Newbie problems with wdm errors

Here is the solution, discovered by trial and error.

In the file called ‘gemfile’ in the jekyll directory, there is the following line:

gem "wdm", "~> 0.1.1", :platforms => [:mingw, :x64_mingw, :mswin]

Removing this line removes the problem

So it’s to do with the WDM ‘watch’ service. But this is inessential, so it functions without it.

The docs suggest substituting a slightly different line which I think is intended to do the same thing. It doesn’t work either.

Should I perhaps raise a query about the fact that WDM doesn’t function?
