Running sphinx-build leads to AttributeError: 'Values' object has no attribute 'link_base'
Question:
I have a Django 4.2 project and wish to run Sphinx to generate the docs. When I run
sphinx-build -b html docs_source/ docs/
I got the following error:
Exception occurred:
File

line 116, in _role
inliner.document.settings.link_base,

I tried today with a fresh new environment, Phyton, Django and Sphinx. I got the same error message. I cannot paste here the Sphinx error message since this editor does not allow it….
Answers:
I created a workaround in order to owercome this issue and go on with the document generation.
In the [conda environment path]Libsite-packagesdjangocontribadmindocsutils.py in the create_reference_role() function, I replaced
node = docutils.nodes.reference(
rawtext,
text,
refuri=(
urlbase
% (
inliner.document.settings.link_base,
text.lower(),
)
),
**options,
)
with
try:
node = docutils.nodes.reference(
rawtext,
text,
refuri=(
urlbase
% (
inliner.document.settings.link_base,
text.lower(),
)
),
**options,
)
except AttributeError:
node = docutils.nodes.reference(
rawtext,
text,
refuri=None,
**options,
)
