Libdoc fails to open documentation on standard libraries

Robot Framework
1

With the latest version [7.5]

The documentation fails to open in VSCode browser for any of the standard libraries

Unless the Python package ‘markdown’ is manually installed in environment

Maybe that package could be added to the dependency list

Hi @spicard,

Which VSCode extension are you using?

The reason I ask is Robot Framework on it’s own has no integration with any IDE, the integration with IDE’s is provided by separate projects to Robot Framework, once we identify which VSCode extension you are using we help you find the right place/person to contact about this.

If you don’t know which extension you are using, start by filtering your VSCode extensions by the one’s you have installed and list the ones related to Robot Framework,

Yes, libdoc for generating standard libraries needs markdown module. It could be added as an optional dependency.

It could be added as an optional dependency.

AFAIK, this was mentioned in 7.5 release notes.
