Typer with sphinx-autobuild going on infinite loop

[tasansal]

Hi, I just started using typer on my project documentation and it's great!

During my development, I use sphinx-autobuild plugin to automatically re-render the documentation when I modify anything in the /docs folder, including the conf.py file.

When I run sphinx-autobuild the docs get built and rendered correctly. However, at the end of it, it says conf.py was modified and the modification was typer_render_html.

I noticed this is the configuration for sphinx-contrib/typer, however, I am just using the defaults. Is the typer extension for sphinx modifying the conf.py file to add its default parameters?

I think this is a bug, or if I am doing something wrong please let me know.

I tried adding the configuration manually to conf.py with default values, which works, but I don't want to specify all the defaults in the conf.py file :) NVM, I was wrong, it still has the same infinite loop.

Thanks!

Hi @tasansal - thanks for reporting this - the typer extension is not directly modifying conf.py but it is setting some configuration values to lambdas. I have not been able to reproduce this issue using the latest two versions of sphinx-autobuild on osx python 3.8 and 3.12 builds, but I've gone ahead and changed these lambdas to functions.

Please try version 0.1.12 and let me know if that fixed your issue!

Hi @bckohan , thanks for a quick fix! Unfortunately, it didn't work. Here is the project I am working on.

You can check the docs configuration under docs/conf.py, and the sphinx-autodoc can be ran by nox -rs docs command if you have nox, poetry, and python installed.

This is the trigger for the re-builds, and goes forever.

@tasansal please see my PR - I think a jupyter notebook was causing this issue for you.
