mynt julep

2013 Nov 08

So I decided to make some blog posts after a long while of no posts. mynt was was however exiting with an error:

>> Parsing
>> Processing
>> Rendering
!! Template not found.
..  post.html in post 'austin'

After checking the format of my post I tried an explicit source and destination path with both mynt gen -f and mynt gen -c variations. The first did nothing and the second produced an empty _site directory. I upgraded:

login [put your admin name here]
sudo pip install --upgrade mynt
exit

This time mynt generated the site but with an infinite number of /assets/css directories.

I thrashed around a little, googled a little, then decided to uninstall and then do a fresh install:

login [put your admin name here]
sudo pip uninstall mynt
sudo pip install mynt
sudo pip install --upgrade mynt
exit

It worked; mynt is now working correctly. I had been messing with some other script and I suspect that one of the packages that mynt uses had been upgraded by the other script that I installed.
