Closes #1221

Add a get_task_documents method to retrieve the documents processed by a task via GET /tasks/{uid}/documents (introduced in Meilisearch 1.13.0).

  • TaskHandler.get_task_documents(uid, parameters=None) returns a paginated DocumentsResults (reusing the existing model) with results, offset, limit, and total.
  • Client.get_task_documents(uid, parameters=None) delegates to the task handler.
  • Supports limit/offset/fields pagination parameters via query string.
  • Added the get_task_documents_1 code sample (matching the documentation) and unit tests covering URL construction with and without parameters plus result parsing.

AI usage disclosure: This contribution was written with AI assistance (Claude). The author has reviewed and verified the changes; the AI drafted the method implementation, delegation, code sample, and unit tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Retrieve documents produced by a task, with support for paginated results.
  • Documentation
    • Added a code sample demonstrating how to retrieve documents for a task.

Expose the GET /tasks/{uid}/documents route via TaskHandler and Client,
returning a paginated DocumentsResults. Also add a code sample and unit
tests for the URL construction and result parsing.

Closes meilisearch#1221

Walkthrough

Adds a client method to retrieve documents processed by a task. The method accepts optional query parameters, and the task handler returns the response as a DocumentsResults object.

Changes: Task document retrieval

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retrieve documents for a task
meilisearch/task.py, meilisearch/client.py, tests/models/test_task_documents.py, .code-samples.meilisearch.yaml
The task handler requests /tasks/{uid}/documents and wraps the response in DocumentsResults. The client exposes the method. Tests cover response fields and pagination parameters. The sample calls client.get_task_documents(1).

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 266a1

The new task-document retrieval method fails on ordinary task document responses. Correct NDJSON handling, align the public interface, and test realistic response bodies before merging.

Explanation

Direct issue #1221 is open and has three coding objectives. TaskHandler.get_task_documents calls GET tasks/{uid}/documents and returns DocumentsResults. Client.get_task_documents delegates to the task handler. The added tests verify the request without parameters, query parameters, and parsed pagination results. The get_task_documents_1 sample calls client.get_task_documents(1).

Major · Data Integrity & Integration · Heavy lift

get_task_documents cannot decode the NDJSON response of GET /tasks/{uid}/documents.

The endpoint returns the raw task documents file as application/x-ndjson. HttpRequests.get parses every non-empty body with request.json(). For a task with uploaded documents, that call fails:

  • Two or more lines raise a JSON decoding error.
  • One line parses as a document object without results, so DocumentsResults.__init__ raises KeyError.

Add a raw-body or streaming GET path that parses each non-empty line as a document. Change the return annotation of TaskHandler.get_task_documents in meilisearch/task.py and of Client.get_task_documents in meilisearch/client.py to match. Remove the parameters argument and its documented limit, offset, and fields options, because the endpoint reads no query parameters.

The mocked tests in tests/models/test_task_documents.py return a paginated dict. Replace them with tests that use NDJSON response bodies.
