Question about Franklin.jl

[adeil]

I’m creating a website with Franklin.jl. However, after restarting my computer, the following message appears in the REPL when I try to modify the file:

julia> using Franklin

julia> serve()
┌ Franklin Warning: in <config.md>
│ No 'config.md' file found. It is recommended to keep one.

│ Relevant pointers:

ERROR: ArgumentError: The current directory doens't  have a `_layout` or `_css` folder, if you are using the old folder structure, please add `@def folder_structure = v"0.1"` in your config.md; otherwise, change directory to a valid Franklin folder.

How should I proceed to continue modifying the file?

Hello,

You seem to not be running this from the right place.

Say you have a folder myWebsite on your computer then you have to

julia> cd("path/to/myWebsite")
julia> serve()

you can check what your current working directory is with

julia> pwd()

the error is telling you that the current working directory does not seem to be a Franklin directory.

Ps: there’s a typo in the error message… I’ll fix this. fixed on master

Hi,
Can you see my repository and help me set the prepath?
https://github.com/adeil83/adeil83.github.io

[tlienart]

Actually what you have seems fine. On GitHub, in the settings of that repository, under “GitHub-pages” please check that it’s the gh-pages branch that is selected. It should look like this:

I suspect that at the moment it’s set to “main”.

(in your repository you can check that the gh-pages branch is correct: it has the right index.html with the right paths, so all that is fine)

Thank you very much for the quick and polite response. I modified Branch, but nothing happened. You’re still wrong.

[tlienart]

it takes a minute to propagate, your page is now online.

[adeil]

Thank you so much for your help. It worked really well!

[adeil]

@tlienart, what to do when the gh-pages option does not appear?

[tlienart]

Your repo has a branch master (old repos from GitHub) but the deploy script quotes the new repos from GitHub with a branch main. I’ve submitted a PR to your repo.

Happy Birthday @tlienart!
