[handshape]

Describe the bug The published Gemfile has an upstream dependency on a version of ruby-sass that has been deprecated and removed from rubygems.org (3.7.4)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install ruby on a fresh machine.
2. run gem install jekyll bundler
3. do a fresh clone of the gcweb-jekyll
4. run bundle
5. observe error message

Expected behavior bundler will build the site

It hasn't been removed https://rubygems.org/gems/sass/versions/3.7.4

[handshape]

Hrm. You're right. If I hand-download the gem, it comes down. Any thoughts as to why invoking bundler emits the given error?

[nschonni]

No, note sure if there is a simple "cache clear" type command. I would usually just delete the vendor folder and try again

[handshape]

gem clean is the one for Ruby. I've removed all gems, done a new pull from the repo, retrieved a fresh jekyll and bundler, and the error yielded is the same. For the moment, I'll proceed with a simple Jekyll template (tested and working), matching the frontmatter scheme in this repo as closely as I can until the issue here can be resolved.
