ERROR: Unknown directive type "autofunction" etc

[DavidA]

Hi

I'm still struggling to get Sphinx working for me to document my Python code.

Here is my index.rst file:

.. MyProj documentation master file, created by

   sphinx-quickstart on Fri Jul 31 11:31:34 2015.

   You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least

   contain the root `toctree` directive.

Welcome to MyProj documentation!

======================================

Contents:

.. toctree::

   :maxdepth: 2

Indices and tables

==================

* :ref:`genindex`

* :ref:`modindex`

* :ref:`search`

.. currentmodule:: main

.. autofunction:: get_field

.. automodule:: main

.. autoclass:: CSchematic

    :members:

.. automodule:: mygraph

.. autoclass:: CGraph

    :members:

When I run 'make clean' and then 'make html' I see:

Running Sphinx v1.3.1

Please could someone suggest why the errors are happening?

Hi David,

Note sure, but I guess your "extensions" settings in your conf.py is missing autodoc, e.g. mine looks like this:

extensions = ['sphinx.ext.autodoc', 'sphinx.ext.doctest',
              'sphinx.ext.intersphinx', 'sphinx.ext.todo',
              'sphinx.ext.ifconfig', 'sphinx.ext.viewcode',
              'sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram',
              'sphinx.ext.autosummary']

Hi Werner,

Thanks, you are correct - I had forgotten autodoc. It works ok now.

Best regards
