Description

Hello, I'm a developer who work with Roberto to implement feature https://github.com/rstcheck/rstcheck-core/issues/68. Our pull request here https://github.com/rstcheck/rstcheck-core/pull/85.

Currently the Test code CI workflow of our PR is failed with the python version >=3.9 in matrix. As the logs show while running tox, it's related to sphinxcontrib.applehelp that require python>=3.9 and sphinx>=5.0 https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinxcontrib-applehelp/blob/master/pyproject.toml#L54

.tox/py310-with-sphinx4/lib/python3.10/site-packages/sphinx/application.py:380: in setup_extension
    self.registry.load_extension(self, extname)
        extname    = 'sphinxcontrib.applehelp'
        self       = <sphinx.application.Sphinx object at 0x103eaa110>
.tox/py310-with-sphinx4/lib/python3.10/site-packages/sphinx/registry.py:441: in load_extension
    raise VersionRequirementError(
E   sphinx.errors.VersionRequirementError: The sphinxcontrib.applehelp extension used by this project needs at least Sphinx v5.0; it therefore cannot be built with this version.

I also take the test of removing sphinx-4 from tox-env on my personal fork, it all passed, https://github.com/namminhlp/rstcheck-core/actions/runs/7608363389.

So, is the issue come from your setup ? Or what else we need to do to pass your Test code workflow ?

Thank you in advance !

Hi, I'll have to take a closer look at this. Right off the bat I can't tell much and nothing rings a bell at sphinxcontrib.applehelp. I hope I find the time in the next few days.

Just saw other PRs failing with the same error, also over at rstcheck. Seems to be a bigger issue not only for your PR.
