Liquid not correctly seeing new tag

[joshkerr]

I'm getting an error in my site when using this plugin:

Liquid error: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

Here is my config.yml file parts for the plugin:

embedly:
api_key: my_key_removed_for_security_reasons
vimeo:
width: 500px

Hey Josh,

Do you have the json and domainatrix gems installed?
Also, could you try if the error persists with the kramdown markdown engine?
Just add markdown: kramdown to your _config.yml

[joshkerr]

Yes. I was able to get it working by running Jekyll --no-auto --no-server. For some reason running it with server causes it to fail.

Passing in the 500px didn't work either. It seems to ignore those options. (Which might be a clue to my difficulties.)

That's very weird, I'd assume that auto and server have no effect on the rendering process.

Also, I use width: 500 in my _config.yml for vimeo, without the px and this produces correct embeds for me.

Does --server work corrently if you don't use the embedly plugin?

I switched my jekyll install to octopress and the issue seemed to clear up. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
