From 709545dbcd0085f306a7de8bec8f4004af6c2881 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Santos Gallegos Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2020 18:25:46 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Mkdocs: default to "docs" for docs_dir This value has been the default since the start of the project https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs/blob/0.13.0/mkdocs/config/defaults.py#L44 We should respect that default value, (we should actually don't edit it at all https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org/issues/2483). So, instead of trying to guess the docs dir always, only try to guess it if the user doesn't have mkdocs.yaml file. This should avoid any backwards compatibility and avoid weird bugs to new users.
