer local Doxygen. Handle both, and also install upstream's official 1.18.0 binary in the workflow so CI isn't stuck on the ancient distro-packaged version going forward.
