Read the docs: Build environment creation failed


Read The Docs kept telling me that my documents failed to build. Error log shows that 'Build environment creation failed'. I tried to wipe my build environment, but the documents still failed to build.

Here's an image of the page:

Build environment creation failed

I have read the Frequently Asked Questions, but it doesn't contain any information about my issue. How can I fix this?


Solution

  • I received the same error.

    In my case, I had to disable EPUB build. You can try this.

    1. Go to your readthedoc projects Admin settings.
    2. Then Advanced Settings
    3. Then, under Enable EPUB build,make sure the checkbox is unticked. Do the same for Enable PDF build.

    See if one of those two might be the cause of the error.

    Good luck.
