Cannot find module 'materialx.emoji'

[julien-deramond]

Description

mkdocs.yml contains 3 lines that are commented and that were originally here in the repo before being migrated to GitHub:

# - pymdownx.emoji:
  #    emoji_index: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.twemoji
  #    emoji_generator: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.to_svg

They have been commented because generated the following error while running mkdocs serve:

Error: MkDocs encountered an error parsing the configuration file: while constructing a Python object
cannot find module 'materialx.emoji' (No module named 'materialx')
  in "/Users/ju/ods-mkdocs-theme/mkdocs.yml", line 36, column 20

Haven't figured out how to fix this issue.

If you have any information to fix it or allow us to definitely remove these comments, don't hesitate.

As we declare mkdocs-material as a required dependency, by default mkdocs-material-extensions is also installed.

If anybody reproduce it, pip install mkdocs-material-extensions seems to solve the issue, but don't know if we need to add it clearly as a required dependency?

pip install mkdocs-material-extensions not works

As above. Installing mkdocs-material-extensions did not work for me.

After using which mkdocs, I realize the mkdocs binary is in /usr/bin/mkdocs, not the one in my venv, so mkdocs and pip install mkdocs-material-extensions happens in different virtual environment. I have solved this by removing /usr/bin/mkdocs, and only use mkdocs in my venv.

Hello I had changed those lines to the following : https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/reference/icons-emojis/#configuration so essentially in mkdocs.yml :

• pymdownx.emoji:
  emoji_index: !!python/name:material.extensions.emoji.twemoji
  emoji_generator: !!python/name:material.extensions.emoji.to_svg

This removed the mkdocs serve error for me. My understanding is that materialx is deprecated/replaced by a standard extension that is now included in Material theme....

Thats was exactly my problem, thanks for reporting...
