[Bug]: Conversion Error During Jekyll Build

[BryanGoble]

Operating System

Windows 11

Ruby Version

ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x64-mingw-ucrt]

Jekyll Version

jekyll 4.3.2

GitHub Pages Version

No response

Expected Behavior

I expected my site to be built successfully when I ran:

bundle exec jekyll build

Current Behavior

I'm running into an issue when using the latest version of Jekyll. I just started with a fresh install of everything (ruby, jekyll, and all dependencies). As you can see in the error log, I'm receiving some sort of conversion error. However, I scrapped/uninstalled everything then installed jekyll 3.9.3 and had no issues running the build/serving the site. So I then uninstalled everything again just to be sure, but ran into the same issue when using 4.3.2. Lastly, I did all of the steps again to install 3.9.3 then tried updating to 4.3.2 rather than starting clean, but yet again had the same issue.

Code Sample

I've just done a fresh install of ruby, jekyll, and all dependencies. Then ran:

bundle exec jekyll serve

[BryanGoble]

After some more testing, I found the issue is caused by the inclusion of Jekyll-Feed in Jekyll. I tried disabling the plugin in _config.yml, but no change. Only thing that's worked so far was a solution found in #7928 which added the ability to disable disk cache. Either modify the jekyll serve command to jekyll serve --disable-disk-cache or your _config.yml with disable_disk_cache: true.

Seeing as how the last release of Jekyll-Feed was 14 October, 2022, I'm not entirely surprised that there are issues now.

This isn't a real fix, but it solves my current issue.

Hey @BryanGoble I believe this is because your Gemfile.lock. you can delete it and then do

bundle install

and then serve

bundle exec jekyll serve

I was able to run your repo https://github.com/BryanGoble/bryangoble.com without any errors with ruby 3.2.2 and Jekyll 4.3.2.

This did not work for me.
Getting the following error: (same after installing jupyter)

  Conversion error: JekyllJupyterNotebook::Converter encountered an error while converting 'assets/jupyter/blog.ipynb':
                    No such file or directory - jupyter
                    ------------------------------------------------
      Jekyll 4.3.3   Please append `--trace` to the `serve` command 
                     for any additional information or backtrace. 
                    ------------------------------------------------

TL;DR. I am on Ruby 3.1.3 and Jekyll 4.3.3, but won't imagine that being the main issue?

Closing as the source code for the site in the original post is no longer accessible and there's a potential fix in the comments. Any new problems need to have their own issue filed for them.

[lvanveen]

Is there a fix for the second error, though? I also get the missing Jupyter error above when trying to deploy my site on GitHub.
