Project Not Building on readthedocs.org (config.py.tmpl?)

[hysz]

Details

This afternoon my project stopped building on readthedocs.org. It works locally.

• Read the Docs project URL: https://readthedocs.org/projects/0xprotocol
• Build URL (if applicable): https://readthedocs.org/projects/0xprotocol/builds/12439099/
• Read the Docs username (if applicable): hysz

Expected Result

The project builds.

Actual Result

The project fails to build with the error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'six'. This error seems to be coming from config.py.tmpl.

This workaround worked for me:

1. Created a .readthedocs.yaml:

# Read the Docs configuration file
# See https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config-file/v2.html for details

# Required
version: 2

# Build documentation in the docs/ directory with Sphinx
sphinx:
  configuration: docs/conf.py

# Build documentation with MkDocs
#mkdocs:
#  configuration: mkdocs.yml

# Optionally build your docs in additional formats such as PDF
#formats:
#  - pdf

# Optionally set the version of Python and requirements required to build your docs
python:
  version: 3.7
  install:
    - requirements: docs/requirements.txt

2. Created a docs/requirements.txt file:

six

Although I'll leave this open, as it seems that this dependency should be getting installed automatically (and I believe was previously, since I have never had this issue before).

I'm closing this one as duplicated of #7705
