'brightway examples' submodule and 'bw2io' directory not found during setup

[PGjedde]

I am trying to setup conda environment to start supporting the brightway documentation as intended by the https://github.com/brightway-lca/brightway-documentation/tree/main.

I run in to some issues, and I am not sure which is the actual issue and why it is happening, or if they're related or two separate issues. First, when setting up the repository submodules with git submodule update --init --recursive --remote --force using git bash, it seems to work fine for all submodules except one:

/brightway-documentation` (main) $ git submodule update --init --recursive --remote --force fatal: No url found for submodule path 'source/content/gallery/brightway-examples' in .gitmodules

From here I just continued anyway with the setup guide. Until eventually in anaconda prompt from my activated sphinx environment I get the following error:

(sphinx) C:\Users\myuser\brightway-documentation>sphinx-build source _build/html -b singlehtml -a Extension error: AutoAPI Directory C:\Users\philipgj\Git\brightway-documentation\brightway2-io\bw2io not found. Please check your autoapi_dirs setting.

Thank you for reporting this! I’m currently on holiday, but promise to take a look Wednesday next week.

Should be resolved with https://github.com/brightway-lca/brightway-documentation/commit/75358de1038e7b962d738f20cd82a09827408c16. Please confirm and close the issue if the build completes without errors.

Hi Michael, I tested it out and it works - amazing, thank you! I see you already closed the issue so I guess you expected that :)
