Can't build docs in Windows

[anniryynanen]

I'm following https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/contributing/documentation/building_the_manual.html, but when I run ./make.bat html or sphinx-build -b html ./ _build/html it results in this error:

Extension error:
Could not import extension sphinx_tabs.tabs (exception: No module named 'pkg_resources')

Linux build seems to work fine, at least it got started. I applied requirements.txt in both.

Not sure if this helps but I was instructed to use this command in PowerShell in Windows:
$env:SPHINXOPTS='-j auto'; .\make html

Which works great for me.
Yes, should be in the docs as well. Would be nice.

I'm using git bash, I tried sphinx-build -j auto -b html ./ _build/html but I get the same error.

Which Version of Python do you use and did you install the setuptools?

I'm on Python 3.12.3. Installing setuptools fixed the issue!

[Piralein]

The problem should be fixed by upgrading our used sphinx-tabs version to 3.4.5.

Python 3.12:
Do not pre-install setuptools in virtual environments created with venv. This means that distutils, setuptools, pkg_resources, and easy_install will no longer available by default; to access these run pip install setuptools in the activated virtual environment.
easy_install, pkg_resources, setuptools and distutils are no longer provided by default in environments created with venv or bootstrapped with ensurepip, since they are part of the setuptools package.

Closing this as I'm unable to reproduce the issue on the latest version of the docs. And per Piralein's comment our used Sphinx tabs version has since been updated, and is currently on 3.4.7
