Build not using specified version of sphinx

[03bennej]

Details

• Read the Docs project URL: https://readthedocs.org/projects/eipy/
• Build URL (failed): https://readthedocs.org/projects/eipy/builds/23844804/
• Build URL (latest passing build): https://readthedocs.org/projects/eipy/builds/23315114/

Expected Result

Successful build using sphinx="^4.2" which was working fine (see latest passing build above).

Actual Result

Failed build due to use of sphinx=7.2.6 (I think).

A description of what actually happened

I recently changed some minor code in my repo and noticed the documentation build failed on readthedocs. I was using sphinx="^4.2" (specified in pyproject.toml). In the past readthedocs had used this specified version, but now the most recent version of sphinx is being used.

I'm happy to use a more recent version of sphinx but it doesn't seem compatible with my extensions (also specified in pyproject.toml), and called in docs/source/conf.py.

Any help to get the documentation back up and running would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hey, I see your project uses poetry.
I see you haven't updated your .reathedocs.yaml file with the recent changes (here are the new instructions)
This specific bug had the consequence that, until the change to the .readthedocs.yaml file was done, poetry dependencies would be ignored by RTD, so it really looks like this is the change you need to make to make things work :)

That worked. Thanks Joachim
