First thing, many thanks to all contributors of fastpages, it is an
amazing tool, and it makes the issue I am having all the more frustrating.
I need help troubleshooting the following situation. I don’t know if
it’s with jekyll, github, or fastpages.
Current situation
The GitHub repo of my GitHub page which I am creating with fastpages, contains (at this moment) four notesbooks:
2020-02-20-test.ipynb
2020-03-31-know-your-system.ipynb
2020-04-08-monkey-patching-in-fastai.ipynb
2020-04-10-slimfastai-minimal-imports.ipynb
They all appear to display correctly on the github repo.
However, under “Posts” on the index page of the github page, only:
2020-02-20-test.ipynb
2020-03-31-know-your-system.ipynb
are listed as expected, and the list displays two other items with
only today’s date: “Apr 11, 2020”, see image below:
Note that today’s date is not the date of the other two missing posts, Apr 8 and 10, 2020. This discrepancy with the dates is very puzzling.
How I got there (I think)
- At some point I only had two notebooks:
2020-03-31-know-your-system.ipynb
2020-04-08-monkey-patching-in-fastai.ipynb
and the list on the index page displayed correctly. - Then I added
2020-04-10-slimfastai-minimal-imports.ipynb
and found myself in the all too common “github page not showing” situation, while the jupyter notebook is present in the repo and looks correct. I checked for the obvious errors, then I thought it may have something to do with the date. - Long story short, I tried a few things, including a couple of
git commit --allow-empty
, and just to check, I reinstated the test page2020-02-20-test.ipynb
just to see if that worked. I also made a few changes to2020-04-08-monkey-patching-in-fastai.ipynb
just to see if I could verify the changes, and now even2020-04-08-monkey-patching-in-fastai.ipynb
is acting up.
Puzzling
How is it that today’s date is displayed where I expect the two items
corresponding to posts with dates in the past?
Troubleshooting tips?
What should I be looking for under “Actions” or “Workflows” on the
GitHub repository to figure out what is going wrong? Also, I haven’t
seen any error message.
