Note: checking out 'origin/develop'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

HEAD is now at 3d99ee5a Update .readthedocs.yaml

git clean -d -f -f

The last passing build had the git submodule sync command which happens after the git clean:

git submodule sync

But I'm not sure where the issue came from. Here is the readthedocs.yaml file. I did make some changes to try and troubleshoot without luck (chage python version, remove explicit image specification on build)

I've also hit the 'wipe build env' button to confirm that doesn't do anything to fix it. Not entirely sure what I broke but appreciate any insight!

I found a log in our server containing this error:

AttributeError: 'Tree' object has no attribute '_name'

I think we already had this issue before and it was a problem with gitpython package on particular git repositories. I will need to take a look at some history probably. @stsewd do you remember this problem?

[humitos]

Here it is the issue that I remembered #4371

[colinoflynn]

Ah thanks for the note @humitos - let me check our submodules config, I wasn't thinking that error would get hidden. Could have introduced a problem there, gives me something to check now.

[colinoflynn]

Adding:

submodules:
  exclude: all

Fixed this - we had submodules for part of the project only before, I'm not sure it's still needed. Closing for now as the general problem is solved immediately & will see if we actually need anything that triggers a problem.

[stsewd]

This is mostly to having submodules that aren't on the repository anymore https://github.com/newaetech/chipwhisperer/blob/develop/.gitmodules, like openadc.
