Categories page is empty #547

Closed ickc closed 7 years ago

ickc commented 8 years ago

In my http://0.0.0.0:5001/_categories, it is empty, although in the individual files, categories are added as comma separated, e.g. like this categories: Physics, Optics, PHYS7C.

And on the bottom of the page, it can show the categories Physics Optics PHYS7C with links to http://0.0.0.0:5001/_category/Physics, etc.

I used both folder structure and categories to organize my stuffs. I'm not sure where is the source of the problem I'm experiencing. By the way, the YAML are ended in --- rather than ... which seems to be not the problem. I also tried space separated rather than comma separated, with no luck. By the way, I used md as my file extension instead of page, not sure if it would be the problem.

Do you have any idea on how to make it work?

Could you put up a little git repository that I could clone to reproduce the problem?

After doing some test, I found out the condition that categories will disappeared: when the YAML front matter ends with --- instead of .... (I made a mistake when I said I tested this, I thought I have, but either there's some other problem or I wasn't paying attention).

The interesting thing is, even if the YAML front matter ends with ---, the categories page (http://0.0.0.0:5001/_categories) will then be empty, but at the end of the page those categories are there.

If you need, I opened a testing repository in ickc/gitit-test-categories. The instance that categories has broken is when I did the last commit: Changed yaml ending to---``. You can see from these 2 pages:

  1. http://0.0.0.0:5001/_categories
  2. http://0.0.0.0:5001/test-categories

The former has nothing, the later has categories in the end.

I attached my conf here, where the only thing changed is the location of the wikidata.

Are you able to reproduce the problem? Thanks.

The metadata in gitit must end with ...; --- is not allowed. So that is the problem here...I'm not sure why it partially works when you do the wrong thing.

Never mind, I see that I added something later to allow --- to end metadata. No doubt I didn't make corresponding changes in the code that constructs the categories page.

Can you build the latest from HEAD and test this?

I tested and verified that the bug is fixed. I will then removed the test repository above. Thanks again!
