Issues building github pages site #3

Closed joshuarubin closed 5 years ago

Just wondering if you ran into any issues with pages saying (on repo settings page):

Your site is having problems building: Page build failed.

I have the .nojekyll in the root of both my master and gh-pages branches.

If I push an empty commit to the gh-pages branch, things work fine.

Have to love the amount of detail in the GH-Pages error messaging.

So, interesting. Your _config.yml file is not in the root of your repo? What about your Gemfile?

I suppose we could add a Source environment variable, pointing to the directory Jekyll lives in.

So I'm not running jekyll, I'm using joshuarubin/hugo-deploy-gh-pages. I got this back from GitHub Support though (and it seems to work):

Hi Joshua,

Thank you for writing in to GitHub Support.

I see you're part of the Actions beta, and you're trying to trigger a Page build with an Action. That puts you right on the bleeding edge! đŸ˜„

Currently that behavior isn't supported, so the official advice is to wait until Actions has been rolled out to everyone and is no longer in beta.

Unofficially, I've heard talk of a somewhat hacky solution where the push back to GitHub, if it’s done with a Personal Access Token for your account, will build the site, but I haven't tried this myself so can't guarantee it.

If there's anything else I can do, give me a shout!

Cheers,

Matt R

Ahh, I see. Interesting—I haven't had a problem just using the provided GITHUB_TOKEN, but good to know.
