Jekyll serve is not autoregenerating for changes

Help
1

I am using jekyll with bundler and so am using the command:

bundler exec jekyll serve --incremental

Recently I am finding that when I change a post locally, autoregeneration does not happen.

Stopping the server and restarting it does not cause the new content to be processed.

The only way I can get the new content to appear is by doing a clean and then regenerating the site.

I can’t think of anything that I’ve changed that would cause this. Has anyone has seen this before or have some suggestions as to the cause or a solution? Thank you.

The --incremental flag is still experimental. Does the issue still happen if you remove it?

That seems to have done the trick. Thank you!

The serve command prints this to the console, which doesn’t give the impression that it is an experimental feature:

Incremental build: disabled. Enable with --incremental

The option listing in jekyll help serve doesn’t give any hint that it’s experimental either.

I am still back on the jekyll supported by GitHub Pages, so that may have changed in newer versions.

Regardless - problem solved - thank you!

You are right about this weird output from jekyll serve. The only place I could find information about this feature being experimental is in the official documentation
