Viewing the new site in a local environment on a Windows machine

[kateefly]

@kateefly's test failed, @sgolds15 's succeeded. @kateefly will need to run a clean install to see if that fixes the issue and possibly test with someone else with a Windows environement. See pr #279 for more details

I'm not sure if this is the same issue that I'm having, but when I tried to open the site locally (windows) I got this error:

error `/' not found

I found this (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56100280/how-to-fix-error-not-found-error-about-jekyll-in-localhost4000), and commenting out the baseurl line worked for me. I'm not sure if we need that line?

Hi @plampron2, I think if you keep (i.e., don’t comment out) the baseurl line, do a bundle exec jekyll serve, then navigate to http://localhost:4000/Sandbox/ in your browser, you should be able to see it. Does your terminal output say something like Server address: http://127.0.0.1:4000/Sandbox/?

The baseurl should be set in this case since the repo lives in the /Sandbox subpath of the dlfmetadataassessment.github.io domain. We will need to comment out that line for the production site, though.

Thanks @sgolds15 that did work. I've never had to do that before with the sandbox!

I should add that I can view the new site on my computer and I'm running a Windows machine

So I think I found the problem and it's an odd one - it's not Windows, it's Git Bash. When I try to view in a local environment using Git Bash, it fails. When I use Command Line, it succeeds. Are others using Git Bash or something else?

I've been using the command line
