I am using the jekyll with git-hub-pages on Win7, however no matter what I do the
jekyll serve --watch or
jekyll serve -w
won't start the server (the jekyll serve is working fine).
the produced error has something to do with
custom_require.rb:36 - cannot load such a file --wdm
How can I fix it?
As shown in the error message, wdm is not found.
First, update your gems
gem update
Then, manually install wdm
gem install wdm

I am currently trying to open an already created website made through Jekyll. I use the cd command through the terminal to get to the website file that I pulled from Github. Once I get to the file, I run bundle exec Jekyll serve and it shows this error message:
Dependency Error: Yikes! It looks like you don't have Jekyll-include-cache or one of its dependencies installed. In order to use Jekyll as currently configured, you'll need to install this gem. The full error message from Ruby is: 'cannot load such file -- Jekyll-include-cache' If you run into trouble, you can find helpful resources at https://jekyllrb.com/help/!
Jekyll 3.8.5 | Error: Jekyll-include-cache
So I then do gem install Jekyll-include-cache and the issue remains. Does anyone know how to fix this??
The error message means that Jekyll couldn't load the plugin properly.
Ensure that you have listed the plugin in your Gemfile:
# Gemfile
gem "jekyll-include-cache"
I've set up my site to build with Travis CI, and added a few plugins.
This is my Gemfile:
source "https://rubygems.org"
group :jekyll_plugins do
gem "github-pages"
gem "octopress-minify-html" # This one does not work on Travis
gem "jekyll-git_metadata"
gem "jekyll-paginate-v2"
gem "jekyll-tagging"
end
And this is my .travis.yml (with irrelevant information stripped)
language: ruby
cache: bundler
sudo: false
#install: use default `bundle install`
script: bundle exec jekyll build
after_success: .travis/deploy.sh
I tried building my site locally:
$ bundle update
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec jekyll build
And I can see the generated HTML files are minified.
But when I check pushed files from Travis CI, the HTML files are not minified. Also judging from build time, the plugin octopress-minify-html is not working (when it's working the build time is significantly longer).
I tried deleting my whole working directory and re-cloning from GitHub and this plugin is still working locally. I deleted Travis CI cache and let Bundler build everything again, but the plugin still doesn't work on Travis.
What went wrong on Travis?
You can force minification with octopress-minify-html by setting minify_html: true in your config file.
I'm trying to install Github Pages' Slate theme on my CentOS 7 VM so I can locally preview my new site using the bundle exec jekyll serve command.
I followed the instructions as best as I could.
I changed the theme minima to jekyll-theme-slate in my _config.yml file.
Then I changed gem "minima", "~> 2.0" to gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins in my Gemfile file.
After that (since these are their only instructions), I ran bundle exec jekyll serve and it told me I had gems that weren't installed (duh), and suggested running bundle install.
I ran bundle install, which told me there was a conflict in version types of the dependencies and it suggested that bundle update could potentially resolve that issue.
No problem, I ran bundle update. A few plugins/features actually reverted versions here, but I got the Slate theme installed on my machine now, version 0.0.4 for whatever reason.
After that, I ran bundle exec jekyll serve again. I got this error:
Configuration file: /home/peri/my-site/_config.yml
Configuration file: /home/peri/my-site/_config.yml
jekyll 3.4.3 | Error: Could not find a JavaScript runtime. See https://github.com/rails/execjs for a list of available runtimes.
In a way, that error makes sense. For a custom theme to work, I probably need a tool to run their custom scripts. But first, I noticed this extra section in the theme's installation instructions, which directly mentions being able to locally preview the site with that theme.
I downloaded the source, instead of cloning it...I don't need the .git stuff do I?
I edited the script/bootstrap file because /usr/local requires root and using sudo doesn't know about any binary called gem or bundle. I changed gem and bundle to their respective absolute paths and ran sudo ./script/bootstrap inside of slate-master.
Point of the story is, it didn't work for my home/peri/my-site directory when I ran bundle exec jekyll serve. Presumably, it's because they intended for the user's site to be integrated into their theme's source code? That doesn't seem intuitive or correct. So, I investigated ExecJS.
I installed it. gem install execjs
I added gem "execjs", "2.7.0" to my Gemfile file.
Got the same error as before.
How am I supposed to install this Jekyll theme?
Follow these steps after changing the theme in _config.yml:
Gemfile should have only this content:
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "github-pages"
remove bundler current config: rm -r .bundle/
remove Gemfile.lock: rm Gemfile.lock
Install local dependencies in an isolated folder just for this website: bundle install --path=vendor/bundle
You won't have post and page and home themes, you will need to use just default in all your posts.
Generate and run server: bundle exec jekyll s
Recently， I upgrade my jekyll server from 2.5 to 3.0 , However, it occur a problem:
i render my page on gitpage that is very successful, but when i render it on my local jekyll server, there has a error
my every post's route is /category/YYYY/MM/DD/postName.html (The category is chinese)
At the git page it was no problem
but when i use the localhost server , when i cilck these post anchors , It show no find this html file , and redirect to the 404.html
On local anchors's href such as http://localhost:4000/%E6%8A%80%E6%9C%AF/2016/04/04/array-function.html
and on the git page the href is http://numerhero.github.io/%E6%8A%80%E6%9C%AF/2016/04/04/array-function.html
it was my gitpage address , no any problem : http://numerhero.github.io
Try this:
Install Bundler gem install bundler
Navigate to your project's root cd path/to/project
Run bundle init (will create a Gemfile)
Edit your Gemfile:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'github-pages'
Run bundle install
Run bundle update (once and awhile)
Serve Jekyll with Bundler: bundle exec jekyll serve
Done!
Your problem must be related to your local dependencies, which must be different than GitHub Pages'. With Bundler, a dependency manager, you will make sure you have github-pages and all it's dependencies installed locally.
Run bundle update once and awhile to make sure you have the last versions installed.

Working with Jekyll for the first time, and it looks like the auto reload functionality (running jekyll --auto --server) is only triggered by updates to markdown files.
Is this the normal behavior? And is there any way to get changes to other types of files like css (I'm using scss) or html files in _layouts to trigger an auto-reload as well?
As of version 3.7 run jekyll serve --livereload.
As mentioned here, you need to downgrade the directory_watcher gem, which was recently updated with a breaking change.
sudo gem uninstall directory_watcher && sudo gem install directory_watcher -v 1.4.1
(Or alternatively use the latest master branch of jekyll, which is fixed to depend on the older version of directory watcher).
I have not found this to be the case, but perhaps you can update your version
git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/mojombo/jekyll.git
cd jekyll
gem build jekyll.gemspec
gem install jekyll
The problem with jekyll watch option is that only rebuild the _site directory,
I recommend you gulp sass
With it you can not only build the _site folder, but have a full browser reload automatically, whenever you hit ctrl+s in any file, the browser will reload.
If you're running it frequently, the Repla macOS app makes it easy to startup Jekyll so it automatically refreshes. After Repla is installed, you run it from the Jekyll blog's root directory and pass it the jekyll serve command. For example:
repla server "bundle exec jekyll serve --watch --drafts" -r "...done"
Repla will be configured to refresh each time ...done is printed in the console, which Jekyll prints when it finishes compiling your site.
Repla runs the Jekyll server process in a split below a browser split showing your site:
After Jekyll is running in Repla, you can also save the configuration to a file with ⌘S, shut it down by closing the window, and run it again just by double-clicking the file. In other words, you can start your Jekyll blog again next time just by opening the file, without involving the terminal at all.
Disclosure: I maintain the Repla app.
