using sphinx-book-theme-1.0.0 requires repository_provider

[kbucheli]

Building the Jupyter Book as HTML newly requires a repository_provider to add GitLab-Buttons.
How to add that? The documentation misses such a setting.

Our configuration is

...
repository:
  url: https://git.psi.ch/linux-infra/documentation
  branch: master

# Add GitLab buttons
html:
  use_issues_button: true
  use_repository_button: true

which then causes

Sphinx error:
Provider not recognized in repository url https://git.psi.ch/linux-infra/documentation. If you're using a custom provider URL, specify `repository_provider`
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise SphinxError(
sphinx.errors.SphinxError: Provider not recognized in repository url https://git.psi.ch/linux-infra/documentation. If you're using a custom provider URL, specify `repository_provider`

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/jupyter-book", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 829, in __call__

    raise RuntimeError(_message_box(msg, color="red", doprint=False)) from result

This worked before the release v0.15.0.

Versions:

• jupyter-book-0.15.0

This is also an issue when using a URL for a GitHub organisation (e.g. see the build error here).

This arises from this line in header_buttons/_init_.py.

For example, for my repo:

repo_url = "https://quantitative-environmental-science.github.io/Notes/"

provider_url, org, repo = repo_url.strip("/").rsplit("/", 2)

provider_url

> 'https:/'

Which is invalid.

Happy to specify repository_provider, as noted in the error message, but it's not clear where this goes in _config.yml. Have tried all combinations of:

repository:
  repository_provider: github
  provider: github

html:
  repository_provider: github
  provider: github

None worked...

Just did some more digging into the issue, since we encountered it as well.

I took a look at the opts we receive here: https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-book-theme/blob/6601a2ff1e5a5d51d784f1e6cafd4ed11cb38c4f/src/sphinx_book_theme/header_buttons/__init__.py#L141

when trying out all of the following:

repository:
  repository_provider: github
  provider: github

html:
  repository_provider: github
  provider: github

No matter what I try, provider never ends up as a key in there.
Instead, these are the available keys in opts: ['search_bar_text', 'launch_buttons', 'path_to_docs', 'repository_url', 'repository_branch', 'extra_footer', 'home_page_in_toc', 'announcement', 'analytics', 'use_repository_button', 'use_edit_page_button', 'use_issues_button']

The underlying _get_theme_options seems to be this: https://github.com/pydata/pydata-sphinx-theme/blob/main/src/pydata_sphinx_theme/__init__.py#L35
And both possible return values app.builder.theme_options and app.config.html_theme_options lack any trace of a provider.

Note however, the repository_url is correctly set to the url specified in the config.

To explain what's going on here, Jupyter Book's repository section is manually mapped onto the Sphinx configuration html_theme_options. As we don't currently handle the provider options, you'd need to set them using the Sphinx escape hatch (which I've not tested):

sphinx:
  recursive_update: true
  config:
    html_theme_options:
      repository_provider: custom      

The recursive update just means that we don't clobber the existing settings. This maps onto the settings in this section: https://sphinx-book-theme.readthedocs.io/en/stable/components/source-files.html#manually-specify-the-provider

Seems to work. Is there any chance this will be integrated in the yaml_to_sphinx function and therefore in the _config.yml. ? At least, it should be added in the documentation.

sphinx:
  recursive_update: true
  config:
    html_theme_options:
      repository_provider: custom

I got it working by specifying repository_url as well.
Since we have a github enterprise, I have changed repository_provider to github

[Australopiticus]

the following worked for me (using a custom gitlab repository)

in the config.yml file:

sphinx:
  recursive_update: true
    config:
      html_theme_options:
        repository_provider: https://my.provider.com
      html_context:
        gitlab_url: https://my.provider.com/my
        gitlab_repo: repository
        gitlab_user: ""
        gitlab_version: main
        doc_path: source

repository:
  url: https://my.provider.com/my/repository

It' basically the same as agoose77 proposed, but I also had to set the html_context otherwise I would get

Missing required value for `use_edit_page_button`. Ensure one set of the following in your `html_context` configuration: [('bitbucket_user', 'bitbucket_repo', 'bitbucket_version'), ('github_user', 'github_repo', 'github_version'), ('gitlab_user', 'gitlab_repo', 'gitlab_version')]
