#1

Hi I’m new to jekyll deployment with Netlify. Everything works well on my localhost but won’t build on deployment.

“failed during stage ‘building site’: Build script returned non-zero exit code: 127”

My github repo is https://github.com/boschbird/xyz-dylanbird

Also in the deploy settings i have:

Build command: jekyll build

Publish directory: _site/

The following is the deployment log:

Deploy error with jekyll
#2

A good guide for setting up Jekyll and Netlify is here.

$ bundle install

This will install the jekyll gem and create a file called Gemfile.lock. This file will ensure that Netlify always uses the same version of Jekyll that you used to build your site, thus avoiding any nasty surprises.

Make sure the gemfile.lock is committing into your repository.

Thanks for this! I was following the guide (but not closely enough). In my gemfile I had commented out

# gem “jekyll”

So when I ran ‘bundle install’ it didn’t do anything. I forgot to remove the # symbol. My bad!

Jekyll Build Error Using 2.6.2 Ruby Version
#6

I found what the problem was!

my gemfile was named:
gemfile with a lower “g” instead of Gemfile with a capital “G”.

Is there a reason why Netlify build wont read the file with a lower case?

I cant believe I spent hours on this for a capital letter!

Definitely the cause of the problem - case sensitivity has stolen so many hours from so many devs! Thanks for posting the fix :smiley: :muscle:
