Hi folks, I’m trying to get started building my Nikola-based site on Netlify. I’m having trouble using both Node and Python with Pipfile.
My first attempt nearly worked: it installed dependencies from my Pipfile
(once I’d specified the right Python version) and mostly built the site but then couldn’t find lessc
which my theme use to compile my stylesheets. I added less as a dependency using yarn
(I’d been using the distribution package locally) and pushed, but then the build process couldn’t find npm
so wouldn’t build. Eventually I ripped out Pipfile
and replaced it with an equivalent requirements.txt
and the build finally works.
This is really annoying because I’d much prefer to use pipenv
to manage my Python dependencies. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug with how the Pipfile
is used on the Netlify end?
Cheers,
Jez
