"Build with Jekyll" error while trying to puplish a page to my github site-CodePudding

My github is super rusty but I am trying to push a simple markdown page with a movie review onto my github website but it won't show. I usually work on GitHub desktop but then I went to the site and saw that this "Build with Jekyll" has been 'X'ed out.

I have NO IDEA what this means. I posted another page few days ago and don't believe I did anything differently this time.

I am more of an analyst(SQL) person at the moment and I learned all of this coding like a decade ago but I really want to become more active on my blog so any help would be appreicated.

CodePudding user response：

try pressing the button that says "rerun all jobs", and if that doesn't work, try removing the jekyll theme, building the page, and then re-adding the theme.

CodePudding user response：

When you open the build log (click on the x-ed out entry), you will see this log:

You have two sorts in your post layout (commented-out but Jekyll reads this anyway, unless you use Jekyll's comment tags):

           <!-- Post Categories -->
            <!-- <div >
                <ul >
                    {% assign sortedCategories = page.categories | sort %}
                    {% for category in sortedCategories %}
                    <li>
                        <a  href="{{site.baseurl}}/categories#{{ category | replace: " ","-" }}">{{ category }}</a>
                    </li>
                    {% endfor %}
                </ul>
            </div> -->
            <!-- End Categories -->

            <!-- Post Tags -->
            <!-- <div >
                <ul >
                    {% assign sortedTags = page.tags | sort %}
                    {% for tag in sortedTags %}
                    <li>
                        <a  href="{{site.baseurl}}/tags#{{ tag | replace: " ","-" }}">#{{ tag }}</a>
                    </li>
                    {% endfor %}
                </ul>
            </div> -->

The error says that one of page.categories or page.tags must be null. And, this is related to the commented-out code in the post layout. The layout requires any page to have at least a category and a tag.

2022-12-04-dontworrydarling.md do not define any tag or category; this fixes the issue:

---
...
categories: [ Jekyll ]
tags: [red, yellow]
...
---

Another option could be to check for null values using something like

{% if page.catgories != nil %} ... {% endif %}
