py-modindex.html correctly generated locally but not online

[Jan Rudolph]

Hi everyone!

I'm documenting my project with sphinx + sphinx-apidoc. I added all docs, except for docs/_build to my github repository.

The documentation builds nicely on RTD but the link to the apidoc leads to a non-existant page.

I saw that the html build of RTD uses

sphinx-build -b html . _build/html

I ran the same command locally where the documentation is build without errors and the automatically generated modindex is also present.

Any suggestions on how to debug this issue?

Best,

Jan
