Error reading page 'quickstart/writing-tool.md': Document is empty

[Tudor44]

Hello,

I notify this error on building locally the repo using the command mkdocs build

[nicola-corbellini]

Hi, have tried using mkdocs serve?

Hi, have tried using mkdocs serve?

Yes same error using main branch.

[nicola-corbellini]

@Tudor44 I tried to reproduce the error, but both build and serve work. Inspect the logs in the terminal, mkdocs should tell you which file is empty and its path. Otherwise, share the full error trace here please. Maybe you forgot some empty file somewhere..?

@Tudor44 can you tell us how did you installed mkdocs? Can you explain the steps you made after forking the repo? Also, what is your OS?

Hello @kodaline here your informations:

MKDOCS version line: mkdocs, version 1.5.3 from /Users/gdorsi/Desktop/docs-cat/env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mkdocs (Python 3.9)

PROCEDURE: I cloned the main branch and installed dependencies with venv environment using pip manager. pip install -r requirements.txt

[nicola-corbellini]

@Tudor44 do you have any chance to test it on a different OS to see if it's a document encoding problem?

@Tudor44 just for curiosity, can you remove the emoji in that file that gives the error and try again?

I have tried again with MacOS and you won't believe, but it works with this modification. Time to open an issue to mkdocs project then Xd Thanks for the intuition.

you are welcome, there is some issue in the parser I guess, in lxml, when dealing with emojis

@nicola-corbellini I guess we can close this issue, maybe we can put somewhere a note about it for macos users

[nicola-corbellini]

Actually this is a known issue we had previously. The emoji should be replaced with its html code. I'm opening an issue asap, if no one can before

[Tudor44]

I have prepared a draft. I fixed and tested writing-tool.md and works fine.

[nicola-corbellini]

Indeed, no need for a new issue. This one is the issue :rofl: Thank you! Can I set it ready to be merged?

[Tudor44]

I have set it ready to merge. I have finished the check, and only the emoji in writing-tool seems with no code entity.

[nicola-corbellini]

@Tudor44 awesome, thank you very much
