AttributeError: 'Values' object has no attribute 'link_base' in building sphinx documentation.

[Sencer Hamarat]

Hello everyone,

If 'sphinx.ext.autodoc' extension enabled in conf.py of sphinx, when I try to run 'make html' I'm ending up with AttributeError exception:

Exception occurred:
  File /env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admindocs/utils.py", line 121, in _role
    inliner.document.settings.link_base,
AttributeError: 'Values' object has no attribute 'link_base'

I tried it with combinations of some django and sphinx versions.

Here is the no luck list:

django 1.10, django 1.11 and sphinx 3.5

django 2.0.13 and sphinx 3.5 , sphinx 4.0, sphinx 4.2.0, sphinx 4.3.1

I also opened an issue at sphinx github but they said this has to do with django admindocs instead of  sphinx.

Is there anybody who has resolved the AttributeError exception thrown while building documents via sphinx?

Regards,

Sencer HAMARAT

you could raise a bug report on the django tracker at https://code.djangoproject.com/query but I'm doubtful that this will gain any traction

Those versions of django you specified are very out of date.  1.10 was EOL in 2017, 1.11 EOL'd April 2020 and 2.0 EOLd Aug 2018

If you don't have any issues with currently supported versions (2.2, 3.2 and 4.0),  then its likely that any PRs won't be applied.

I think the same way.

I will upgrade to 2.2.25 soon. Then I'll open a ticket asap.
