AttributeError. Don't need a cover page.

[D34m0nN0n3]

Good day!

It is necessary to generate PDF without cover, but an error occurs: AttributeError: 'Options' object has no attribute '_cover_title' How can I fix it?

Site config mkdocs.yml:

  - with-pdf:
      cover: false
      back_cover: false
      headless_chrome_path: headless-chromium
      output_path: document.pdf
      debug_html: true
      verbose: true

Log:

Have you found any workarounds?

Just a guess, but could it be due to different versions of Python? I will try downgrading

The problem is that self._cover_title in Options.py gets only defined if self.cover=true, but it is always read in line 28 of the init file. So if you configure cover: false in your mkdocs.yml, the init file attempts to read a non existing property.

In order to resolve this issue, one could either always define self._cover_title in Options.py regardless of self.cover:

# Cover
self.cover = local_config['cover']
self.back_cover = local_config['back_cover']
+ self._cover_title = None
if self.cover or self.back_cover:
    self._cover_title = local_config['cover_title'] \
        if local_config['cover_title'] else config['site_name']
    self._cover_subtitle = local_config['cover_subtitle']
    self._cover_logo = local_config['cover_logo']

Or remove the if-statement underneath altogether. The plugin works just fine if cover properties are defined but the cover is invisible.

Also seeing this. Using mkdocs 1.5.3 and mkdocs-with-pdf 0.9.3. My config looks like:

site_name: My Docs
plugins:
  - with-pdf:
      cover: false

Running mkdocs build produces the error "AttributeError: 'Options' object has no attribute '_cover_title'. Did you mean: 'cover_title'?".

I created a venv with python3 -m venv venv and activated with source ./venv/bin/activate. I can confirm that modifying venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/mkdocs_with_pdf/options.py as suggested by https://github.com/orzih/mkdocs-with-pdf/issues/80#issuecomment-1508444386 allows mkdocs build to build succesfully when cover: false.

Obviously, manually patching this file isn't a great solution, maybe someone can put up a PR if one doesn't already exist.
