Programmatic API not getting results for pagination

[stevenvachon]

import Eleventy from '@11ty/eleventy';

export const compile = (templatePath) => {
  const elev = new Eleventy(templatePath);
  return await elev.toJSON();
};

await compile('./category.11ty.js'); //-> []

This is my category.11ty.js.

Even if I change the elev.toJSON() to elev.write(), still the expected result is not generated.

But when I run a proper build without the programmatic API, all of my category files are written to disk.

It's quite difficult to diagnose the problem with out more information. Can you describe what you are trying to achive and share a repo with the issue happening. If you can't share your main repo, create a new minimal repoduction repo and we can take a more detailed look. There are a ton of issues that can be caught by seeing how you've structured your project and how all the files are working togther.

I'm trying to write tests for templates that generate paginated results.

When you pass a single templatePath as input to Eleventy, it only processes that template. You can pass a glob or directory if you want the expand the scope and then filter the results from elev.toJSON()

[stevenvachon]

This doesn't answer the question, though. The template doesn't appear to be processed at all, let alone its multiple outputs.

to debug this you’ll need to supply the command you’re using to run node, the directory where you’re running the node command and the directory where the target template lives — a test case with all of this info would be easiest!
