Here is a little patch I suggest for autodoc.
In :file:`sphinx/ext/autodoc.py` line 332
(meth:`Documenter.import.object`), add 2 lines::
except Exception, err:
if self.env.app.warningiserror: # ADDED
raise # ADDED
self.directive.warn(
'autodoc can\'t import/find %s %r, it reported error: '
'"%s", please check your spelling and sys.path' %
(self.objtype, str(self.fullname), err))
return False
This is about when a module you are autodocumenting fails to import.
Sphinx's or autodoc's usual behaviour is to just issue a one-line
warning. That's perfect. When sphinx-build was called with `-W` then the
warning causes it to stop. That's also perfect. I just would like it to
stop with a traceback and not with a single warning line.
For me this change is important because otherwise there is no way to see
a traceback of what happened.
One drawback is that it says also the usual "Please also report this if
it was a user error, so that a better error message can be provided next
time..." which, in such a case, is not appropriate since the error has
nothing to do with Sphinx.
