on Jan 10, 2023 Hey @ashb, thanks for opening this issue.
I'm not too familiar with how this works for when it 301's - are there any issues you're running into? Or do you simply just want to know if there's a direct link you can use for
cloud.google.com/equivalent for thegoogleapis.dev/links?I might not be able to get to having
objects.invfiles on cloud.google.com directories, so if you can let me know as much info as possible (issues you're running into, if you're blocked, if there's no alternatives) please let me know as you won't be the only one getting affected by this.The issue is specifically that objects.inv (a binary file created as part of the sphinx build process) is not available anywhere.
This file let's us link to a class in these libraries from the Airflow docs by name, without having to know the exact URL or worry if it moves slightly version to version, or if the page it is documented on changes.
Ah, I see what the problem is.
If we get
https://googleapis.dev/python/storage/latest/objects.invto be available again, would that work even though we'll be redirecting the content forgoogleapis.dev/python/$package/latesttocloud.google.com/python/docs/reference/$package/latest? Or do you needobjects.invto be available for the local reference for this to work?I think it can 301 as long as it 301s to the actual inv file again. (The problem now is it 301s to a generic docs page instead of the actual inv file). The inv file is used by the sphinx build process of airflow to properly link to google cloud docs
Thank you! I'll try and work on having
googleapis.dev/python/$package/latest/objects.invfiles be available ASAP. I'll update once that's done.As per
cloud.google.com/python/docs/reference/$package/latest/objecs.inv- that will take some more time. I might try and redirect them to thegoogleapis.devone in the meantime, but I'll try to figure out a more permanent solution that makes sense.- addedpriority: p1Important issue which blocks shipping the next release.

on Jan 10, 2023 Having the 301 be right would be nice, but having it available anywhere is good enough to fix our CI pipeline

Keep fingers crossed.
Hi folks, sorry for the delay. While the documentation has been redirected, the original
objects.invfiles have been restored and will continue to exist in the original location and not near thecloud.google.comdomain for now. Should things change, updates will be sent out to let you know where they can be found.Reacted by Andrey AnshinReacted by Andrey AnshinReacted by Andrey Anshin7 remaining items

The newly published docs site for the python libraries does not contain the
objects.invanymore which makes it hard nicely link to it form downstream projects.For example,
https://googleapis.dev/python/storage/latest/objects.invused to exist, but that now 301s tohttps://cloud.google.com/python/docs/reference/storage/latest/index.htmland I wasn't able to guess at a working URL on thatcloud.google.com/python/docs/site that has anobjects.inv?Is this file available anymore? Can it be brought back if it is not currently?
