jekyll broke after 2.5 upgrade

[nicodev3]

I just updated jekyll to the latest 2.5 and when i "jekyll serve" i have the following

WARN: Unresolved specs during Gem::Specification.reset:
      redcarpet (~> 3.1)
      jekyll-watch (~> 1.1)

What's wrong ?

I tried to uninstall and reinstall some gems but had to rollback to jekyll 2.4.0

[LubomirGeorgiev]

Ref: #3068

Go back to 2.4.0

[parkr]

@LubomirGeorgiev This is a separate issue.

The mercenary/program file is there, so it's not an issue with Jekyll or Mercenary.

It looks like there are conflicting gem versions. If you use Bundler, you should see this problem go away. Otherwise, try gem cleanup.

[LubomirGeorgiev]

Are you going to fix so that it can be used without Bundler?

[parkr]

Are you going to fix so that it can be used without Bundler?

It works fine on my machine without using Bundler, and this is the first I've heard of such an issue. The problem may have to do with the use of $LOAD_PATH in Mercenary, but it's more likely an issue with RubyGems and Kernel#require.

[persand]

@nicodev3 @GeneLocklin

Are you using Bundler to manage gems? Then you have to run:

$ bundle exec jekyll s

Not:

$ jekyll s

[nicodev3]

@persand : yes it works this way, thanks

[parkr]

Please update Mercenary to v0.3.5. Does it fix the problem?

[ghost]

@parkr updated to 0.3.5. new error:

@persand thanks for the tip. will try and report back as soon as i have a chance.

[internaut]

I can confirm this error. Mercenary 0.3.5. doesn't fix this issue.

[nicodev3]

doesn't fix here.

[parkr]

Can you investigate what's going on with your $LOAD_PATH variable? We use the $LOAD_PATH. Maybe it has to do with this: https://github.com/bundler/bundler/blob/8c7283921ea444528e0bb333efd52ff518a0dbb9/lib/bundler/shared_helpers.rb#L103

[nicodev3]

I am not a ruby specialist, so if someone else find the solution. At this moment i'll stick with bundle exec jekyll serve who is working. Made an alias in my .zshrc file, so it's not annoying

[internaut]

Same with me. Furthermore, bundle exec jekyll serve doesn't work with my installation either. It fails loading mini_magick, which I need in my customized version of the image_tag plugin.
How do I need to set the $LOAD_PATH variable? Is it a shell variable? To which destination do I need to set it?

[parkr]

Nothing you can do about $LOAD_PATH right now – just needs to be preserved in bin/jekyll around the Bundler call. bundle exec should work – do you have mini_magickin your Gemfile?

[DomT4]

Same issue here. The latest version of Jekyll absolutely refuses to serve pages. I even removed all the gems I had installed and rebuilt afresh and still hit the same issue.

~> jekyll serve
WARN: Unresolved specs during Gem::Specification.reset:
      redcarpet (~> 3.1)
WARN: Clearing out unresolved specs.
Please report a bug if this causes problems.

~> redcarpet --version
Redcarpet 3.2.0

bundle exec jekyll serve does seem to work for now.

[internaut]

@parkr Thanks! After modifying my Gemfile, bundle exec ... works for me now, too. Nevertheless, the original bug remains :(

[parkr]

Yep, I figured out why! Working on a fix but the bundler team is so far opaque about it.

[djacquel]

Same issue here on Ubuntu 14.04, ruby 1.9.3, Jekyll 2.5.x, github-pages 29

/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/jekyll-2.5.2/bin/jekyll:21:in `block in <top (required)>': cannot load such file -- jekyll/version (LoadError)
    from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/mercenary-0.3.5/lib/mercenary.rb:18:in `program'

    from /usr/local/bin/jekyll:23:in `load'
    from /usr/local/bin/jekyll:23:in `<main>'

This is fixed when I delete the Gemfile that is :

source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'github-pages'

But even an empty Gemfile makes Jekyll crash.

[parkr]

That's due to the bundler integration... hm. What happens when you have a Gemfile and run bundle exec jekyll build --trace?

[djacquel]

bundle exec jekyll build --trace build = OK

[arlen43]

@DomT4 you can simply uninstall redcarpet 3.2.0 to fix that issue. Prompt has been said.

Run gem cleanup or run bundle exec jekyll serve in whatever directory you have your site's Gemfile.

[sr-murthy]

Hi

I had the same problem (it's OK now!) after I had added a Gemfile to my local static Jekyll site with the content

source 'https://rubygems.org'
require 'json'
require 'open-uri'
versions = JSON.parse(open('https://pages.github.com/versions.json').read)
gem 'github-pages', versions['github-pages']

and ran bundle install, followed by (after a lot of content changes) jekyll build. I got the following error

WARN: Unresolved specs during Gem::Specification.reset:
  redcarpet (~> 3.1)
WARN: Clearing out unresolved specs.
Please report a bug if this causes problems.
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/jekyll-2.5.3/bin/jekyll:21:in `block in <top (required)>': cannot load     such file -- jekyll/version (LoadError)

Could someone please explain what bundler does, because I'm still not sure, and what its relationship to jekyll is?

Thanks in advance.

[themestechnology]

1. try to install the gem file listed under WARN i.e. gem install redcarpet
2. delete gemfile.lock

[themestechnology]

try npm i and then bundle exec jekyll serve

[ghost]

I have the same problem ,but when I tried gem cleanup and bundle exec jekyll serve ,I got the output.

❓

[themestechnology]

Have you tried removing octopress or even removing all gems and starting over.

# gem list --no-version | xargs gem uninstall -aIx

[envygeeks]

Show us your Gemfile and update your github-pages.

[ghost]

problems solved maybe I should usecd .. to bundle install

[themestechnology]

How?

[swirlsnap]

Jekyll broke for me as well, and now its not able to parse my CSS? cryptotap.com -- got the same error as OP -- bundle exec jekyll serve works, but now my whole sites formatting is broken. Funsies.

[parkr]

@swirlsnap Try the latest 3.0 beta.

Change the line 82 in

to

FileUtils.rm_rf(dest_path) if File.exist?(dest_path)

This must be something to do with my _site directory.

Conclusion: jekyll 2.5.3 works!!

[Pajamaman]

Can anyone explain why bundle exec jekyll serve works but jekyll serve does not?

Edit: uh, nevermind.

[parkr]

@Pajamaman bundle exec makes sure you have the right versions of everything. :)

[envygeeks]

Gem does too @parkr since quite a while now (sometime last year -- it will use the Gemfile,) don't include a path @Pajamaman and bundler will install to the system, you can also force it with --system if I remember right, we do on our Docker images so we can pre-spawn.

[willianribeiro]

Works for me when I added the Gemfile posted by @chaitanyav at the root of my jekyll project, and after it executed the command bundle install. Thank you! (:

[hanserino]

Worked for me after I installed Bundler by running $ bundle install and then $ bundle exec jekyll serve

[hanserino]

@robotutu I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean

[suriyaa]

@parkr Still the same problem on newer versions of Jekyll.

I need to run: bundle exec jekyll serve!
