Github action fails about exhale

[Rotzbua]

This is a problem with breathe. It is incompatible with sphinx 7.2.
May be solved by breathe-doc/breathe#956 .

This was likely fixed by the latest release

Looks like you might have put a Path object in conf.py to exhale_args. Needs to be a string most likely. I can relax that in the future

Thanks for the information! So we're in a weird place with dependencies, #205 is trying to make things less restrictive. The reason: this project does not update frequently, and over time the restrictions proved pointless and also impeded users.

My rationale for that PR is that I do not want to prevent say, 3 months from now, when a newer version of breathe is out and works with sphinx 7.2+ (as an example), but exhale started forcing sphinx<7.2. It's a bit of a hand-waive, but the API between exhale and breathe does not change (or at least I hope it doesn't...).

@srbhp the way to fix this would be to make sure that you install both sphinx and breathe before exhale. For example, if you are using a requirements.txt, you might do something like

sphinx==7.1
breathe
exhale

or something similar. If that works for you then I will make sure to add some notes to the compatibility table explaining what this release will do in terms of version requirements, and the fact that I'm pushing some of this responsibility onto users now (so that I don't gridlock them down the road).

I'm very open to thoughts, but this repo is very much in "emergency maintenance only" mode...so I'm really looking for the solution that fits "does not completely break everybody" but also "makes less maintenance overhead for exhale".
