KeyError: preventing docs building

[HKaras]

I am currently using autoapi to generate the documentation for my project . The docs build with no issues on my laptop however on github actions I keep running into the following error:

Using python 3.10 or 3.12, autoapi 3.0.0 and sphinx 7.2.6 Is this a known error with a simple fix. Am I doing something wrong?

I think was able to resolve this. It seems like sphinx-autoapi was using cached docs from a previous run of sphinx with old source code. After removing the autoapi folder with rm -rf docs/autoapi, the docs are able to build successfully.

@HKaras Is this still an issue for you? Have you tried clearing the cache like @stxue1 suggested?
