No links to items in summary tables when using __init__.py imports

[raymanP]

Hi dears,
if having an module import in __init__.py the links are missing for the class.
Sphinx is showing the links correctly, .e.g. for :meth:`mymodule.myclass.mymethod` for the below example.

Example:

• mymodule/__init__.py
  from mymodule.mysubmodule import myclass

• mymodule/mysubmodule.py

class myclass():
    def mymethod(self):
        """my doc"""

• doc.rst

.. currentmodule:: mymodule.myclass

.. autoclasssumm:: myclass
    :autosummary-members:

hey @raymanP! I wonder what you get with

.. autosummary::

    myclass.mymethod

Could you please try? I wonder whether this could be related to what I observed quite some time ago in sphinx-doc/sphinx#9069

[raymanP]

hey @Chilipp! Thank you for your fast reply! This also produces an entry without a link.
I already tried all possibilities I could imagine.

Classes in the same module which are not in the __init__.py are linked correctly.

hey @raymanP! thanks for the confirmation! this is what I expected. It's an upstream issue in autosummary, sphinx-doc/sphinx#9069. It would work, if you import from mymodule.mysubmodule import myclass as _myclass, but unfortunately I do not have any other workaround. One would need to fix the upstream issue

[raymanP]

Great to know.. Thank you @Chilipp! Then I will wait for the upstream fix. :)

Then we can close this here. Have a nice day ;)
