Builds continuously fail with unexpected error

Details

• Project URL: https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io
• Build URL (if applicable):latest, master, dev ... all
• Read the Docs username (if applicable): marcelstoer

Expected Result

GitHub commit hook triggers build and I never hear anything, has been like this for months more or less.

Actual Result

For the last couple of days all builds seem to have failed for unknown (to me) reasons.

https://readthedocs.org/projects/nodemcu/builds/5626630/

An unexpected error occurred

...are they ever expected 😉

The three listed build tasks there don't indicate any problem. Output suggests all is well.

BUT the builds actually do succeed (as suspected) and the pages are updated.

I have the same problem; builds are reporting as failed, but the updated docs are being installed. It seems something fails after the 'Installing' step.

Example build URL: https://readthedocs.org/projects/uhack-guide/builds/5635512/
Project: https://readthedocs.org/projects/uhack-guide/

I tried creating a new project (from the same source repo in Bitbucket), to no avail - builds still report 'unexpected error' but the HTML is built successfully.

Eg: https://readthedocs.org/projects/uhack-guide-2017/builds/

Same is happening to me: RTFD stopped generating correctly the docs 14 days ago, without me changing anything to it. Since then all builds fail, but no error message to help debug (and no error when trying locally - on Py2 or Py3).

Project: https://readthedocs.org/projects/gef/builds/

Is it possible to get more debug info on the building process ?

Brand new RTD user here. Having what appears to be a very similar issue: I get an "An unexpected error occurred" when my Markdown files are processed, and yet my site renders just fine.

Recent PRs merged #3009 and #2979 appear to have resolved this issue. I recommend closing this issue.
