This happens because webrick is no longer a bundled gem in Ruby 3.0. From https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2020/12/25/ruby-3-0-0-released/:

The following libraries are no longer bundled gems or standard libraries. Install the corresponding gems to use these features.

sdbm

webrick

net-telnet

xmlrpc

Adding gem "webrick" to my Gemfile solves the problem, but Jekyll should include it in its gemspec.

I don't have experience with Ruby dependency management. Does adding the webrick gem definition to a Jekyll site's Gemfile cause issues in ruby < 3.0? Is the optimal approach to address this issue documentation that users on ruby 3.0+ should use bundle add webrick before they use jekyll serve?

Clayton Smith · Answer 11 · Sat Jan 16 2021 08:35:45 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@joaroque It looks like you've got a typo in the gem name. It should be "webrick".

When I use the bundle add webrick line I get Could not find command "add". I made sure that I am running the latest bundler.

Robert Weber · Answer 18 · Thu Mar 25 2021 23:05:23 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Solution: Add 'webrick' to the gemfile as a stand alone ...

gem 'webrick', '>=1.7.0'

Note. Maximum ruby = 2.7.1 per https://pages.github.com/versions/ as of 03/24/21
But, this works w ver 3.0.0
bundle update ... check!
jekyll serve --watch --baseurl "" --port 4000 -o ... check!
Thx!

After adding webrick, the error 'listen-3.2.1 requires ruby version ~> 2.2, >= 2.2.7, which is incompatible with the current version, ruby 3.0.0p0' raised...

Please note, as @persistz suggested, after

bundle add webrick

it is advisable to run

bundle update

to make sure other dependencies are updated to work with the new Ruby 3.0 version.

Both bundle exec jekyll serve and jekyll s work for me ; despite, I'm getting a incompatible library version for http_parser.rb when appending the --livereload flag to the serve command, hence live reload is not active.

Hello `highnze`: Check the solution again. If you visit the GitHub `dependency` page you'll see the current "authorized" list of dependencies to add to your projects' Gemfile for "remote" viewing via GitHub pages. C=> https://pages.github.com/versions/ Notice Ruby ver 2.7.3 does NOT require the `webrick` dependency. However, if you switch to Ruby 3.0 or better locally, you'll need to add the `webrick` dependency to your Gemfile to get the Jekyll server to work "locally". As only the GitHub pages staff developers can update the guidance page for dependencies, I personally cannot tell you to just "add webrick" to your Gemfile. But, in secret ... I have done so locally on my development machine and have successfully committed to the master remotely with no other ramifications. Robert

Hello `highnze`: Try manually adding the dependency to your `Gemfile` via `Visual Studio Code`. When you then next run `bundle update` from the command line of your Terminal app pointed to the folder housing your project ... The dependency will be "picked up" by the `bundler` app via the updated `Gemfile` and will then show up in your `Gemfile.lock` file upon execution of the code. You can also see which version of `bundler` you are using there, as well. If you are going to leap ahead and install Ruby 3.0 or higher locally, you might as well leap ahead and install Bunder 2.0, as well. Robert

Clayton Smith · Answer 43 · Sun Nov 21 2021 21:59:05 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I have no idea what changed to require this.

It's necessary because Jekyll depends on WEBrick, and WEBrick is no longer a bundled gem in Ruby 3.0: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2020/12/25/ruby-3-0-0-released/

I fixed this by adding WEBrick to Jekyll's gemspec in #8524, but it's been almost a year and it has yet to be included in a Jekyll release. 😢 The workaround is to manually add webrick to your Gemfile.

Is there something about this issue that makes it harder to fix than it seems? Seems like a one liner?

The fix was indeed a one-liner. The trouble is that there has not been a feature release in more than a year. There was a bug fix release (4.2.1) in September, but it did not include #8524.

It would appear that it is still happening. Thankfully @argilo 's fix works still.

Wow! Already lost almost two hours because of that. For most of it I actually thought it was a problem with docker (I'm using docker-compose) since building was very long... at some point I left the container running long enough for the building to end with this error, which led me here! I just added gem "webrick" as you suggested, run docker compose down then docker compose up again and voilà! Works pretty fine, thanks sooooo much @argilo !!

Why is this issue closed? Dozens of comments in the lines of "fixed! works for me, thanks!" does not mean a problem is resolved.

