Sorry but if we want to motivate people to write more documentation we need to find a simpler way. To write docs we need to be able to at least check the display of a page before committing in a simple way. If the environment is complex to reproduce and to debug, then we should have, at least, somewhere a web page creation service. How reviewer will check that was is proposed is OK and looks fine ? It's a serious issue that needs to be addressed with urgency. Dominig On 12/09/2019 21:48, Ildiko Vancsa wrote:

"Simpler" is a relative term. Since tox is being used here to abstract away building a dedicated Python virtual environment, installing documentation build dependencies and running Sphinx commands to convert reStructuredText markup into HTML content, you would basically need to perform the same steps yourself instead (make sure your current working directory is the top-level directory of the Git repository's worktree):
virtualenv -p python3 mydocs
mydocs/bin/pip install -c https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/requirements/plain/upper-constraint... -r doc/requirements.txt
mydocs/bin/sphinx-build -a -E -W -d doc/build/doctrees -b html doc/source doc/build/html
The commands above were inferred from the tox.ini file in that project. Resulting content should appear in the doc/build/html directory. Of course, I fully expect you'll see virtualenv break there the same way it does when tox tries to call it, but it's worth a try. I'm unable to reproduce the error on my systems so it's tough to be certain. […]
I usually run the tests in a virtual machine to avoid having anything going wrong with my laptop. I can confirm that on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 after installing tox and cloning the StarlingX docs repo the ‘tox -e docs’ command works like a charm.
Thanks, Ildikó
