Add Sphinx 7 support #1463
Comments
|
Besides missing Sphinx 7 support, also Sphinx 6.1 isn't supported. This theme is still months behind the development of Sphinx and docutils. This is related to:
Many documentation sites are currently switching to furo, because of better theme maintenance and better feature set. |
|
@Paebbels docutils 0.18 is supported and Sphinx 6.1 is also supported. But agreed, there's also lack of maintenance for sphinx-rtd-theme. But the main reason is that the theme still hasn't reached the 2.0 roadmap milestone where a bunch of tedious legacy support is removed. |
|
Hmmm, I get lots of errors when switching to Sphinx 6.1. I'll try to investigate, but debugging Sphinx is a mess as it has no good error messages and no (good) exception handling. |
|
@Paebbels you can open an issue about Sphinx 6.1 support, sharing the error messages, and we can see if it's a real issue or not 👍 |
ERROR: Cannot install -r docs/requirements.txt (line 2) and sphinx==7.0.1 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.
The conflict is caused by:
The user requested sphinx==7.0.1
sphinx-rtd-theme 1.2.1 depends on sphinx<7 and >=1.6
To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict |
|
We'll probably give this a little more time to simmer and receive some more feedback. But I suspect we won't hit any major blocking issues besides issues around lack of docutils 0.19+ support. Perhaps later this week or next Tues we can aim for the full release. |
Cool. That would be great. We have some high hopes because there seem to be improvements (apparently - looking at Github Issues) that Sphinx 7 has when it comes to error messages. We have rather extensive documentation coming from various sources (docstring/rst files/jinja pre-processed .rst files and so on) and it's often trial-and-error for some of the changes from our users to figure out what's wrong with their docs (especially about empty lines and indentations). Apparently Sphinx 7 has at least some of it improved. I remember loosing hours on trying to bi-sect the change and narrow it down to some parts to see which one caused problems with Sphinx we were limited to. I even kept on saying to our contributtors " Well It's a known fact that Sphinxes speak riddles - you just need to figure it out" 😄 |

We started a preview with the release candidate and sphinx 7. Everything is looking good on our side! hetznercloud/hcloud-python#211 |
Currently docs building is broken because of readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#1463. Let's use the latest available to fix docs building now.
Update Sphinx and docleaf. Note that Sphinx 7 is not an option because rtd_theme requires <= 6 (see readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#1463). Signed-off-by: Gerard Marull-Paretas <gerard.marull@nordicsemi.no>
* Update lower bound on sphinx-rtd-theme to v1.3.0rc1 to ensure compatibility with Sphinx v7+. - c.f. readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#1463 - As soon as sphinx-rtd-theme v1.3.0 is released on PyPI the lower bound should be updated to reflect this stable release. The release candidate is being used to unbreak CI. * Update lower bound of Sphinx to v7.0.0 for consistency.
This is because readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#1463 has been resolved.

Sphinx 7.2 changed its internal API for `toctree()`. See sphinx-doc/sphinx#11607 Related #1463
The support for `Sphinx` version 7 has been implemented in `rdt-themes`, but hasn't yet been released [1]. Currently, the build uses `Sphinx` version 7 which fails with [2]. Use a `Sphinx` version prior to 7 in order to fix that issue. [1] readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#1463 [2] `UndefinedError("'style' is undefined")` Signed-off-by: Frank Viernau <frank_viernau@epam.com>

Last time, the doc build failed because rtd was not fully supported by
Sphinx7.
See:
- readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#1463
- nexB/python-inspector#146
This problem has now been corrected, so we want to use the latest
rtd-compatible version of Sphinx.
Also fix the requirements version used in order to avoid future build
failure.
