does Sphinx autosummary work with the MATLAB domain?

I'm trying to generate docs for a toolbox of MATLAB functions, but it doesn't seem that autosummary can find the functions even though I have the base directory correctly set. See this post on StackOverflow for the original question.

I will try to take it look at it next year. I haven't tried the autosummary feature before, so hopefully this will be a nice addition to the MATLAB domain.

One thing to try is sphinx-build -vP . _build from your docs folder, which will increase verbosity and run the Python PDB debugger on exception.

No exceptions occur when sphinx-build is run; the only item related to autosummary is the following:

WARNING: [autosummary] failed to import 'mytoolbox.func1': no module named mytoolbox.func1

Sorry, but evidently the autosummary extension will not work with the present version of sphinxcontrib.matlabdomain. I took a very brief look at it, and it may take a while for me to implement. If anyone else has the time, contributions are welcomed.

Which was the last working version? Is it possible to switch to that one?

Any news on this?

[joeced]

No, sorrry. No news. I have had very little time to work on this project.

First, thanks for the all the work already done on the matlab domain.

As a new user of both sphinx and the matlab domain, I think it would be nice to mention this issue in the Readme, as it seems most sphinx tutorials and usecases assume that autosummary is usable (or apidoc / autogen which seem to depend on autosummary).
