Help Using `notebook2html` about nbdev HOT 5 CLOSED

Glad you managed to get it to work. Probably an env issue yes. Let's close this, but please reopen if you find a reproducible way of getting the bug!

from nbdev.

That is weird indeed. So this error comes because notebook2html executes all the cells with show_doc(function_or_class) (that are automatically added in place of exported code cells). For this to work, it adds a cell from nbdev.showdoc import show_doc at the top of the notebook, which for some reason is failing.
My best guess would be that the environment in which nbconvert executes the notebook does not have nbdev installed, but I have no idea how to fix it.

Thanks @sgugger are you able to reproduce this error? If not, that might at least start giving me hints on how to proceed.

Interestingly, I am not calling showdoc anywhere in my notebook, but not sure that matters in this case.

I tried installing nbdev in my global environment but that didn't help.

BTW How do you generate blog posts for the main fast.ai website from Jupyter Notebooks, do you call this function this way?

No I haven't been able to reproduce that bug. In ipython, your code works fine for me.
It doesn't matter if you code doesn't call show_doc. Each time you define a function that is exported, the command notebook2html will replace it by a show_doc cell before converting to HTML.

To generate blog posts, we use the command nbdev_nb2md.

Thanks @sgugger I was able to make this work inside a Docker container, so maybe something funky with my local environment? Should I close this issue? Thanks for the insights
