Compiling an exercise with solution results in `WARNING: undefined label:` on sphinx 7 and latest sphinx-exercise release

[goekce]

Describe the bug

context
When I compile a simple example, I get WARNING: undefined label: using sphinx 7.2.6

expectation
I expected no errors.

bug
Here's an error message I ran into...

$ make html
...
writing output... [100%] test
/home/u/projects/rt-systems/test/source/index.rst: WARNING: undefined label: ex1
generating indices... genindex done
...
.

Reproduce the bug

1. create a virtualenv and install sphinx-exercise, sphinx-book-theme and myst-parser.
2. use sphinx-quickstart with default settings.
3. conf.py:
   • Add myst_parser and sphinx_exercise as extensions
   • change html_theme to sphinx_book_theme
   • source_suffix = { ".md": "markdown", }
4. rename index.rst to index.md and add test.md to the index
5. Use the following example:

# test                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
    
```{exercise-start}    
:label: ex1    
```    
and maybe you wish to add a figure    
```{exercise-end}    
```    
    
```{solution-start} ex1    
```    
test    
    
```{solution-end}    
```

Probably sphinx-exercise depends on sphinx < 6:

sphinx-exercise/setup.py

Line 29 in 9357fbb

"sphinx>=4,<6",

Somehow dependency is not listed in install deps:

sphinx-exercise/setup.py

Line 60 in 9357fbb

install_requires=["sphinx>=4", "sphinx-book-theme"],

@agoose77 did you maybe forget to release a new version after your commit?

[agoose77]

@goekce thanks for the ping. I didn't forget to make a release, but rather we need to coordinate one!

@mmcky, are you happy for me to e.g. make a 1.0.0 release of sphinx-exercise? (assuming CI etc still succeeds).

@mmcky, are you happy for me to e.g. make a 1.0.0 release of sphinx-exercise? (assuming CI etc still succeeds).

Thanks @agoose77 -- excited to see these improvements. Let me know if you need any testing prior to release etc.

Just wanted to add I was running into similar errors related to incompatibility in an environment with jupyterbook=1 sphinx=7. Installing from the main branch does seem to remedy things (pip git+https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-exercise.git). Would be super helpful to install an updated version from conda-forge.

[agoose77]

Finally we've made this release; some issues with codecov were holding us back.

thanks @agoose77 and @mmcky the release is on github, but seems it didn't make it to pypi or conda-forge. I opened a separate issue for that here #69
