Gem-based installation gives dependency error

[keunes]

Hello,

In order to make stuff easier in future (in case of theme updates), I wanted to create a new site that relies on the theme gem (rather than having the theme files in my site folder).

So I did:

keunes@device:~/Documents/Sites$ jekyll new newsite
[Bundler does its thing]

I then updated _config.yml: Changed theme: minima into theme: portfolYOU

And I updated Gemfile: 1 Commented out gem "jekyll" 2 Changed gem "minima", "~> 2.5" into gem "portfolyou-jekyll-theme"

Then tried to ' bundle' the new configuration, but I get a dependency error:

keunes@device:~/Documents/Sites$ cd ./newsite
keunes@device:~/Documents/Sites/newsite$ bundle update
Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/...........
Resolving dependencies...
Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "i18n":
  In snapshot (Gemfile.lock):
    i18n (>= 1.8.10)

  In Gemfile:
    portfolyou-jekyll-theme was resolved to 2.3.0, which depends on
      jekyll (~> 3.8) was resolved to 3.9.1, which depends on
        i18n (~> 0.7)

Running `bundle update` will rebuild your snapshot from scratch, using only
the gems in your Gemfile, which may resolve the conflict.

Anything I'm doing wrong? Or are there theme dependencies not correct?

Sorry, deleting the Gemfile did the trick. Now on to moving over stuff I had adjusted, to the new site. And re-adding _config.yml stuff from the theme.

Actually, I had to add the gem kramdown-parser-gfm to my Gemfile before the project could be built:

Dependency Error: Yikes! It looks like you don't have kramdown-parser-gfm or one of its dependencies installed. In order to use Jekyll as currently configured, you'll need to install this gem. The full error message from Ruby is: 'cannot load such file -- kramdown-parser-gfm' If you run into trouble, you can find helpful resources at https://jekyllrb.com/help/! 
  Conversion error: Jekyll::Converters::Markdown encountered an error while converting '_posts/2021-08-20-welcome-to-jekyll.markdown':

                    kramdown-parser-gfm

I believe that 'Welcome to Jekyll' post is there by default when creating a new site. Could this dependency be caused by the highlight or the link code?

{% highlight ruby %}
def print_hi(name)
  puts "Hi, #{name}"
end
print_hi('Tom')
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
{% endhighlight %}

If this is what you are looking for, consider using it as a remote_theme as it's mentioned in the docs.

This fix will be available on RubyGems in the next release. I will push the release in the next couple of days, to include more fixes for other issues.
