Franklin.jl not building on 1.7.1

General Usage
1

Hi all,

I have previously used Franklin.jl (on 1.6.x) for my personal website, but I have not updated my site since upgrading to Julia 1.7.x. I tried to reinstall Franklin for 1.7.1 today, and get the following error during the build process:

I’ve looked around a bit, and haven’t seen any issues regarding CommonMarkFlavor. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks in advance!

Platform Info:
  OS: Windows (x86_64-w64-mingw32)

seems to work for me. I’m not sure if it makes sense to follow up potential problems with 1.7.1 given 1.8.0 is in beta.

One more remark: if this doesn’t work for you, you might have package dependency problems in your global environment? Try a local environment then.

Thanks for the response!

I just had the opportunity to get back to this now, and all I needed to do was activate my local environment and update the packages with Pkg.up(). Problem solved! :slight_smile:
