Skip Jekyll-watch installation in deployment pipeline?

Help
1

I’m wondering if it’s possible to skip jekyll-watch installation in my deployment pipeline as it’s the main bottleneck.

In my case the entire deployment takes almost 3m 30s and 95% of the time is wasted on jekyll-watch installation.

Is there a way to install it only on my local dev machine and totally skip it in my pipeline? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I’m attaching the deployment logs here in case those could be useful, I’m using Cloudflare pages to be specific

try removing it from your gemfile.lock? it is before the install jekyll line, not sure if it will just do it again when it gets there.

I assume you are using docker as part of this? could you find a docker container that already has jekyll installed?

3

I’ve tried to remove the dep from the Gemfile.lock but it still installs it, it seems like Jekyll itself has it as a dep? I’m using Cloudflare Pages with the Jekyll configuration so I don’t have control over the deployment details :confused:

4

yes, I am sure it is a jekyll dep so I guess it is installing it anyways.

I’m not familiar with CF so, maybe ask them? I would guess you could make your own custom build script with them and then you’d probably be able to use a container that was all setup already.

At any rate 3-4 minutes for a deploy isn’t all that bad for the things I work on, I’d guess you’d be ok with it if it wasn’t for the log that seems to show it is all one thing that isn’t even needed!

Not a direct solution, but you could look into caching the installed Gems. From the docs, it looks like CF has some caching support, but maybe not explicitly for Ruby. Possibly you could install Gems into .cache by setting the GEM_HOME environment variable, but that’s just a guess. Cache docs:
