I have a Jekyll blog. I tried to push out a new page today and the build failed, with a strange error unrelated to my actual blog source:
Invalid date '<%= Time.now.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z') %>': Document 'cache/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/jekyll-3.8.5/lib/site_template/_posts/0000-00-00-welcome-to-jekyll.markdown.erb' does not have a valid date in the YAML front matter.
(I don’t know why this file is getting processed: it’s is in a library and part of a generic template, not part of my blog. Based on the error message, it seems to be getting processed by Jekyll without first getting preprocessed by ERB. I also don’t know why that would happen.)
It all builds fine locally. The Ruby version (2.6.3) is the same locally and in the deploy.
I was curious whether this actually had anything to do with my actual source, so I reverted the change back to the last successful deploy. That build failed too. So, the exact source that built successfully yesterday at 11:33am Eastern, is failing today as of 10:26am Eastern.
One difference I notice is that yesterday the build version was @netlify/build 29.5.7, and today it is using 29.5.8. I also notice that it’s installing a lot more dependencies, rather than using cached ones. I’m not sure if either of those are a clue.
Any clues or suggestions? Thank you!
