Error with avatars in for loops/variable-defined usernames

[RDIL]

Describe the bug

Hi! I just started a site on github pages with jekyll and this plugin.

(page is located at https://cakebot.club/contributors.html )

It seems that in production, all the rendered avatars are the first avatar in the data set, not the defined ones

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Go to the link above
2. See error

Expected behavior

The avatars should match the data given, not just mine. @121jwang and @paramt 's avatars should be visible next to their names

Additional context

My markdown:

---
title: Contributors
layout: default
---

## Contributors

Cakebot would not be possible without the help, time, and dedication of the following people:

{% for contributor in site.data.contributors %}
  * {% avatar {{ contributor.github }} size=50 %} {{ contributor.name }} - @{{ contributor.github }}
{% endfor %}

data file (csv):

name,github
jumbo,RDIL
Tarsh,121jwang
Param,paramt

Thank you!

I'm facing the same issue. I'm using this with:

{% for post in paginator.posts %}
  {% include post_preview.html %}
{% endfor %}

In post_preview.html, I've got:

{% avatar {{ author.social.github }} %}

which doesn't work, but this works:

{% avatar benbalter %}

So apparently, it takes only the first name's photo when used within a loop, but any fixed username call within the loop works just fine.

@benbalter please take a look at this when you can :)

Have you tried the user= format as described in https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-avatar#passing-the-username-as-variable?

Sadly, it didn’t work :(

Interesting, not sure what I did but it looks to be fixed now.

I'm seeing the same issue here. It seems to trigger when I use {% avatar {{ foo }} %} in a layout file, but not if I do it in an article. It's almost as if a variable gets cached from some previously rendered page or something like that.

[kusma]

Here's a reproduction case: https://github.com/kusma/jekyll-avatar-issue-37-repro

Render the reproduction, and observe that bar.html renders correctly, but foo.html gets the avatar from bar.html instead of the right one. I think that supports the caching hypothesis.

@kusma Were you able to reproduce this issue with Jekyll 3.9?

[kusma]

Just tried, and no, it does not reproduce with Jekyll 3.9. So I guess there's some change in behavior in Jekyll 4.x that breaks this...

[kusma]

Since this seems unrelated to what the other users have experienced (Jekyll 4.x wasn't our in 2019), I decided to create a new ticked. So please ignore this ;)
