Pin sphinx !=6.1.3 (avoid non-functional Search utility on readthedocs) #3142
Conversation
OK tests have completely vanished off the PR page - GH going through puberty again ffs 🤦♂️ |
Thanks for looking into this @valeriupredoi! Did you report the issue with the rtd theme om their issue tracker? |
indeed I did @bouweandela - see here readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#1451 - gotta get back to the dev who's replied to me last night tho |
am testing a different solution/workaround - so please don't review/merge this one just yet 👍 |
superseded with a more solid workaround by #3144 |
Description
@ehogan and @remi-kazeroni have noticed that the Search utility on our documentation page became non functional at some point ie it kept doing nothing while it said "Searching..."
After a few trials in the environment it proves out that
sphinx_rtd_theme=1.2.0
is not a big fan ofsphinx=6.1.3
- the Search is a problem arising from having these two in the environment; there may be other problems that we don't know of.sphinx=5
and anysphinx_rtd_theme
(1.1.1 or 1.2.0) all give us a functional Search utility, so I pinnedsphinx
to restrictive; mamba on RTD decides to grab 5.0 even though there are other newer versions; documentation builds well and is searchable https://esmvaltool--3142.org.readthedocs.build/en/3142/Before you get started
