Pug not respecting Jekyll custom folder layout

[HaoZeke]

So I use a _pages folder setup where .html and .md files in _pages are compiled to the site root...

However when I place a pug file (eg. pug.pug) in _pages, it is outputted in the site as /_pages/pug/index.html instead of /pug/index.html

I suppose this is because the pug compiler outputs directly to the public folder instead of compiling to static html before processing with jekyll...

Any workarounds would be greatly appreciated..

Hi!

Strange error. I am not able to reproduce it.

Here is my project setup. Let me know if yours is any different.

Project Structure

• _pages/
  • sports/
    • baseball.pug
• _site/
  • sports/
    • baseball.html
• _config.yml
• Gemfile

_config.yml

source: "_pages"

_pages/sports/baseball.pug

p Baseball is a fun sport.

Gemfile

source 'https://rubygems.org'

group :jekyll_plugins do
    gem 'jekyll-pug'
end

The only thing I see that is different is that you have Jekyll generate folders with index.htmls for each page created. How did you do that?

Interesting!

So I tried with source: "_pages" That gave exactly what was expected... For the folders you just need to set the permalink style...

The problem I was facing can be reproduced using the old way of including folders, i.e:

include:

• _pages
• '_pages/.'

It's interesting but, not relevant to the plugin since it's depreciated anyway...

Again, thanks a ton...

Hi. There's a bit of an unforseen issue with using source to include pages...

So I have index.md and a 404.html in my site root... ie.

src/index.md src/_pages/pug.pug

Now pug is processed ok, but the index.md is getting left behind..

Sorry, fixed with include : ['_pages']

Glad you solved the issue :smile:
