ValueError: Item src does not exist

[valberg]

I'm getting the following when trying to build our docs with sphinx-autodoc2:

[Autodoc2] Determining files to write ...
[Autodoc2] Writing modules...[  0%] src

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Extension error (autodoc2.sphinx.extension):
Handler <function run_autodoc at 0x7f32ba1a1d00> for event 'builder-inited' threw an exception (exception: Item src does not exist)

Our docs/conf.py looks like this:

import os
import sys

project = "Project"
copyright = ""
author = ""

extensions = [
    "myst_parser",
    "sphinx.ext.viewcode",
    "sphinxcontrib.mermaid",
    "autodoc2",
]
autodoc2_packages = [
    "../src/",
]

templates_path = ["_templates"]

language = "en"

exclude_patterns = []

html_theme = "furo"
html_static_path = []

myst_enable_extensions = [
    "dollarmath",
    "amsmath",
    "deflist",
    "fieldlist",
    "html_admonition",
    "html_image",
    "colon_fence",
    "smartquotes",
    "replacements",
    "strikethrough",
    "substitution",
    "tasklist",
    "attrs_image",
]

It looks like it goes through all the modules alright, but when it comes to writing them it fails.

Am I doing anything wrong or is this a real bug?

Heya, yep I think you need to provide the path to the actual package, not just the containing src folder, e.g.:

autodoc2_packages = [
    "../src/my_package",
]

But for sure it should be error handled better than this

I am currently using glob.glob("../src/**/*.py")

A feature to specify a path like autoapi does would be nice.
