Page build fails
gunhansancar opened this issue · comments
hello,
I forked your theme and tried to edit one of the demo posts but after that it failed to build the page without giving the details.
I am new to the jekyll so what should I do? I don't want to install jekyll locally so,
I tried to fork jekyll-now theme and it works out of the box without installing anything, however it is not fancy as your theme. To use your theme should i install jekyll locally and then build and do something?
I recommend you install jekyll locally and try building it there. You should get some better error messages then.
I tried to avoid installing, but Installed anyway :)
Here is the message when I build locally
ERROR: YOUR SITE COULD NOT BE BUILT:
------------------------------------
Invalid date '{}': Post '_posts/2014-06-10-carte-noire-in-action.md' does not have a valid date in the YAML front matter.
Btw I just added one word to the post nothing else that I have changed.
Why avoid installing?
Can you paste the file into here.
I thought it will consume my time unnecessarily.
I found the root cause of the problem that I encountered.
I've used prose.io to edit files online.
It seems that when I commit changes by using prose.io then it clears the date field in the layout metadata of the post file.
You will probably have an easier time developing software if you install the tools you require locally, including a text editor.
Yes you are right 👍 But I am not developing just want to blog :) So I tried to keep it simple. I wanna just add blog posts directly without any fussing, so not gonna add or change the plugins, styles etc etc :)
Thanks anyway, really nice theme (I looked after the categories though.)
