pages build and deployment - New Jekyll Update about academicpages.github.io HOT 12 CLOSED

Well, a very silly solution is to remove all the excerpt tags from the frontmatter of all the pages. I removed the excerpt from the 404.md page and Jekyll got past it... and then failed on about.md. Unfortunately, excerpts are leaned on pretty heavily in this theme, so I doubt this is a great option. But perhaps if someone has only a page or two, this would suffice for them in the interim.

Turns out you only have to delete the line from three files (404, about, and non-menu-page). I am not sure what the long-term ramifications are, but after cleaning those three the website deployed.

Do you have excerpts on other pages, such as your own content? I have excerpts on all my research project pages which generates a project listing page.

EDIT: I removed the excerpt from just the 404, about, and non-menu-page as suggested and even though I have excerpts on many other pages, the site built properly on github pages. So, victory for all! :-)

I think the reason is github updated jekyll to v3.9.4. But I don't know how can I rollback

Installing this for the first time and these workarounds were really helpful. Excellent community support. I second that you only need to edit the 3 files from @WillJardee.

There's further discussion in Jekyll's repo (jekyll/jekyll#9544) with suggestions of using GitHub Actions to setup your own deploy action where you can force the rollback to 3.9.3 or to build locally on 3.9.3 and push to the _site directory. I'm not sure how viable either of these alternatives are, considering it's much more convenient to rely on the github-pages package to manage this.

Was anyone able to resolve the issue? I have already tried all sorts of things but to no avail.

1. Initially, I thought my recent push corrupted some core files, so I did a quick git checkout to a previous successful commit. That didn't work.
2. I tried to roll back to Jekyll 3.9.3 by first doing a clean uninstall of my current Jekyll, then removed Gemfile.lock, did a fresh installation of 3.9.3, updated gem bundler and finally performed bundle install. I was able to roll back but the deployment still didn't work for me. It did for some people, as mentioned here and here.
3. The warning points you to this link. Tried to follow the instructions but that didn't work either.

Note: I even reverted to a previous commit which originally deployed successfully. Now, that commit throws this error.

Me as well.

I have the same issue, will try the solution of creating a jekyll-github-pages.yml in the discussion shared by @marksherriff later

This worked for me! Thank you so much!

@WillJardee I did this and the site deploys without any problems. Thanks!
