Build warnings for layouts

[echosa]

I'll start by saying I'm very new to jekyll, bundle, and ruby gems in general. That said, I'm attempting to add this theme to my Github Pages blog as a remote_theme following the instructions at https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/docs/quick-start-guide/#remote-theme-method

As a bit of backstory, I already had some trouble that I worked through. I made the changes that section of the quick start says to make, but bundle would error due to dependency issues. After some searching around, I ended up commenting out the gem github-pages line, commenting out everything relating to my current theme (the default minima), deleting Gemfile.lock, and then bundle install ran without issue.

Trying to bundle exec jekyll serve after that resulted in Dependency Error: Yikes! It looks like you don't have jekyll-include-cache or one of its dependencies installed. So, after a bit more poking around, I manually added that gem to Gemfile. I'm not sure why I needed to do that or if doing so was the right thing. Either way, after a bundle update, that error no longer happens.

So now, we get to my current issue. When I bundle exec jekyll serve, it seems like none of the layouts are found. From what I can tell, the layouts should already exist (or, at least,post should) in the remote theme. Here's the output and an example of one of the posts. I have no idea what's wrong nor how to continue troubleshooting it. It's probably something stupidly simple that I just don't know or understand, but I can't find it or figure it out.

`bundle exec jekyll serve` output

$ bundle exec jekyll serve

It's been a long, long time since I did anything with this blog. I think it's time to bring it back!
First and foremost, you'll notice a new look. I've moved away from using Octopress and am now just using straight Jekyll. For now, I'm using the default theme, Minima. I'll be keeping my eye out for a more full-featured theme in the future (specifically looking for one that handles tags). I'm open to suggestions!
Now, what about content? Well, for the most part, the content will be the same: programming, software, etc. I've got a couple of new ideas and series' in the works, though, so stay tuned!
I'm still getting used to the new site myself, so you might see it change in the near future as I poke, prod, and tweak it. Either way, it's good to be back, and I hope everyone enjoys the posts to come!

[mmistakes]

The theme doesn't have a post layout, that's why you're getting an error.
You'll want to use the layout: single.

All of the layouts available to the theme are documented here.

[echosa]

@mmistakes Thanks. I just tried that, but single isn't found, either. Here's the new serve output, the updated post, and my _config.yml so you can see that I've added the recommended default front matter.

It's been a long, long time since I did anything with this blog. I think it's time to bring it back!
First and foremost, you'll notice a new look. I've moved away from using Octopress and am now just using straight Jekyll. For now, I'm using the default theme, Minima. I'll be keeping my eye out for a more full-featured theme in the future (specifically looking for one that handles tags). I'm open to suggestions!
Now, what about content? Well, for the most part, the content will be the same: programming, software, etc. I've got a couple of new ideas and series' in the works, though, so stay tuned!
I'm still getting used to the new site myself, so you might see it change in the near future as I poke, prod, and tweak it. Either way, it's good to be back, and I hope everyone enjoys the posts to come!

Looks like the remote theme isn't properly configured. And since that's not installed, the layouts are obviously missing.

You'll know that the remote theme installed because Jekyll will output when you run build or serve. Something like this:

bundle exec jekyll build
Configuration file: /docs/_config.yml
            Source: /docs
       Destination: /docs/_site
 Incremental build: disabled. Enable with --incremental
      Generating...
      Remote Theme: Using theme mmistakes/minimal-mistakes

No idea if you're repo up on GH is current, but you need to remove theme: minima and add remote_theme: "mmistakes/minimal-mistakes".

[echosa]

GitHub is not current. I'm working locally on a separate git branch specifically for testing and switching to this theme. Everything I'm doing right now is local. I added my config to my previous message. In it, you can see that I did comment out the minima theme and add the remote theme. Yet, it isn't working. Is there something else to check?

[mmistakes]

Try bundle exec jekyll build --trace --verbose

It'll give you more info. My guess is the jekyll-remote-theme plugin is failing for some reason and it's not downloading the theme files. I had this issue months ago on Windows. But they updated the plugin and those issues went away.

As far as I can tell your issue is your Ruby environment and possibly the remote theme plugin, not anything specific to the theme or a config.

[echosa]

Great, thanks! Seems like I needed to add jekyll-remote-theme to my Gemfile. After doing that, I no longer have the layout warnings. Should adding that gem to the Gemfile be added to your installation instructions?

[echosa]

Ah, the instructions say to replace your Gemfile with just the source call and the github-pages gem. Doing that automatically pulls in the remote theme pluging. However, I still think the instructions are missing something. Step 2 is to add jekyll-include-cache to the plugins in _config.yml. However, that's not enough. gem "jekyll-include-cache" also needs to be added to the Gemfile and bundle update run to get it. Unless jekyll-include-cache is also supposed to automatically be puled down by github-pages, in which case it isn't.

[mmistakes]

Both jekyll-remote-theme and jekyll-include-cache are installed by GitHub Pages. If you pushed the repo up to GH Pages now and didn't include them (or a Gemfile), your site would still build.

It's when you develop locally things can get iffy if you don't install all the gems. jekyll-include-cache is a weird one because it's not enabled by default, which is why you need to explicitly turn it on in both the _config.yml and your Gemfile.

The theme docs can over cover so much. 99% of the issues with Jekyll aren't even Jekyll related... they're Ruby and getting damn gems to install properly.

[echosa]

Ok, cool. That all makes sense, and I've learned a ton. Thank you!

[ErikPillon]

The following worked for me:

Step 1: You need to add/modify the following lines in your _config.yml file

plugins:
  - jekyll-remote-theme

remote_theme: mmistakes/minimal-mistakes

Step 2. Add gem 'jekyll-remote-theme' to your Gemfile if building locally with the GitHub Pages gem.

Step 3: Run

bundle update
