jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'current_page' is undefined

[ghost]

I am using your mkdocs theme in my mkdcos project, and when i run this it shows following error:

jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'current_page' is undefined.

I think code for this is in toc.html file in mkdocs theme.

[d0ugal]

Interesting, this is odd. I can't see how this would happen.

Have you done anything to customise the theme? Are you using mkdocs 0.11.1?

I can also reproduce this with the following steps:

• Copy the readthedocs theme into the root of the project directory
• rename readthedocs to mytheme
• add theme_dir: 'mytheme' to the yml config
• run mkdocs build

The workaround is to delete the offending file (breadcrumbs.html) and use it in conjunction with theme: readthedocs in the yml file.

Yes I am using mkdocs 0.11.1 and I didn't done anything to customize the theme. I just copy the readthedocs theme to the root, set theme_dir: 'readthedocs' in yml config. and when I run it locally it gives the error of current_page is undefined.

Suggestion from Ianalexander is working, but i don't want to build it to static content. I want to publish it as python app.
Because when i build it every static html page contains whole customize footer code.

I experience the same problem, also switching theme, for example copying spacelab or cyborg will result in 'meta' is undefined errors. (version 0.11.1 here)

[manuelbua]

Uh! I found out a workaround: by forcing theme: "" as well as specifying the theme_dir parameter will work fine!

[d0ugal]

Interesting. This should be fixed by #244 then.

[manuelbua]

@d0ugal, yes this fixes this issue's problem and the other one where the build command copy all themes and everything (happens if theme: "" is specified as a workaround): i applied the fix for #244 and i could remove the workaround just fine, thanks!

Patch: #244 seems not to help for this case

[d0ugal]

@peter1000 Can you report that as a new issue? Seems to be a different problem.

[peter1000]

Done

[d0ugal]

I believe this is now fixed in the latest master, please let me know if it isn't.

[gsouf]

Getting the issue with 0.15.3 (the one I grabbed from pip) and @manuelbua workarround (theme: "") does not work:

INFO    -  Building documentation... 
ERROR   -  Config value: 'theme'. Error: Unrecognised theme ''. The available installed themesare:  

Aborted with 1 Configuration Errors!

@gsouf I would suggest you open a new issue. The related code is completely different today than when this issue was opened. The discussion here is no longer relevant in any way. In your new issue, be sure to include the minimal steps to reproduce the error.
