Invalid theme folder #31

Closed BashfulBandit closed 4 years ago

BashfulBandit commented 4 years ago

I am using the Jekyll Slate Theme on my documentation site and so far love it. The only issue is when I run bundle exec jekyll serve locally, I receive a warning saying, "Invalid theme folder: _includes". The warning appears twice. It doesn't affect the building of the site at all, but I can't figure out what exactly is causing it. If I comment out in my _config.yml file the line which defines the theme to use, then the warnings go a way, but obviously the site/theme doesn't work then. I am not sure if this only happens locally or if it also happens when I push to GitHub and the site is built for GitHub Pages. Am I missing something?

Looks like the Slate theme doesn't use _includes in the theme. I can see this by navigating to the Gem folder

If you compare it with the minima folder, then you see that Slate doesn't have _includes, and also in the _layouts folder, it only has "default.html", while minima has additional layout types.

Now I'm not sure if that means the developers of Slate are just expecting us to create our own theme folders and files for our project? That makes me uncertain of how to actually view the Slate visual theme for my GitHub Pages.
