I'm using gh-pages for depoyment for my jekyll site.
I've been trying to develop without having to delete/add the {{ site.baseurl }} paths back in before all the css, js, and img files for my sources every time I want to serve jekyll locally.
I'm getting a little stuck here as everyone says to pass an empty string like this:
jekyll serve --baseurl ""
But when I do this it generates the site ok but returns:
error: can't dup TrueClass. Use --trace to view backtrace
Can't seem to understand why I would be getting this error.
My _config.yml looks more or less like this:
url: "http://myjekyllsite.github.io/"
baseurl: "/my-baseurl"
I've linked my js and css files as well as added the path to my images like so:
<img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/img/image1.jpg">
The only plugin I'm using is jekyll-sass
Any ideas?
I didn't find a traditional way to fix the dup TrueClass, but I found a good enough way around it so I can develop locally without having to switch those paths each time.
In the guide for gh-pages to jekyll here: http://jekyllrb.com/docs/github-pages/
They specifically state to not have a trailing slash on your baseurl in your _config.yml. I found by not following their advice and using a trailing slash in _config.yml like so:
baseurl: /my-path/
I could have all my other links still use the {{ site.baseurl }} path just without the leading slash and use:
jekyll serve --baseurl '/' -w
So all my paths work just fine. Example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ site.baseurl }}css/sytle.css">
That way it works when I push up to gh-pages too.
