Hi. I’m trying to follow the github-pages guide for jekyll. I’m not having much luck. because it keeps crashing when I run:
$ bundle exec jekyll serve

The version of jekyll available in my path is 4.2.0. I discovered this by running jekyll -v. But I had to run this outside of the project directory. if I run jekyll -vin the poject directory it gives the following output
$ jekyll -v

Yes agree to Ruby 2.7. And don’t use plain global jekyll which is 4.
Within your project only use bundle exec jekyll which 3.9 and that is the appropriate version for GH Pages.
If you still have issues, check your config and frontmatter and any references to paths in your files. It looks like an unexpected data type on your code. But then again it might not be your code and it is a system issue.
If you can move all your content of your repo temporarily to another directory so you only have Gemfile, vendor and an almost empty index.md (not even config), then you can run the serve command there and then you’ll see that Jekyll can work alone. Then start bringing your code back in to the directory and see which file causes a break if at all.
You can also setup a new directory locally to test Jekyll itself using a template
cd my-repo
bundle exec jekyll new ~/repos/test
cd !$ # Same as cd ~/repos/test
# maybe bundle install steps.
# ...
bundle exec jekyll serve --trace
Please provide a repo link too if you figure out that you can get Jekyll to run for a new project but not your existing one.
I have the same error, I don’t use GitHub pages and I don’t have jekyll-manager in Gemfile.
I use:
bundle exec jekyll serve
and Jekyll’s serve doesn’t work. Any tips on how to make it work? Or is deleting Jekyll and use something else the only option? I want to migrate to Eleventy that just works and use Node instead of Ruby that keep adding breaking changes that prevent Jekyll to run.
On my distro, I can’t get ruby2.7 easily (void linux).
When I bundle exec jekyll serve, it works, but I get that error and html is not templated, resulting in blank pages.

The same error has occurred to me after upgrading my system from Debian 11 to 12 (which upgraded Ruby from 2.7 to 3.1).
However, I was able to resolve the issue without reinstalling Ruby 2.7 by following the instructions on this page of the GitHub documentation.
In particular, from within the project folder, I first executed bundle add webrick (to install a dependency missing from Ruby 3.0 or later), then bundle update github-pages (to update all relevant gems). Afterwards bundle exec jekyll serve worked for me without any errors.
Note: Before coming across the doc-page linked above, as part of the troubleshooting process, I also restored several installed gems to pristine condition. In case of the gems with associated executables in the folder $GEM_HOME/bin I also added the option -E to have their shebangs updated from #!/usr/bin/env ruby2.7 to #!/usr/bin/env ruby3.1. (If Ruby was already installed on your system before those gems, then this step is probably not necessary.)