My environment is a WSL2 Ubuntu LTS (meaning Ubuntu 22.04 running on Windows 10 or 11).

I used the bundler approach and I don't use the root account, so my step by step was this:

$ sudo apt-get install ruby-full build-essential zlib1g-dev #this is the only time sudo should be needed
$ gem install --user-install bundler
$ mkdir user.github.io
$ cd user.github.io/
$ bundle init
$ bundle add jekyll

$GEM_HOME on a vanilla install is an empty string so this is mandatory, or bundler will invoke sudo:

$ bundle config set --local path 'vendor/bundle'

This command erased my existing Gemfile and .gitignore, I regret following the site's instructions:

$ bundle exec jekyll new --force --skip-bundle .

$ bundle install
$ bundle exec jekyll serve

That last command will fail and lead me to one and a half hour learning about ruby, gems, bundler and ultimately to this issue.

There's a missing step in the instructions somewhere before bundle install which is:

$ bundle add webrick

The default version in this particular environment is currently Jekyll 4.2.2 which does not include webrick in the jekyll.gemspec and therefore it doesn't get added to Gemfile.

#8524 did not fix this issue so I don't understand why it's closed.

This issue will keep happening for everyone until they reach a version where this is fixed, which will take a lot of time.

The very least would be a document notice, but that has been proposed but not implemented.

Hello: Check out the Git Hub dot io “recommended” version list for Git Hub Pages. The “recommended” version of Ruby is still sub 3.0. If you update your copy of Ruby to a version post 3.0, you’ll need the webrick gem to solve the flow. Robert

That pull request did fix the issue, however it was only merged into the master branch (which has not made it into a release yet) and was not backported into a 4.2.x bug-fix release.

Given that Ruby 3.0 was released 1.5 years ago and a large number of people are running into this issue (as evidenced by the number of comments on this issue), I think the fix should be added to a 4.2.3 release. Perhaps @ashmaroli could arrange that?

Ashwin Maroli · Answer 66 · Mon Jun 20 2022 21:37:21 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I think we should just fast-track the release of 4.3.0 instead. /cc @jekyll/core

Clayton Smith · Answer 67 · Mon Jun 20 2022 21:42:03 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

That works. As long as the newest available release has the fix, the problem should be resolved for most users.

Parker Moore · Answer 68 · Tue Jun 21 2022 02:46:59 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@ashmaroli Release 4.3.0 when ready. Happy to review release notes at your convenience!

Iuri Guilherme · Answer 69 · Tue Jun 28 2022 00:14:53 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I still argue for adding webrick to all affected versions in jekyll.gemspec. The reason I didn't made a pull request for that in each of the affected branches is I still can't get rbenv to work (I'm new to Ruby) so I'm not confident I'm patching the right versions.

I am almost sure that many people will keep using 4.2.x for some time, regardless of the website telling them to upgrade. Lots of people, lots of different OSs and possible environments.

Travis Downs · Answer 71 · Sun Aug 21 2022 01:12:37 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

This has been fixed, but do I understand correctly that the fix is not yet in any released version of Jekyll?

Clayton Smith · Answer 72 · Sun Aug 21 2022 02:57:51 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

That's correct. The fix was merged into the master branch in January of 2021, but has yet to make it into any release.

Hi, I am not familiar with ruby :( I have just installed Jekyll like described https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/macos/
and I have the mentioned problem with jekyll server. Where should I run $ bundle add webrick?

EDIT:
I have tryied to install gem install --user-install webrick but it installed for ruby version 3.1.0 folder, where by version of ruby is 3.1.2.

@argilo I have the same problem with Ruby 3.2.1 on macOS. Adding webrick to Gemfile doesn't help. Jekyll 3.6.3. Upgrading to Jekyl 4.3.2 solved the problem.

I added webrick.

Still getting the following error:

Jekyll 4.3.2 Please append --trace to the serve command
for any additional information or backtrace.

Going to take a break before I mess anything up further. Posting if anyone has a solution.

If/when I figure out the issue I'll reply to this comment.

Going for a walk. Thanks!

Mine threw the error but said JSON instead of webrick. i did bundle add json instead and things seem to be working great. command is still processing though.

I can confirm, I had the same issue and bundle add json fixed the problem.
