Unknown directive type "panels".snooty(DocUtilsParseError)

[sistia01]

Describe the problem

I have followed the steps outlined here (https://sphinx-panels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) but ma having some trouble with sphinx-panels. The extension has been dowloaded in my local folders but when using VSCode I get the error Unknown directive type "panels" .snooty(DocUtilsParseError) but the panels show-up so I figured this was just a warning. I recently uploaded all of my documentation to ReadTheDocs and received an error that said that the extension does not exist and therefore my website could not be built -- the only way that I am able to build the site is by deleting the extension from the extensions = (in conf.py) . Is there something that I am missing?

Heya, Currently I would note in your conf.py the extension is commented out?

But mainly I would note #67, i.e. you might want to try out sphinx-design

[sistia01]

Hi, yes! I commented it out because I'd get a terminal error -- could not build website.

Thanks! I'll try sphinx-design instead!

[sistia01]

Hi Chris, sorry to reach out again about this. I am running into the same error with sphinx-design. Any idea on what I can do here? I am unable to build the website (attaching a screenshot of the error message from ReadTheDocs).

[chrisjsewell]

Heya, two things here:

1. you don’t seem to have sphinx-design in your requirements.txt?
2. In the extensions list, it should be sphinx_design not sphinx-design

[sistia01]

Worked! Thanks so much!
