space-hash causing build to fail

[joshRpowell]

using the experimental branch

running middleman contentful --rebuild with .[app]-site-hash present in root i get the following error:

deleting the .[app]-site-hash from root allows the build to run without issue:

any thoughts as to why the site-hash file would interfere with my webpack build?

here is my config.rb:

activate :directory_indexes
activate :autoprefixer

# With no layout
page '/*.xml', layout: false
page '/*.json', layout: false
page '/*.txt', layout: false

Hey @joshRpowell,

As promised, a DEPLOYING file has been added to document platform specific issues.

It's currently being reviewed and will be merged ASAP.

https://github.com/contentful/contentful_middleman/pull/112

Cheers

[dlitvakb]

This has been merged.

Cheers

@dlitvakb I don't really see how #112 was related to this issue. I'm having the same problem here: Apparently external_pipeline gets triggered when running bundle exec middleman contentful.

@joshRpowell were you able to fix this issue?

[dlitvakb]

Hey @crtvhd,

You should add the .*-site-hash to your .gitignore.

The idea of the DEPLOYING file, is to give users a chance to share deployment platform specific solutions, e.g. "When deploying on Netlify, do such and such to avoid seeing X". It "solves", this issue because this was a platform specific problem that @joshRpowell got to fix, and that's why this document was provided.

The document as of now is currently empty, but I'd love for @joshRpowell to share his solution.

Cheers

@crtvhd I have a PR open for Netlify the DEPLOYING file.

when I need to update Contentful data I have to remove the site-hash

rm -r .*-space-hash

then run

middleman contentful --rebuild
