Templating using markdown and handlebars not working

[virajsoni06]

Hi, I'm trying to using Markdown for content and Handlebars for templating. However, it does not seem to work.

The is the error thrown no files to process. See https://www.npmjs.com/package/metalsmith-in-place#no-files-to-process. However, there are .md files in the folder.

Here's my handlebar configuration

metalsmith(__dirname)
  // Source directory
  .source('../src/handlebars/pages')

  // Destination directory
  .destination(path.join(__dirname, '../', settings.destinations.handlebars))

  // Clean destination before
  .clean(true)

  // Register Handlebars helpers
  .use(registerHelpers({
    directory: path.join(__dirname, '../', settings.sources.handlebars, 'helpers')
  }))

  // Register Handlebars partials
  .use(registerPartials({
    directory: path.join(__dirname, '../', settings.sources.handlebars, 'partials'),
    pattern: /\.hbs$/
  }))

  .use(markdown({
    smartypants: true,
    smartLists: true,
    gfm: true,
    tables: true
  }))

  .use(permalinks())

  .use(layouts({
    directory: path.join(__dirname, '../', settings.sources.handlebars, 'layouts'),
    default: 'default.hbs',
    pattern: '**/*.hbs',
    engine: 'handlebars'
  }))

  .use(inPlace({
    pattern: '*.md',
    engineOptions: {
      partials: path.join(__dirname, '../', settings.sources.handlebars, 'partials'),
    }
  }))

  // Only build HTML files
  // .use(filter(['**/*.html', '!handlebars/**/*.html','handlebars']))
  .use(filter(['**/*.html']))

  // Finally build files
  .build(err => {

    // Handle build errors
    if (err) {
      console.log(stripIndents`
        ${logSymbols.error} Handlebars build failed:
        ${chalk.red.bold(err.message)}
      `);
      process.exit(1);

    // Handle successful build
    } else {
      /**
       * NOTE:
       * We need to backdate the generated files by ten seconds until
       * https://github.com/webpack/watchpack/issues/25 is fixed.
       * Otherwise we would have some uneeded rebuilds when starting webpack in
       * watch mode or starting the webpack dev server.

      const f = path.resolve(__dirname, '../', settings.destinations.handlebars);
      const now = Date.now() / 1000;
      const then = now - 10;
        globby(f + '/**/*.html')
          .then(files => {
              console.log(files)
              files.forEach(file => {
                fs.utimes(file, then, then, (err) => {
                  if (err) {
                    console.error(err);
                  }
                  console.log(
                    logSymbols.success,
                    ` Finished ${chalk.blue.bold('Handlebars build')} after`,
                    chalk.yellow.bold(perfy.end('build').time >= 1 ? `${Math.round(perfy.end('build').time * 100) / 100} s` : `${Math.round(perfy.end('build').milliseconds)} ms`),
                    '\n'

                });
              });
          });
    }
  });

Hej @virajsoni06,

are you using metalsmith-markdown in addition?

Sorry, for the delayed answer 🙈

Cheers, Michael
