Please take a look at https://readthedocs.org/projects/platformio/builds/?page=1

P.S: Is something going wrong with PlatformIO? We already disabled WHOLE RTD functionality. Users complain about missed PDF and ePub formats. We disabled everything and can't build even minimal HTML.

Should we host our docs at Github Pages?

Thanks!

Sorry about that, html builds should be working now, we had a problem with the last deploy #7442.

[ivankravets]

Thanks! I thought the whole of our account was banned.

Do you have any ideas on how to resolve all these FAILED builds?

[stsewd]

That we need to debug a little more, tomorrow this PR should be live #7449 and that will allow us to have more info to debug

[ivankravets]

Thanks, Santos! I'll restart a build tomorrow to see the changes.

Just an update here, looks like the other PR doesn't affect the output, this one should do it #7473

I just triggered a new build https://readthedocs.org/projects/platformio/builds/11887839/ it's passing now, not sure if the PDF is correct https://readthedocs.org/projects/platformio/downloads/

[ivankravets]

Wow! PDF... 😊 Thanks!!!

Santos, do we need this custom file https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/blob/develop/.readthedocs.yml? I don't remember why we added it. It seems like we can control PDF/ePUB from the admin system.

@ivankravets we recommend projects to use a configuration file instead of the dashboard. There are things you can't do in the dashboard, like disabling zip builds (this format can take a lot of resources to build), having more control over search and more https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config-file/v2.html#supported-settings
