I’m running Jekyll on my windows machine (not by choice sadly) and when I launch the jekyll serve command I keep getting following output
even though I am not changing anything…I haven’t had this experience on any other OS. Any ideas what might be causing this? I tried looking for the file, it does not exist. I tried adding it to the exclude section of the _config.yml.
Puzzling.
Run Jekyll in verbose mode with a flag. Check the output build directory for that file
Clone a fresh repo and see if the problem happens there too
@amihaescu There’s a chance that your IDE (or text-editor perhaps) is adding a temporary file to your source.
I created a new one from scratch and got the exact same behavior. I didn’t open it in an editor.
With regard to the test repo made from scratch, are you seeing the same Regenerating … CV.TMP in the terminal output?
yes, it is exactly the same behavior.
these are my versions:

You seem to have incremental: true in your config file. Try changing it to false and restart the server.
I also tried that, but I got exactly the same behavior…
Then I guess you have to explicitly exclude CY.TMP from triggering a regen. In your config file, if there’s a key named exclude, add CY.TMP to the list under it. If not add it:
exclude:
- README.md
- CY.TMP
Also tried that…still the same…
I have tried searching for that file…but I got nothing…
The following is a hack
In your source directory, create a directory named _plugins.
Inside that directory, create a file named watcher-patch.rb and paste the following contents:
# frozen_string_literal: true
require 'jekyll-watch'
module Jekyll
module Watcher
extend self
alias_method :original_listen_ignore_paths, :listen_ignore_paths
def listen_ignore_paths(options)
original_listen_ignore_paths(options) + [%r!.*\.TMP!i]
end
end
end
Then try restarting the Jekyll server.
I just tried it…if I do it as you suggested I get
C:/Ruby26-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/jekyll-watch-2.2.1/lib/jekyll/watcher.rb:100:in `listen_ignore_paths’: wrong number of arguments (given 0, expected 1) (ArgumentError)
If I remove the options argument I get
C:/Users/andrei_mihaescu/gitwork/blog/_plugins/watcher-patch.rb:11:in `listen_ignore_paths’: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 0) (ArgumentError)
Btw thank you for trying to help me.
Sorry. There’s a small typo.
It should have been original_listen_ignore_paths(options) instead. I’ve updated the code above.
Wow…that actually worked 
thank you so much. You are a legend.
You’re welcome. However, it is only a temporary solution.
You may encounter the same error on a different jekyll site.
