Unable to build docs locally

[daniellepintz]

I am trying to build docs locally. I followed the steps here but when I go to http://docs/build/html/index.html I get: "This site can’t be reached"

Here is the end of the output for when I run make html:

copying images... [ 97%] _static/images/mnist_imgs/restart_runtime.png
copying images... [ 98%] _static/images/mnist_imgs/tpu_start.png
copying images... [ 99%] _static/images/mnist_imgs/tpu_fast.png
copying images... [100%] _static/images/general/PTL101_youtube_thumbnail.jpg

copying static files... done
copying extra files... done
dumping search index in English (code: en)... done

build succeeded, 1 warning.

The HTML pages are in build/html.
The name of the builder is: htmlCopying sphinx_paramlinks stylesheet... done

It looks all fine to me...

Hey @daniellepintz I think the URL should be something different. (the protocol shouldn't be http.)

In my env, the project root dir is:

/Users/nitta/work/github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/

and the URL is:

file:///Users/nitta/work/github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/docs/build/html/index.html

thanks so much @akihironitta! I tried
file:///home/daniellepintz/pytorch-lightning/docs/build/html/index.html but unfortunately that still doesn't work for me. Although I am getting a different error now: "Your file couldn’t be accessed. It may have been moved, edited, or deleted."

No worries though, I was able to find a workaround by looking in the CI docs job
