Edit on GitHub link is broken for Markdown files in Sphinx projects

[gregmuellegger]

Here is an example: http://docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/changelog.html

The changelog source is in changelog.md but the link goes to https://github.com/rtfd/readthedocs.org/blob/master/docs/changelog.rst.

This was a Sphinx bug. I pushed a patch into Sphinx that fixes it, and gives us the proper source_suffix in the template context, we just need to make sure we are respecting it.

sphinx-doc/sphinx#1876

I reviewed the code and I think we are passing source_suffix through from the build to the API to the function that builds the github URL. So we should be good, but we now need to wait for a new Sphinx release :(

Blocked by next Sphinx release ">1.3.1"

[ericholscher]

This is fixed in the code base & waiting on a Sphinx release: sphinx-doc/sphinx#2278

i don't think this is fixed, I still get relocated to the .rst version of the file and the OP's issue has not been resolved as per the example link
