jekyll finds asset file from this plugin in site.pages

[Ankur Oberoi]

in my own jekyll site, i use the following code to help build a navigation:

{% assign sorted_pages = site.pages | sort:"order" %}

when i iterate over this collection, i surprisingly find an object in sorted_pages that looks like this:

  {
    "content":"@import \"jekyll-theme-primer\";\n",
    "dir":"/assets/css/",
    "name":"style.scss",
    "path":"assets/css/style.scss",
    "url":"/assets/css/style.css"
   }

it seems that the frontmatter in assets/css/style.scss in this plugin causes jekyll to interpret that file as a page in my site, which is polluting my navigation. this should not be happening. is there any reason for the empty frontmatter in that file?

this is quite the annoyance because this plugin comes with the default github-pages gem. the workaround is i could use a filter on the collection to exclude this page, but that's less clean.

{% assign sorted_pages = site.pages | where_exp:"page", "page.name != 'style.scss'" | sort:"order" %}

Really annoying issue. Anyone landing here in the future: this can be fixed by adding theme: null to _config.yaml.
