Details:

• Project URL: https://readthedocs.org/projects/mappyfile/
• Build URL(if applicable): https://readthedocs.org/projects/mappyfile/builds/8647215/
• Read the Docs username(if applicable): geographika

Expected Result

A successful build

Actual Result

The build fails, with very little in the log - it seems to fail at git clean -d -f -f

Tried wiping the build environment, and setting the conf.py manually in advanced settings, changing Python version etc. but no luck so far.

Probably same as #4371. You don't have this submodules https://github.com/geographika/mappyfile/blob/master/.gitmodules in your repo https://github.com/geographika/mappyfile/tree/master/tests/mapfiles

@stsewd - many thanks for the quick reply and solution. Fixing the submodules fixed the builds. I had found the issue previously but forgot the project had submodules - apologies for that.
It looks like reporting the error to the log is only possilble by fixing gitpython as mentioned at gitpython-developers/GitPython#279 ?

Yeah, I already have a PR almost accepted in gitpython gitpython-developers/GitPython#818, but looks like tests are failing in their master branch for python 3.7
