Is it possible to use ember-cli-addon-docs with an in-repo addon?

Question

I have an ember.js in-repo addon and would like to add documentation using ember-cli-addon-docs. Is this possible?

I installed the addon at application level and in my ember-cli-build.js I added:

'ember-cli-addon-docs': {
    documentingAddonAt: 'lib/my-addon',
},

but this does not work and I keep getting an error in my terminal: Cannot read property 'url' of undefined

Was anyone successful with a simmilar setup

This addon is quite peculiar.

It was initially designed to be used in other addons, and then hacked to be used in apps.

You are supposed to create an in-repo addon (you did this already), then reference it from your app's package.json like this:

  "ember-addon": {
    "paths": [
      "lib/my-addon"
    ]
  }
