jekyll 3.8.4 | Error: File exists @ dir_s_mkdir - /jekyll/app/_site/tag/mytags

I am unable to build the jekyll site on Windows 10 using docker-compose up . I've looked at most SO posts 1regarding this error, but none of the solutions have worked for me.

The same project I can run it successfully on Mac OS

  • I tried to upgrade to jekyll-paginate-v2 2.0.0 as I am using jekyll-paginate 1.1.0

  • I am able to build the site using bundle exec jekyll serve. This command successfully creates the _site folder.

Solution

  • the root cause of why the website local dev environment is working on Linux but not on Windows: On Linux, folders with different cases are treated as different, on windows they are treated as the same. So while "INSPIRE" and "inspire" are different on Linux, they aren't on Windows. Unifying the writing of all tags solved the problem. There were also many more than just the INSPIRE/inspire tags that collided.

    Solution: unified all the tags
