[sphinx 1.5] _gdbm.error No such file or directory

@Titan-C It looks like there is still some issues… I updated sphinx-gallery to 0.1.7.

I copy paste the log file. Travis job is here: https://travis-ci.org/scikit-image/scikit-image/jobs/183569010

Why would you like to create a file in source/* during a build procedure? This would go against the idea of the configuration to generate all the files in a separate directory (namely build), no?

I am not sure why but this is definitely what the code is doing. IIRC we are using the default settings in sphinx-start and we don’t have this distinction of build and source folders.

This is what #115 was talking about indeed, @emmanuelle was saying:

I’m wondering if some developers/users have already successfully used sphinx-gallery for projects that have a separate source directory (when you answer “yes” to the following question in sphinx-quickstart " > Separate source and build directories (y/n) [n]: y")

Full disclosure this is the kind of sphinx details that I have no clue about, if you have references that explain this a bit I am interested. It seems like we fixed #115 through a kludge and we need to understand this build/source folder more if we want to support it going forward.

Fixed in #190
