WARNING: html_static_path entry ... does not exist #1776

stevepiercy · 2015-10-20T08:31:57Z

I noticed a 404.
http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid-tutorials/en/latest/

This issue cropped up recently for at least 5 other Pylons Project project's documentation.
http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid_tm/en/latest/
http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid-jinja2/en/latest/
http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid-debugtoolbar/en/latest/
http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid-zcml/en/latest/
http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid-cookbook/en/latest/

All was working fine a few weeks ago and there had been no changes to these repos that could have caused a build to fail. After much Googling, flailing, and random guessing, I just gave up. Every build ends up with a false positive like the following.
https://readthedocs.org/projects/pyramid_tutorials/builds/3413804/

copying static files... WARNING: html_static_path entry u'/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/pyramid-tutorials/checkouts/latest/_static' does not exist
WARNING: html_static_path entry '/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/readthedocs/templates/sphinx/_static' does not exist

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

FWIW, the following does render:

This might be related to some recent refactoring of domains and subprojects, have you made any changes to domains recently? It might be worth double checking those, or testing the new domain admin interface.

agjohnson · 2015-10-20T20:02:41Z

Also, to remove the warnings, try setting html_static_path = [] in your conf.py. We default this to include the _static path if it's not set.

stevepiercy · 2015-10-20T20:56:23Z

Thanks for the tips, @agjohnson.

I am aware of no changes in the Domains section of the Admin interface. Is there another Admin UI?
https://readthedocs.org/dashboard/pyramid_tutorials/domains/

I tried adding http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid-tutorials/en/latest/ as the canonical domain name at the above, but got an error message:

Domain with this Domain already exists.

In our project's conf.py we have

    canonical_url='http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid-tutorials/en/latest/'

I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

Also, to remove the warnings, try setting html_static_path = [] in your conf.py. We default this to include the _static path if it's not set.

That was one of my earlier attempts which failed, too. 😞

agjohnson · 2015-10-20T21:50:50Z

Calling @ericholscher in on this, he's had the most experience with domains and subprojects lately.

stevepiercy · 2015-10-20T22:40:18Z

Another data point, the Pyramid docs build just fine. Pyramid is our "gold standard" for the ideal setup and configuration regarding Sphinx and RTD. That might give y'all something that works for comparison. Thanks for looking into this.

ericholscher · 2015-10-20T22:45:40Z

This is an issue with our handling of underscores in project slugs. The work I did likely reverted a hacky bit we were doing transforming them. _'s are illegal in subdomains, so we don't allow them anymore, but we need to migrate old projects to fix their slugs. I will plan on doing this today, and it will fix this issue.

The main thing that needs to happen is redirects. We are already doing these redirects on subproject & subdomain URL's, we just need to add them to the actual project pages on RTD.org, and it should be seamless.

stevepiercy · 2015-10-21T05:05:41Z

Thanks, @ericholscher, looks like those 6 projects are back. Closing this issue as resolved.

In this scenario, it was actually a Good Thing™ that the 404 occurred without a redirect. I might not have noticed with a redirect, depending on implementation.

This was causing the following warning: `WARNING: html_static_path entry '_static' does not exist` Removed since it gets added by default See readthedocs/readthedocs.org#1776 (comment)

It is not needed since we have no static assets and results in a warning on GitHub Actions: "WARNING: html_static_path entry '_static' does not exist" See readthedocs/readthedocs.org#1776 (comment)

Sphinx issues a warning, when the `html_static_path` contains paths with underscores. `tox -e docs` resulted in the following warning: "WARNING: html_static_path entry '_static' does not exist" As `_static` is the default value for `html_static_path` there is no need to configure it explicitly. Also see readthedocs/readthedocs.org#1776 An alternative approach would have been to set the path to e.g. `static`.

Why: Something on read the docs end How: Remove _static from conf.py See: readthedocs/readthedocs.org#1776 Tags: continuous integration documentation
