Server perpetually restarts after rebuilding documentation

[JulianOrteil]

Describe the bug

context/problem Launching sphinx-autobuild from tox (in conjunction with tox-conda) results in the server continuously relaunching. Specifying
--no-initial results in the server launching as expected until it detects a change and rebuilds the documentation, then this issue persists again. Also, CTRL+C is not responsive, I have to kill the terminal to quit this issue.

expectation This not to occur.

Reproduce the bug

1. Setup and create an Anaconda environment, or at least have the program installed and on PATH
2. Install tox and tox-conda: pip install tox tox-conda
3. Create a tox.ini file with something similar to the following:

   [testenv:autodocs]
   description =
   Invoke sphinx-autobuild to hot reload docs changes
   deps =
   sphinx>=3.2.1
   furo
   sphinx-copybutton
   sphinx-autobuild
   commands =
   # Add --no-initial to see that described behavior
   sphinx-autobuild docs docs/_build/html

4. Launch with tox -e autodocs

List your environment

Python: 3.9.12 Windows 10 Anaconda env, likely not necessary Other tools, see above

Having the same issue, but within a Docker container.

[lwasser]

i'm actually running into this same issue as well. i'm just running it locally and/or using hatch scripts. once i make a change, it continues to rebuild and rebuild.

so i can run it outside of hatch and get the same result

sphinx-autobuild docs/ docs/_build

output as expected

then i make a change to any page in the build and it starts to spin. I can not sure what is causing this but i see this behavior in this pr. i am open to suggestions!!

this is my envt

[lwasser]

I tried removing some of the build extensions like autoapi. but i'm still getting this issue! if anyone has a suggestion of things I could try to troubleshoot I'm game to try to figure this out. i'm just not sure where to begin to troubleshoot this.
