It's a bit more complicated. Removing the command line options reveals that it needs jekyll-import. After installing that, I still get the message:

You must install the 'jekyll-import' gem version > 0 to use the 'jekyll import' command.

I have jekyll-import 0.21.0 installed.

Does jekyll --help show import under subcommands?

[sproctor]

jekyll --help
jekyll 4.3.2 -- Jekyll is a blog-aware, static site generator in Ruby

Usage:

  jekyll <subcommand> [options]

Options:
        -s, --source [DIR]  Source directory (defaults to ./)
        -d, --destination [DIR]  Destination directory (defaults to ./_site)
            --safe         Safe mode (defaults to false)
        -p, --plugins PLUGINS_DIR1[,PLUGINS_DIR2[,...]]  Plugins directory (defaults to ./_plugins)
            --layouts DIR  Layouts directory (defaults to ./_layouts)
            --profile      Generate a Liquid rendering profile
        -h, --help         Show this message
        -v, --version      Print the name and version
        -t, --trace        Show the full backtrace when an error occurs

Subcommands:
  compose               
  docs                  
  import                
  build, b              Build your site
  clean                 Clean the site (removes site output and metadata file) without building.
  doctor, hyde          Search site and print specific deprecation warnings
  help                  Show the help message, optionally for a given subcommand.

  new-theme             Creates a new Jekyll theme scaffold
  serve, server, s      Serve your site locally

I'm not 100% comfortable with Ruby. I'm using RVM. It's possible that something is going wrong because of that.

[ashmaroli]

I see import along with compose and docs in the list. So, you have a detectable version installed at minimum. Now, what is the output from running jekyll import --help or jekyll help import?

[sproctor]

$ jekyll import --help
jekyll import

Usage:

  jekyll import

Options:

        -s, --source [DIR]  Source directory (defaults to ./)
        -d, --destination [DIR]  Destination directory (defaults to ./_site)
            --safe         Safe mode (defaults to false)
        -p, --plugins PLUGINS_DIR1[,PLUGINS_DIR2[,...]]  Plugins directory (defaults to ./_plugins)
            --layouts DIR  Layouts directory (defaults to ./_layouts)
            --profile      Generate a Liquid rendering profile
        -h, --help         Show this message
        -v, --version      Print the name and version
        -t, --trace        Show the full backtrace when an error occurs

[ashmaroli]

Hmm.. that's strange. I would like to see the output of running gem list jekyll

[sproctor]

$ gem list jekyll

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

jekyll (4.3.2)
jekyll-feed (0.17.0)
jekyll-import (0.21.0)
jekyll-sass-converter (3.0.0)
jekyll-seo-tag (2.8.0)
jekyll-watch (2.2.1)

[sproctor]

In case it's interesting:

$ which jekyll
/home/sproctor/.rvm/gems/ruby-3.2.0/bin/jekyll
$ which gem
gem () {
    \typeset result
    (
        \typeset rvmrc
        rvm_rvmrc_files=("/etc/rvmrc" "$HOME/.rvmrc") 
        if [[ -n "${rvm_prefix:-}" ]] && ! [[ "$HOME/.rvmrc" -ef "${rvm_prefix}/.rvmrc" ]]
        then
            rvm_rvmrc_files+=("${rvm_prefix}/.rvmrc") 
        fi
        for rvmrc in "${rvm_rvmrc_files[@]}"
        do
            [[ -s "${rvmrc}" ]] && source "${rvmrc}" || true
        done
        unset rvm_rvmrc_files
        command gem "$@"
    ) || result=$? 
    hash -r
    return ${result:-0}
}

I need to test if something weird happens with Ruby 3.2.x... Your jekyll import --help is incomplete. Either it didn't install properly or something else is interfering.. Your gem-list doesn't show jekyll-compose plugin to be installed. Yet, jekyll help lists compose as available subcommand..

[sproctor]

RVM is weird. It seems to do some really weird things. I'm sorry that I'm mixing a few different strategies at once here. I installed ruby 3.1, and put the dependencies into the Gemfile. This seems to have at least gotten me past the above issue. If you still want to investigate that one, I'm happy to help, but I've found a way around it. Unfortunately, I'm still getting an error, but it looks much more obvious:

$ bundle exec jekyll import blogger --source blog-02-19-2023.xml --no-blogger-info --replace-internal-link --comments
