blogdown 0.7 fails to place HTML from Rmd in public

[ConorIA]

I was concerned that the posts that are written in Rmd are missing from my website (site: https://conr.ca; code: https://gitlab.com/ConorIA/conr_ca).* I use the rocker/tidyverse Docker image as base and install blogdown from CRAN before running blogdown::build_site().

I can reproduce the issue on my laptop with blogdown 0.7, as well as the current git commit. In the tree output below, my Rmd files all have a _files folder, but none of them have an index.html file. The other pages, those that do have a corresponding .html file, were all vanilla markdown.

On my server (with blogdown 0.6, this issue is not present; all files are present in /public.)

cd public/post && tree                                                                                       academic @ master|…7

EDIT: Might be related to #305. I haven't set the global option for draft. Is it on by default?
It would appear not. Rscript -e "options(blogdown.draft.output = FALSE); blogdown::build_site()" gave the same result.

* Note: not missing anymore as I've rolled back to bookdown 0.6

@ConorIA Ah. That was due to a careless omission of the ! operator. Should be fixed now. Thanks for the report! You can install the development version via

devtools::install_github('rstudio/blogdown')

@mwaldstein FYI, the implementation for #305 was buggy. You need to use the current dev version of blogdown.

[ConorIA]

Thanks, @yihui!

I think the new dev version of blogdown is still a bit buggy in terms of this...

This is my problem. I have a .Rmd. If I Knit it by hitting the knit button in Rstudio, the resulting file is perfect. However, if I try to commit that change alone, the post is not displayed at all in netlify.

In order to get it to display on netlify, I first have to blogdown::build_site() (which is what you say in your book), but that function converts this:

into this:

Is there some other step that I should do other than blogdown:::build_site() In order to get the file to render properly?

By the way, serve site DOES display the file correctly, but doesn't rewrite the html version in content/post/ so doesn't really help in this case.

(.md files look fine on netlify)

@DataStrategist Please always show me the source (either a Github repo or just plain-text code here in the Github issue) when you run into problems. I cannot magically read the source text behind screenshots: https://yihui.name/en/2018/01/screenshots-vs-text/

Anyway, from your Github profile, thsi might be what you were talking about: DataStrategist/amitkohli.com@e48a6b5 No need to GRRRRR :) You still have to listen to me: don't use the Knit button -- it just won't work: https://bookdown.org/yihui/blogdown/workflow.html

This particular issue reported by @ConorIA has been fixed. I don't think your new issue is still relevant to his. Let's move to #169 (comment).

[DataStrategist]

Sorry for not putting my github repo... won't happen again. How embarassing that you read my commit message!!! LOL! It's just since I'm committing html, it's tough to see the changes so I'm actually working for work, and then on and off committing things here and feel like I"m going crazy doing the same thing three times!! :D Sorry, I'll try to not grrrrrrrrrrr.

I know the knit won't work... I was more just checking that the code was fine locally.

Moving to #169.

[yihui]

No worries. I'm sure we can figure it out.

[GuangchuangYu]

hi yihui, the issue seems still exists.

here is the repo and the output folder.

and the hugo version:

Hugo Static Site Generator v0.49.2/extended linux/amd64 BuildDate: unknown

I have tested with both CRAN (0.8) and github versions.

[ConorIA]

@GuangchuangYu, excuse me if I'm misreading something in your repo, but are you building with your Makefile? The line options(blogdown.draft.output = TRUE) will prevent the RMD files from rendering.

[yihui]

Right. Don't do this: GuangchuangYu/software@8bd164c

[GuangchuangYu]

There is no effect without the option. Any idea?

[GuangchuangYu]

just come across with digitalcraftsman/hugo-material-docs#84, and downgrade hugo to v 0.31 and everything works fine. 😿
