i am trying to install a python library (pytorch) from a wheel i have hosted on an s3 server. i have an install script that i run which has been tested separately. upon fixing rtd specific build problems, the build now errors during the build process when running the command:
python /home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/pyro-ppl/envs/docs-upgrade/bin/sphinx-build -T -E -b readthedocs -d _build/doctrees-readthedocs -D language=en . _build/html

the conf.py file (i am using sphinx) has the following relevant lines:

os.system('curl -o install.sh https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jpchen/32325c3e9c9944947dd3f6f1586c5829/raw/77d6208778da7568b50738a8acc57307a2e069a5/tst.sh')
os.system('bash install.sh')
os.system('rm -f install.sh')

@jpchen hi, why did you close the issue? Were you able to solve the problem?

[jpchen]

not really, but i did a workaround, and figured it wasnt worth your time deep diving into it.
what would be really helpful though is to output the immediate commands leading up to the error. if a command errors, that entire command and its output is not outputted in the build log and it becomes hard to debug.

Interesting. I am going to reopen this until someone from core can look at that suggestion, just to make sure this doesn't get lost because it's in a closed issue. Core person: feel free to close this or open a new issue for logging if you think that makes sense!

I have opened an issue for that in #4288
