Can't build locally

[mpariente]

When I try to run the code locally, it doesn't work. I've read several linked issues but couldn't find a solution.

What I tried/did:

• Upgraded fastpages
• Create .jekyll-cache folder. The error occurs after (missing .tweet-cache, if I create it, there is a new error I can't fix. Happy to provide the details if useful).
• sudo make build and sudo make server (suggested here in Fail to run local server from Debian #351. Same problem.
• Deleting my local copy and starting from scratch (we never know), same problem.
• Read this "solution" in Permission denied error running locally #370, no idea what it means, sorry.
• Tried make server with https://github.com/btahir/covid_dz (seemed to have similar problems in Cannot launch make server #227 , which have been solved): didn't work and with https://github.com/armsp/covidviz (coolest fastpage I saw): same problem

I'm a complete noob with Docker, jekyll and ruby deps and I'd really love some help on that.

Required information

1. Steps to reproduce the problem

Try sudo make server

[mpariente]

It's in the list of things I tried.. I detailed that part on purpose.

And I think that's a bad idea in general because it'll install deps with sudo, which not everybody wants.

[mpariente]

It seemed like a cache problem, so I looked into disabling the cache in jekyll, I added the disable_disk_cache: true to my _config.yml (see jekyll PR). The error changed but it still didn't work.

Then, I tried to find out where things were installed, hit this issue which suggested this fix:

gem update bundler
bundle install

Finally I hit the same problem of "Permission denied": ... Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /data/_site. After running mkdir _site, local deployment works.

Hopefully, this helps the next one(s) that has this problem.

[hamelsmu]

@mpariente thanks for sharing. I'll try to think of a way to fix this

[hamelsmu]

Do you have to keep removing the _site directory? I just pushed a change to Make that perhaps will help.

[mpariente]

I had to create it.
Now that it's created, I don't have to do anything when I want to rebuild again.

I also checked that I owned the folder and I did.

[hamelsmu]

ok thanks for sharing

[abarbosa94]

I had the same error and got it working after the mkdir _site inside my project repo.

Thanks for sharing!
