/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/gems/jekyll-4.2.0/lib/jekyll/commands/serve/servlet.rb:3:in require’: cannot load such file – webrick (LoadError)`

You need to resolve this issue:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/gems/jekyll-4.2.0/lib/jekyll/commands/serve/servlet.rb:3:in `require': cannot load such file -- webrick (LoadError)

When you have an error, search StackOverflow/Google for a solution. This error was encountered in the Jekyll forums.

You can try installing Ruby 2.7 - as 3.0 is still new. Or reinstall global gems. You can try these solutions

Load error: cannot load such file -- webrick

There’s a similar sounding issue about Jekyll and Ruby 3.0. Does the work-around mentioned there help? Alternatively, downgrading to Homebrew’s Ruby@27 might be necessary until all the kinks are worked out.

One solution for mac:

bundle add webrick

I’m using Mac and never had to directly install webrick in a project or globally.

You might need to make sure you’ve set up your PATH correctly, so that Ruby and gems can be found properly. Maybe webrick is installed globally but just can’t be found.
