Errors compiling documentation locally

[tabedzki]

Steps to reproduce (Python 3.12.4):

1. gh repo clone spikeinterface/spikeinterface && cd spikeinterface
2. uv venv && . .venv/bin/activate && uv pip install -e '.[dev]'
3. sphinx-build -b html doc ./doc/_build/

Error 1:

Running Sphinx v8.0.2
loading translations [en]... done

Extension error:
Could not import extension sphinxcontrib.jquery (exception: No module named 'sphinxcontrib.jquery')

Steps to remediate:

1. Add sphinxcontrib.jquery to the docs list within pyproject.toml around line 185
2. uv pip install -e '.[dev]' --no-cache

Re-running sphinx-build

Error/Warning Stack (edit: some of the original warnings I posted were removed by installing git annex. Is there a way to denote git-annex needs to be installed for the pip install -e '.[dev]'?):

The development docs explain you have to have datalad and git-annex. They are so OS specific we can't automate it at this point,

[tabedzki]

Quite possibly a PEBKAC situation issue on my end: when reading the "How to build the Documentation", it didn't specify that I needed the other installations after doing pip install -e '.[dev]' to build the documentation, so I just did a naive installation. Thanks for pointing out what I missed.

[zm711]

I think it is useful for us to know though if people are missing it. We likely need to guide the reader to all the sections in a better way. Thanks for letting us know that the flow isn't necessarily intuitive!

[tabedzki]

Since datalad has a universal installer, is it safe to use that as part of the installation? What might be some reasons not to include it?

pip install datalad-installer
datalad-installer git-annex -m datalad/packages
pip install datalad

[zm711]

It's not quite that simple. You can look at our CI action that does this for all OSes. (@h-mayorquin got it working so he can comment more!) He originally had all of this in the docs, but we had some versioning issues before the hackathon, so I removed it, but I think he found a new way to install so maybe we put it back into the docs? Not sure.

[chrishalcrow]

Hello,

I can't reproduce the error with sphinxcontrib.jquery. It's a dependency of sphinx_rtd_theme so, for me, gets installed with that. What OS are you using? And what version of sphinx_rtd_theme is installed?

I do agree with the PR though - seems like a bad idea to rely on a theme package to install a package required for the docs search.

[tabedzki]

I am using Python 3.12.4 and the neofetch results are below. I did not install the package separately from the spikeinterface installation process. I created a new venv to install spikeinterface.

If we need a minimum of 1.2 for sphinx-rtd-theme, I think we should pin a minimum version into pyproject.toml to ensure that it gets install along with the jquery module.

After specifying the package minimum version locally, I was able to build the documentation but I got the following errors:

I think specifying the minimum sphinx-rtd-theme is the better move. Their official rec is to actually pin your docs to a specific version. So I think adding in minimums is a step in the right direction and will help new developers that want to build locally not run into an issue like this!

[zm711]

I don't see errors. I see warnings. Unfortunately the warnings typically build up because we are all a bit lax on confirming any code changes don't generate warnings. So Alessio has cleaned up the warnings once. I cleaned up the warnings once (with a big assist from Alessio), and I think Chris did a cleanup once. So it's just something we do every once in a while.

[tabedzki]

It's one error but not one that prevents compilation.

/Users/ct5868/code/spikeinterface/src/spikeinterface/sortingcomponents/motion/motion_utils.py:docstring of spikeinterface.sortingcomponents.motion.motion_utils.Motion:11: ERROR: Unexpected indentation.

I've gone ahead and added the minimum version for sphinx-rtd-theme over in #3307

[zm711]

Those are a pain to fix. RTD/Sphinx expects very rigid indentation in docstrings. and since we do some docstring injection it can be hard to trackdown where the issue actually is. This once looks pretty clear, but it's not always. I think Chris's project with the numpydoc will hopefully help us prevent those in the future, but he's in the process of cleaning up all the docs so the linter doesn't explode. I doubt it would become an official linter, but we could always put it in the developer docs to run the linter to try to encourage good behavior moving foward.
