How to properly configure sphinx so that it sees my files?

Question

Python

I create a dock for my project which lies in /home/projects/dev/gh_project inside the api_middleman folder for which I make a dock in the folder /home/projects/dev/gh_projec/ there are source and build folders in the config I wrote this

# Configuration file for the Sphinx documentation builder.
#
# This file only contains a selection of the most common options. For a full
# list see the documentation:
# http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/config

# -- Path setup --------------------------------------------------------------

# If extensions (or modules to document with autodoc) are in another directory,
# add these directories to sys.path here. If the directory is relative to the
# documentation root, use os.path.abspath to make it absolute, like shown here.
#
import os
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('../gh_project'))
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('/home/projects/dev/gh_project'))
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('/home/projects/dev/gh_project/api_middleman'))
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('/home/projects/dev/gh_project/api_middleman/app'))


# -- Project information -----------------------------------------------------

project = 'MIS'

# The full version, including alpha/beta/rc tags
release = '0.0.0.1'


# -- General configuration ---------------------------------------------------

# Add any Sphinx extension module names here, as strings. They can be
# extensions coming with Sphinx (named 'sphinx.ext.*') or your custom
# ones.
extensions = ['sphinx.ext.todo', 'sphinx.ext.viewcode', 'sphinx.ext.autodoc']

# Add any paths that contain templates here, relative to this directory.
templates_path = ['_templates']

# The language for content autogenerated by Sphinx. Refer to documentation
# for a list of supported languages.
#
# This is also used if you do content translation via gettext catalogs.
# Usually you set "language" from the command line for these cases.
language = 'ru'

# List of patterns, relative to source directory, that match files and
# directories to ignore when looking for source files.
# This pattern also affects html_static_path and html_extra_path.
exclude_patterns = []


# -- Options for HTML output -------------------------------------------------

# The theme to use for HTML and HTML Help pages.  See the documentation for
# a list of builtin themes.
#
html_theme = 'agogo'

# Add any paths that contain custom static files (such as style sheets) here,
# relative to this directory. They are copied after the builtin static files,
# so a file named "default.css" will overwrite the builtin "default.css".
html_static_path = []

html_show_copyright = False
html_show_sphinx = False

in the /home/projects/dev/gh_project folder I run the sphinx-build source/ build/ command, it works and creates everything I need, but then when I press make html
I get errors in the logs

Answer 1

in conf.py it was necessary to registersys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('../..'))
