WARNING: 'myst' reference target not found

[iot49]

The following syntax should create a list to a local file:

[Title](./file.pdf)

When I do this in an md file in Jupiter, and open with the preview, everything works as expected: the link is displayed, and clicking on it opens a new browser window showing the contents of the pdf.

However, running jupiter-book build Doc gives a warning:

Doc/example.md:3: WARNING: 'myst' reference target not found: ./file.pdf

and the link is not created in the final html.

Version information:

Jupyter-Book v0.12.1
Sphinx v4.3.2
myst v0.15.2

Heya, this is now handled in myst-parser v0.17: https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/develop/_changelog.html#markdown-link-resolution-improvements

Hopefully this will make its way up to jupyter-book in the not too distant future

hi; am running into this as well

is there any known workaround until myst-parser is upgraded in the jb dependencies list ?

[P-N-L]

I am still experiencing this problem.

I am using JupyterBook v1.0.0, which requires myst-parser<3,>=1

I am also running into this. Is there any reason why the JupyterBook dependencies can't be updated to e.g. myst-parser>=3?
