Outdated list of branches in project settings

[donmccurdy]

Details

• Read the Docs project URL:
  • https://readthedocs.org/projects/deckgl/
  • https://readthedocs.org/projects/pydeck-carto/
• Read the Docs username (if applicable):
  • https://readthedocs.org/profiles/donmccurdy/

Note that both projects use the same GitHub repository, in the two subfolders below:

https://github.com/visgl/deck.gl/tree/master/bindings

Expected Result

We hadn't updated our Read the Docs sites for a while, and our builds currently fail with errors. Those errors are presumably our own fault, and I'm working on fixing them and getting the sites republished. My intended workflow would be:

1. Push changes to a branch, donmccurdy/pydeck-dev
2. Build from branch, observe errors
3. Fix errors, push to branch, repeat

Actual Result

In both projects Read the Docs currently shows an outdated list of git branches, not including any of the branches I've created since last Friday. Without that, I'd need to push these changes to master, and since this is a large shared repository, I'd much rather not do trial-and-error on the master branch.

Is there something I can do to force Read the Docs to refresh the branch list, or to start a build from a branch that isn't currently listed? Is this a bug, or user error? I don't think we have any web hooks enabled, we push builds manually. Thanks!

Go figure, the branch has just appeared in the list! 😅

I don't think I did anything to cause it to appear now, I just created this branch today, but I'd been looking for a previous branch since Friday... In any case, I am unblocked, but will keep this open in the hope of learning what might have happened.

I'm happy that this issue is solved. I think it was probably a network blip or a Celery task that wasn't triggered for some reason. Let us know if it happens to you again.
