"jekyll bundle exec" doesn´t work

1

Hello
i cannot run jekyll with command “jekyll bundle exec” on local server. The output on terminal is:

bundle exec jekyll serve

what is the content of your config file? you may have some bad yaml?

I suspect you have a colon which is accidentally making a map.

e.g.

title: My homepage : Where my home is

And quotes to escape

title: 'My homepage : Where my home is'

And if you don’t need a string…

Correct use of a map with colons would be over multiple lines.

my-value:
  apple: 123
  banana: 456

Hi;
I still have problems… I can neither open Jekyll on local server, nor update the page on Github…it’s really frustrating :frowning:
The output in VSC terminal is as follows:

this looks like a different error, did you fix the first one?

Please add --trace to the serve command to get more info.

I have not fixed the problem. Also, I used the command ‘–trace’ and the result is :

for the second error I think somewhere you have text that is not encoded as utf 8.

Is this a new project that you can’t get to work? or an existing project that stopped working?

A long time ago jekyll had lots of issues with utf-8 but I thought they were fixed.

What are you using imagemagick for? can you disable it and see if you get the same error?
