Proposed change

Resolves #3732 by adding an {all} placeholder to the holidays-ics --output-template option.

The {all} placeholder expands to the current default output filename without the .ics extension, allowing users to add a custom prefix or suffix without having to duplicate the default filename structure.

For example:

holidays-ics US --years +10 --categories unofficial --output-template "HOLIDAYS_{all}.ics"

Testing

  • python -m pytest tests/test_generate_ics.py — 47 passed
  • python -m pytest — 7946 passed
  • git diff --check — passed

Type of change

  • New country/market holidays support (thank you!)
  • Supported country/market holidays update (calendar discrepancy fix, localization)
  • Existing code quality improvement (best practice, cleanup, refactoring, optimization)
  • Documentation update
  • Test suite update
  • Development process update (CI, release workflows, project configuration, internal tooling)
  • Dependency update (version deprecation/pin/upgrade)
  • Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Breaking change (a code change causing existing functionality to break)
  • New feature (new holidays functionality in general)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added the {all} output-template placeholder, combining holiday code, year range, and category details into a single value.
    • Updated the 10-year holiday calendar example to use the new placeholder.
    • Added {all} to CLI help for available output-template placeholders.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Output-template validation now recognizes {all} as supported and includes it in guidance for invalid placeholders.

Walkthrough

The generator now supports the {all} output-template placeholder. Tests verify filename generation and supported-placeholder output. The example command uses {all} instead of four individual placeholders.

Changes

Output template placeholder

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add and validate the {all} placeholder
holidays/generate_ics.py, tests/test_generate_ics.py, docs/examples.md
The generator documents and computes {all} from the default filename. Tests verify filename generation and error output. The example uses HOLIDAYS_{all}.ics.

Users consulting the placeholder table may not discover the new {all} option; the feature otherwise remains functional.

Confidence score: 5/5

  • In docs/examples.md, the explicit-placeholder example orders fields differently from {all} and get_default_output_template(), which could confuse users about generated output; align the example with the default order or clarify the distinction.
  • In docs/examples.md, the supported-placeholders table omits {all}, reducing discoverability of the available shorthand; add {all} to the table with its expansion documented.
