redirect from tries to acces front matter on static files

[djacquel]

Investigating on this stackoverflow question I've found that redirect from tries to acces front matter on static files.

Reproduce :

• new jekyll site (2.4)
• a collection with static files like .js or .css
• jekyll-redirect
• jekyll build

Error : /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/jekyll-redirect-from-0.6.2/lib/jekyll-redirect-from/redirector.rb:38:inhas_alt_urls?': undefined method data' for #<Jekyll::StaticFile:0x00000001baa4e0> (NoMethodError)

The Redirector:generate method at generate_alt_urls(site, site.docs_to_write) receive both collection files + static files, then method Redirector:has_alt_urls tries to access the unexisting method on statik file.

This is not reproduced in gh-page configuration as the generate_alt_urls(site, site.docs_to_write) doesn't exist.

I am able to reproduce this as well.

So we should check that it's Convertible or a Document. Thanks for the bug report!

I'm having a similar error, also using collections on our project. My steps:

1. Installed manually using gem install jekyll-redirect-from
2. Added the gem declaration to config.yml

Running jekyll serve produces the following:

$ jekyll serve

       Destination: /Users/aaron/Projects/styleguides-io/_site

Another example with image and pdf files located withing collections directory, which gives the same error if using jekyll-redirect-from
