Hi, I am working on my first kedro project and would like to generate som docs, but i get this error

christoph.imler@M-FVFFR0PQQ05P pt-kedro % kedro build-docs
Usage: kedro [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Try 'kedro -h' for help.

Error: No such command 'build-docs'.
christoph.imler@M-FVFFR0PQQ05P pt-kedro %

I have inculded the documentaion tool when i created my project and it seems to be installed according to my pyproject-file

[project.optional-dependencies]
docs = [
    "docutils<0.18.0",
    "sphinx~=3.4.3",
    "sphinx_rtd_theme==0.5.1",
    "nbsphinx==0.8.1",
    "sphinx-autodoc-typehints==1.11.1",
    "sphinx_copybutton==0.3.1",
    "ipykernel>=5.3, <7.0",
    "Jinja2<3.1.0",
    "myst-parser~=0.17.2",
]

[tool.setuptools.dynamic]
dependencies = {file = "requirements.txt"}
version = {attr = "pt_kedro.__version__"}

[tool.setuptools.packages.find]
where = ["src"]
namespaces = false

[tool.kedro]
package_name = "pt_kedro"
project_name = "pt_kedro"
kedro_init_version = "0.19.1"
tools = ['Linting', 'Testing', 'Custom Logging', 'Documentation', 'Data Structure', 'Kedro Viz']

How can I fix this? I had no success googling it.

Hi @Christoph Imler, the

kedro build-docs

command doesn't exist anymore. Instead you'll have to use

sphinx

to build the docs. During project creation Kedro will add configuration for you, but the building of the docs is done by sphinx and not Kedro.

Great! Thanks:)

It was a long process, which involved research of all our cli commands, and it turned out that

kedro build-docs

wasn't used a lot at all. We made the decision to remove it to reduce the maintenance burden and focus more on highly used features. If you're interested you can read more about it in this issue: https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/issues/1293
