Enable PIP_ALWAYS_UPGRADE feature

[wmayner]

The project feature PIP_ALWAYS_UPGRADE was merged in PR #3201. I'm wondering if it's possible to use this feature as a user; it looks like it's not exposed yet.

The features options are set by the rtd team by user requesting it. This could be an option for #4084

Oh, gotcha—didn't realize that!

In that case, I'd like to enable it for my project: https://pyphi.readthedocs.io (username wmayner)

@wmayner Hi! I already added this feature to your project.

I'm closing the issue here, but let us know if it does worked as you expected or not and feel free to re-open it.

Thanks!

Thanks! It looks like the upgrade flag is working.

I'm still not getting the behavior I expect, however (maybe this should be a separate issue—let me know):

I have my own fork of sphinx_rtd_theme, and I'm trying to get the styles from my fork to override the default styles on readthedocs.org. But it looks like the theme.css that's served is still the upstream version.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding how the styles are applied? Or maybe it's a caching issue? Any help would be appreciated.

I just check this build output (https://readthedocs.org/projects/pyphi/builds/7268449/) and the feature that I added to your project worked since I can see the --upgrade option passed to pip.

Regarding the css: yes, that seems to be a different issue. Please, open a new one (and close this one) so we can track it there. We will need to research a little more to solve that.
