I am using the Jinja extension from sphinxcontrib. For this I have added the
following to conf.py:
extensions = ['sphinxcontrib.jinja']
import json
jinja_contexts = {
'messages': json.load(open("messages.json"))
}
The file "messages.json" is created automatically during the build of the
project, before sphinx-build is called. The file is located in the build
directory of the project.
Now I'm struggling to refer to that file from conf.py, as the current
directory is set to the directory where conf.py is located (which is the
source directory of the project) when conf.py is loaded.
My workaround currently is to copy conf.py to the build directory and execute
sphinx-build like so, with the current directory set to the build directory:
sphinx-build -b html -c . -d doctree '/.../source' html
Is there a way to avoid copying conf.py to the build directory first? E.g. any
variable which holds the value of the directory where sphinx-build is executed
in, which can be accessed from conf.py?
I also tried to add -D build_dir='/...' to sphinx-build in the hope that maybe
this would make build_dir defined when conf.py is evaluated, but this is not
the case.
TIA, Markus
