Hi all,

I'm trying to write my first Sphinx extension. It is a directive that adds a new section based on parsing a config file. As long as I return |paragraph| nodes, then the directive works fine, but when I return |section| nodes, the program errors out with the following message:

|$ sphinx-build docs _build Running Sphinx v4.2.0 building [mo]: targets for 0 po files that are out of date building [html]: targets for 2 source files that are out of date updating environment: [new config] 2 added, 0 changed, 0 removed reading sources... [100%] test Extension error (sphinx.environment.collectors.toctree): Handler <bound method TocTreeCollector.process_doc of <sphinx.environment.collectors.toctree.TocTreeCollector object at 0x7f5803601190>> for event 'doctree-read' threw an exception (exception: list index out of range)|

This is what a stripped down version of my extension looks like:

|from docutils import nodes from docutils.parsers.rst import Directive class HelloSection(Directive): def run(self): section_dir = nodes.section() section_dir += nodes.title(text="An example") section_dir += nodes.paragraph(text="Hello, world") return [section_dir] def setup(app): app.add_directive('hellosection', HelloSection) return { "version": "0.1.0", "parallel_read_safe": False, "parallel_write_safe": False, }|

And my |conf.py|

|import os import sys sys.path.append(os.path.abspath('./_ext')) project = 'extension-testing' copyright = '2022, Thomas Christensen' author = 'Thomas Christensen' extensions = [ 'hellosection', ] html_theme = 'alabaster'|

I'm having trouble even debugging this to find out where the error actually is. Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it?

Thank you,
Thomas Christensen
