[Solved] Nbdev_preview results in AttributeError

nbdev
1

I am running development libraries (from source) of fastai, fastcore, and nbdev:

nbdev - 2.3.8
fastcore - 1.5.28
fastai - 2.7.10

I followed the steps outlined here to install them: fastai - Pull requests made easy

I am developing my own library for work, and all the other commands like nbdev_export and nbdev_prepare work well

but when I try to preview the docs with nbdev_preview, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Here is my folder structure in case that helps:

The error seems to be stemming from fastcore/basics.py

I also tried running the same command in a fresh environment that contains the conda versions of fastai, fastcore and nbdev

nbdev - 2.3.7
fastcore - 1.5.27
fastai - 2.7.9

And got the same error.

These are my versions

nbdev 2.3.8
fastcore 1.5.28
fastai 2.7.10

Can you install the latest versions from GitHub instead and let us know if the same errors occur?

I have installed the latest versions from github matching:

And I am still getting the same error. nbdev_docs is also failing with the exact same error as the one I had posted on the initial image.

Can you share a minimally reproducible example? I am not able to replicate your issue.

So I figured out the bug. I had a _quarto.yml in my nbs folder that was created a long time ago but was still present. When deleting the one in the root folder, I missed this one.

I deleted it as Jeremy said in this post: Nbdev_preview fails. property name execute is invalid - #2 by jeremy

Thanks for your time Hamel.
