..and another question :joy: :sweat_smile: if I were interested in allowing the kramdown filter to parse github flavoured markdown, would you prefer this to be added as a separate filter, or allowed as a config setting to the existing one? :slight_smile:

a qeustion to the documentation, the example in the blogger helper for generating a feed is

compile '/blog/feed/' do
  filter :erb
  write '/blog.xml'
end

what input does this actually take? I mean, /blog/feed/ is a folder , so which file will be compiled ?

I have a day off today and this is how I choose to spend it… fixing threading bugs

But don’t worry. I will definitely be not doing much later today

Thank you :)

finally I am done and my nanoc base site is online, did also some plug for nanoc :-)

@a4z Very nice :)

I found a typo: piplelines

@a4z You can integrate a spell checker with Nanoc if you want: https://github.com/nanoc/nanoc.ws/blob/main/lib/checks.rb

That is how I do it with nanoc.ws

Harald

@a4z

Thanks! will definitely look into spell checker, obviously VS Code code spell check does not show me all, or my eyes are too tired in the evening :-)

@a4z

apropos check, I get 2 fails positives from the ilink checker, both to the same site , one time from the blog index and 1 time from an article linking to the same page, in both case the html is

<a href="/blog/2017/10/14/Using-SQLite3-in-your-C++-application.html">Using SQLite3 in your C++ application</a>

both links work... maybe the ++ in the URL?

Hey hey @ddfreyne. Do you still consider https://groups.google.com/d/topic/nanoc/aSG7QC_oqZQ/discussion to be the ideal way to combine multiple items into one?

@a4z

can I create a ignore list for various checkers ?
I have 2 problems, one is that thi the url checker, reporting an URL that clearly works wget https://a4z.gitlab.io/blog/2017/10/14/Using-SQLite3-in-your-C++-application.html as being wrong,
the second is the html validator, since google wants to put me a html page into my root so it knows I am the owner of the page. And this is of course no valid html5
It would be nice if I could automate the checkers, but I need a way to exclude such false positives

@da2x

@a4z yes, many filters support that. docs at https://nanoc.ws/doc/reference/config/#checks

@ddfreyne is it possible to use a snapshot from a rep:default compilation in a rep:another compilation?

I’ve not needed to use snapshots before and am somewhat confused about their limitations.

I’ve basically got one item that needs to write twice. I can’t regenerate the item from the beginning. E.g. https://gist.githubusercontent.com/da2x/bf51169d5dd847ebd68f324285af6016/raw/3ea397581185fe1bb28e3f0566991aeb7e0381b3/some.rb

Denis Defreyne

@ddfreyne

@da2x What you’re trying to do is not possible currently :(

Not quite ideal.

Hmm, hold on… it might work if you create a filter e.g. :read_snapshot, with the two arguments being the rep and snapshot name, which then returns @item.compiled_content(rep: rep_name, snapshot: snapshot_name)

I haven’t tried it and I think it might cause issues with cyclical dependencies

Daniel Aleksandersen

@da2x

I ended up cheating. I made a filter that removes the source map from the JS files, but writes it to a separate file, and then return the just the JS.

Gregory Pakosz

@gpakosz

I'm curious. What's your approach to JS source maps in the context of Nanoc?

Harald

@a4z

btw, I am deeply impressed by the live reload injection nanoc does, is this somewhere available as a stand alone thing?
( I have some slides with ascidoctor-revealjs and a rake file that rebulids on change, now I would like to have this live reload that nanoc has to reload the presentation in the browser)

Denis Defreyne

@ddfreyne

That is pretty much all done by https://github.com/johnbintz/rack-livereload!

@a4z You can also install the adsf and adsf-live gems, and then use the adsf --live-reload command to run a live-reloading web server, separately from Nanoc

See https://github.com/ddfreyne/adsf

Harald

@a4z

Thanks! will check adsf ,
want to put this into my rake file and replace my WEBrick call so the live reload script becomes injected,
do I understand that correct, just with using asdf-live + asdf I can remove my existing guard live reload rule ? An this becomes independent from the live reload browser extensions?

@da2x

@ddfreyne GitHub doesn’t let me open a pull request at the moment. do you want this patch? da2x/nanoc@7b81707 It implements copy-on-write reflink copying on Btrfs and XFS on Linux. Like a hardlink, except the files are dereferenced if either copies are modified. Requires my Linux-only reflink.gem, which is loaded optimistically. Falls back to old behaviour if the gem isn’t installed. It’s faster on Linux and mitigates the risky business of involving a hardlink. I’m not sure if this way of loading the gem makes it slower on other OSes, though.

Denis Defreyne

@ddfreyne

Ooh I love it — I will respond in the PR that you created on GitHub!

Denis Defreyne

@ddfreyne

I have no way of testing this out though… I used to have a BTRFS NAS, but it died (one of the hard drives made it crashloop, but no idea why)

Denis Defreyne

@ddfreyne

I fixed the tests on the main branch btw — a Rubocop upgrade broke it

Ian Young

@iay

If you have a way of running virtual machines, XFS is the default filesystem on RHEL/CentOS 7 and 8. If you get really stuck, I could give you an account on something here.

My upstream bandwidth is pretty sucky though (quite old domestic ADSL).

Denis Defreyne

@ddfreyne

Makes sense! I’ll give that a try

Denis Defreyne

@ddfreyne

I’m a bit short on time but going to try to get it up and running soon

@DivineDominion

Lovely to see that there's a gitter for nanoc, too 🎉

I'm starting with a question :) According to the docs, I'm under the impression that <%=link_to_unless_current("hello", "/.*")%> should link to the page root. I get <a href="/.*">, the literal link, instead. Am on the latest nanoc release and don't have legacy identifiers enabled 🤔

Christian Tietze

@DivineDominion

paths with trailing slashes work, e.g. <%=link_to_unless_current("hello", "/")%>, but only in the page content, not in the main menu partial (that itself invokes a ruby helper method to render the whole menu). I wonder if that's because @item is not available in the helper module to check the context?

Denis Defreyne

@ddfreyne

@DivineDominion Hey there! The second argument to link_to/link_to_unless_current is going to be exactly what ends up in the href attribute.

If you want to link to a specifc item, you can use e.g. <%= link_to 'Home', @items['/home.*'] %> — i.e. the second argument is the item you want to link to

Uh oh, I think the documentation might be wrong. Checking…

Yep, documentation is wrong — the docs say link_to_unless_current('Blog', '/blog.*') but that should be link_to_unless_current('Blog', @items['/blog.*'])

Denis Defreyne

@ddfreyne

Documentation updated!

Christian Tietze

@DivineDominion

ah I thought the documentation was more up to date than I was :)

Denis Defreyne

@ddfreyne

My bad! Looks like the incorrect documentation has survived for a while :see_no_evil:
