missing docstrings of methods

[emanueleromito]

Hi guys. Thanks for releasing and mantaining pdoc.

In my codebase, I have a class that inherits from an abstract class, and within this derived class, I have methods named "compute" that are decorated or modified by a wrapper. However, when generating the HTML documentation using pdoc, I noticed that the docstrings associated with these "compute" methods are missing in the generated documentation.

I have verified that the docstrings are present in the source code and are correctly formatted. However, they are not appearing in the generated HTML documentation. This issue seems to be specific to the "compute" methods within the derived class, as the docstrings for other methods are being displayed correctly.

Have the same problem: any decorated method of any class inherited from abstract object has missing docstrings in generated HTML documentation. Any plans to fix it?

I am having the same issue: any method decorated with @ is omitted in the documentation

The behavior is based on this logic:

pdoc/pdoc/__init__.py

Lines 1045 to 1059 in d1136ea

	public_objs = []
	for _name, obj in _getmembers_all(self.obj):
	# Filter only *own* members. The rest are inherited
	# in Class._fill_inheritance()
	if ((_name in self.obj.__dict__ or
	_name in annotations) and
	(_is_public(_name) or
	_is_whitelisted(_name, self))):
	if _is_blacklisted(_name, self):
	self.module._context.blacklisted.add(f'{self.refname}.{_name}')
	continue
	obj = inspect.unwrap(obj)
	public_objs.append((_name, obj))

pdoc/pdoc/__init__.py

Lines 993 to 1018 in d1136ea

	def _getmembers_all(obj: type) -> List[Tuple[str, Any]]:
	# The following code based on inspect.getmembers() @ 5b23f7618d43
	mro = obj.__mro__[:-1] # Skip object
	names = set(dir(obj))
	# Add keys from bases
	for base in mro:
	names.update(base.__dict__.keys())
	# Add members for which type annotations exist
	names.update(getattr(obj, '__annotations__', {}).keys())
	results = []
	for name in names:
	try:
	value = getattr(obj, name)
	except AttributeError:
	for base in mro:
	if name in base.__dict__:
	value = base.__dict__[name]
	break
	else:
	# Missing slot member or a buggy __dir__;
	# In out case likely a type-annotated member
	# which we'll interpret as a variable
	value = None
	results.append((name, value))
	return results

I don't know if it solves it, but now that inspect.getmembers_static() is available, we should probably see to using that instead of the above custom logic. Can somebody try it?
