On saving page only regenerates once

[joshuarule]

Tried to set up a site today and kept running into something i'm not sure how to resolve. It seems when running running either gulp or gulp --prod I can save a change to a file once and then my site will no longer regenerate.

I'm getting this in the console which i'm not really sure how to make sense of and was hoping you might have an idea where to look

Configuration file: _config.yml
Configuration file: _config.build.yml

                    done in 0.17 seconds.
Auto-regeneration: disabled. Use --watch to enable.

Not sure either, what OS and version of Node and such are you running? Haven't seen anything like this for a long, long while.

[joshuarule]

I'm on OSX 10.11.4, Node v4.4.3, Ruby 2.0.0p648.

[sondr3]

Would it be possible for you to try this in Ruby 2.3 and Node 6?

[grshane]

I am having the same issue. Mine will regenerate scss changes but not any changes to html files. OSX 10.11.4 Node 6 Ruby 2.3.1.

[peepshow]

Ditto. OSX 10.11.4, Node v4.2.6, Ruby 2.0.0

Content or template edits only inject once on save. SCSS does continue to update on save however.

[sondr3]

Bah, strange. Haven't seen this myself before. I'll look into it.

[sondr3]

I think something has changes with how gulp watches files/runs commands. I'm looking into it but due to exams I have very little time until the end of May.

[joshuarule]

I just upgraded and had similar results.

[nsocrates]

A temporary fix for this would be to do a manual reload.

gulp.watch(['src/**/*.md', 'src/**/*.html', 'src/**/*.yml'], gulp.series('jekyll')).on('change', reload)

gulp.watch('src/assets/images/**/*').on('change', reload)

[sondr3]

Yeah, I used to do that but I think it's not technically correct and has some strange behavior. But I might just revert to it.

[peepshow]

@nsocrates thank you very much, that works fine for now. Much appreciated.

[wihodges]

I'm having this problem too. The gulp file modification sorta works but having to save multiple times before its refreshes.

[sondr3]

You can change your gulpfile to what was posted below, it'll work. Just to confirm, it's only for HTML and markdown it's not working?

[wihodges]

Yea just HTML

I'm having the same problem with the page changes only regenerating once.

I also get the following warning, seems related...

WARN: Unresolved specs during Gem::Specification.reset: listen (< 3.1, ~> 3.0) WARN: Clearing out unresolved specs.

[sondr3]

That error usually comes from Jekyll being upgraded and having older gems in your system. Try to clean out old gems.

[mitchrenton]

Thanks for the tip there. I've actually reverted Jekyll to 3.0.5 and cleared out older gems. Here's my gem list now...

activesupport (4.2.6) addressable (2.4.0) bigdecimal (1.2.6) bundler (1.12.3) chunky_png (1.3.4) classifier-reborn (2.0.4) coffee-script (2.4.1) coffee-script-source (1.10.0) colorator (0.1) compass (1.0.3) compass-core (1.0.3) compass-import-once (1.0.5) ethon (0.9.0) execjs (2.6.0) faraday (0.9.2) fast-stemmer (1.0.2) ffi (1.9.10) gemoji (2.1.0) github-pages (78) github-pages-health-check (1.1.0) html-pipeline (2.4.0) i18n (0.7.0) io-console (0.4.3) jekyll (3.0.5) jekyll-archives (2.1.0) jekyll-coffeescript (1.0.1) jekyll-feed (0.5.1) jekyll-gist (1.4.0) jekyll-github-metadata (1.11.1) jekyll-mentions (1.1.2) jekyll-paginate (1.1.0) jekyll-redirect-from (0.10.0) jekyll-sass-converter (1.3.0) jekyll-seo-tag (1.4.0) jekyll-sitemap (0.10.0) jekyll-textile-converter (0.1.0) jekyll-watch (1.4.0) jemoji (0.6.2) json (1.8.3, 1.8.1) kramdown (1.10.0) liquid (3.0.6) listen (3.0.6) mercenary (0.3.6) mini_portile2 (2.0.0) minitest (5.8.4) multi_json (1.11.0) multipart-post (2.0.0) net-dns (0.8.0) nokogiri (1.6.7.2) octokit (4.3.0) power_assert (0.2.2) psych (2.0.8) public_suffix (1.5.3) rake (10.4.2) rb-fsevent (0.9.7) rb-inotify (0.9.7) rdiscount (2.1.8) rdoc (4.2.0) redcarpet (3.3.4) RedCloth (4.2.9) rouge (1.10.1) safe_yaml (1.0.4) sass (3.4.22) sawyer (0.7.0) terminal-table (1.5.2) test-unit (3.0.8) thread_safe (0.3.5) typhoeus (0.8.0) tzinfo (1.2.2)

I actually deleted some of the newer version of gems I had that weren't in line with the github pages dependency versions .

Now I have an error Could not find jekyll-sass-converter-1.4.0 in any of the sources (Bundler::GemNotFound) which is looking for a newer version of the jekyll-sass-converter that my 1.3.0 version. When I update that gem, it updates all of the dependencies and I'm out of sync with GitHub pages jekyll dependencies again.

Any ideas what to do here?

[sondr3]

Not really, I'd force clean all your gems and reinstall. That's what I usually do, nuke it from orbit :smile:

[mitchrenton]

I'll give it a shot. I just noticed my local grunt CLI version is 1.2.1. Is that right?

[sondr3]

Grunt? I hope you meant gulp :P I haven't actually looked at the version of that since I switched to gulp 4.0.

[mitchrenton]

Haha, sorry yes, I meant Gulp. So I nuked my gems, and re-installed, and that has removed any errors. I still only get the regeneration on the first page change though I'm afraid.

[sondr3]

Yeah, I'm in the middle of my exams so I won't have time to fix it until next weekend in afraid :)

[mitchrenton]

No problem. Good luck with your exams!

The reason is here: https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/issues/1626#issuecomment-215992824

I've fixed this by creating function:

function doRealod(done) {
  reload();
  done();
}

and using it instead of reload:

gulp.watch(['src/**/*.md', 'src/**/*.html', 'src/**/*.yml'], gulp.series(log, 'jekyll', doReload));
// ....
gulp.watch('src/assets/images/**/*', doReload);

[sondr3]

Yeah, I saw this pop up on the 'gulp' repo yesterday as a pull request on how to use Gulp 4 with BrowserSync. Thanks though! 😃

[sondr3]

I've pushed a new version of jekyllized to NPM, you can update your settings with yo jekyllized:gulp [--rsync|amazon|pages] after you've updated to the latest version of jekyllized (npm install -g generator-jekyllized@next), but beware that it'll ask you to overwrite your package.json and gulpfile so back them up. From what I can see this works as it should on my end now, but if it doesn't please let me know! 😄
