engineer build error #102

Closed bretonio closed 4 years ago

bretonio commented 8 years ago

engineer build throws an error the gist of which is: jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: engineer.models.PostCollection object has no element 0.

I also noticed that the build command found 0 new or modified posts although I had created one under the content directory. O, but let me try to create a new page in posts, hang on ...

This was raised here but not addressed.

Okay, so when I add a post under posts the build moves forward but balks at processing the 'POST_TIMEZONEvariable in the config file. I have set this to 'America/Sao_Paulo`' following your example and adding my own TZ. So now,

'expected a timezone name (string) but got <class 'pytz.tzfile.America/Sao_Paulo'> instead`

Looking forward to getting your excellent project working for me.

The second issue seems to be caused by a change in the times library. The current release version of engineer is quite old and the dev branch has moved from the deprecated times library to Arrow. However, the dev branch has a lot of other changes, many of which are not yet documented, so that's probably not a good option.

As a temporary workaround, try explicitly installing times v0.6.2. You can do that with this command:

pip install times==0.6.2

That at least made the build succeed in my test cases. I just made a change to pin the version of the dependency to 0.6.2 explicitly in the engineer setup, but I don't have time to publish a new version to PyPI. The workaround I mentioned should address it for you in the meantime.

installed times as suggested. No joy! Installed dev distribution as instructed in docs. Joy! Thank you for your attention to my issue.
