Read The Docs TOC Footer Not Loading and Throwing Errors

Details

If this issue is for a specific project or build, include the following:

• Project: http://gobblin.readthedocs.org/en/readthedocs/
• Build #: latest

When loading the project page, the Chrome Inspect tool throws an error saying: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (NOT FOUND) https://readthedocs.org//api/v2/footer_html/?callback=jQuery211025191313796…2Fcheckouts%2Freadthedocs%2Fgobblin-docs&source_suffix=.md&_=1456430887845

and Error loading Read the Docs footer $.ajax.error @ readthedocs-doc-embed.js:1

I notice that the Read the Docs tab on the bottom left of the screen (at the bottom of the main TOC) is not loading. I'm guessing these are related, but any idea why this is happening? Is this a bug? Has anyone else seen this issue?

For reference my mkdocs.yml file is here: https://github.com/linkedin/gobblin/blob/readTheDocs/mkdocs.yml

The docs are checked into the following branch of this GitHub Project: https://github.com/linkedin/gobblin/tree/readTheDocs and are under the folder gobblin-docs

The ReadTheDocs Admin Page is here: https://readthedocs.org/projects/gobblin/
The ReadTheDocs Home Page is here: http://gobblin.readthedocs.org/en/readthedocs/

For some reason, the URL requested includes an incorrect version slug of: &version=readTheDocs. It should be the version slug, ie:&version=readthedocs. This seems like whatever Mkdocs is using here is incorrect.

Seems this is where it is wrong:

Thanks a ton for the investigation @agjohnson

Should I go ahead and open an Issue on the Mkdocs GitHub?

If the change is as simple as 'version': self.version.verbose_name, to 'version': self.version.slug, I can create the PR too

[agjohnson]

A PR would be 💯 I believe that change should be enough. I don't use Mkdocs and haven't tested this however.

I checked http://gobblin.readthedocs.org/en/readthedocs/ and this is working now thanks everyone!
