Error: Could not locate layout: _auto_layout

[pseidemann]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a blog with a prefix but I always get this error message when accessing an article:

Error: Could not locate layout: _auto_layout

What should I do to fix this?

[tdreyno]

Please post your config.rb and Gemfile.lock files.

[pseidemann]

activate :blog do |blog|
  blog.prefix = '/en/blog'
end

page '/feed.xml', :layout => false

set :css_dir, 'stylesheets'
set :js_dir, 'javascripts'
set :images_dir, 'images'

configure :build do
  activate :minify_css
  activate :minify_javascript
  activate :cache_buster
end

['en', 'us'].each do |site|
  page "/#{site}/*" do
    @site = site
  end
end

activate :directory_indexes

Could you reproduce this bug?

[tdreyno]

Afraid not. Can you try the 3.1 betas? In your Gemfile:

gem "middleman", "~> 3.1.0.rc"

[bhollis]

@pseidemann please reopen this ticket if you can provide a repo that reproduces this issue.

I have the same issue. My standard layout file resides in /layouts/layout.erb and when i build the site i also get this error: error build/blog/2014/01/01/foofoo.html Error: Could not locate layout: _auto_layout

Interesstingly enough, my layout gets applied because my article html has all the HTML from the layout.

Any Ideas?

activate :blog do |blog|
  # This will add a prefix to all links, template references and source paths
  blog.prefix = "blog"

  # blog.permalink = "{year}/{month}/{day}/{title}.html"
  # Matcher for blog source files
  blog.sources = "/articles/{year}-{month}-{day}-{title}.html"
  # blog.taglink = "tags/{tag}.html"
  # blog.layout = "layout"
  blog.summary_separator = /(READMORE)/
  blog.summary_length = 250
  # blog.year_link = "{year}.html"
  # blog.month_link = "{year}/{month}.html"
  # blog.day_link = "{year}/{month}/{day}.html"
  blog.default_extension = ".markdown"

  #blog.tag_template = "tag.html"
  #blog.calendar_template = "calendar.html"

  # Enable pagination
  # blog.paginate = true
  # blog.per_page = 10
  # blog.page_link = "page/{num}"
end
