Jekyll on Windows: Pygments not working

问题:

I updated to the latest JekyllBuild (1.0.3) before I always used the RC. After updating the parsing of codes (with Pygments) doesn't work anymore. I always get the following error:

C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/posix-spawn-0.3.6/lib/posix/spawn.rb:162: warning: cannot close fd before spawn
←[31m  Liquid Exception: No such file or directory - /bin/sh in 2012-01-17-test-post.md←[0m

Did anyone also ran into this problem?

I have no clue about ruby, so I can not debug this myself :(

回答1:

I had the same issue. Seems there's a problem in Pygments.rb 0.5.1. By rolling back to Pygments 0.5.0 the error disappeared.

gem uninstall pygments.rb --version ">0.5.0"
gem install pygments.rb --version "=0.5.0"

Hope this helps.

回答2:

Expanding upon zzheng's explanation, if you're still having issues try running gem list. Then make sure pygments.rb (0.5.2) isn't installed. If it is, just run this command.

gem uninstall pygments.rb --version "=0.5.2"

That should take care of your problem, and you should be able to publish with Jekyll happily on Windows once again.

EDIT: Also, based upon my own experience, this may cause another error. Liquid Error: Failed to get header. in 2013-07-20-post-name-here.md. The (unconfirmed) solution is to install Python 2.7.* if you have not already done so, although some people report that this does not fix the problem.

回答3:

if you add highlighter: false to your config.yml, you can avoid loading Pygments at all

Lately, I've found the best way to deploy jekyll or whatever else environment on windows is using http://scoop.sh/ or https://chocolatey.org/.

---

This error is mainly for the reason that Windows Shell can not find this command 'which' but Cygwin and MinGW. I think the best solution is modifying the popen.rb

to this below:

# Detect a suitable Python binary to use. We can't just use `python2`
# because apparently some old versions of Debian only have `python` or
# something like that.
def python_binary
    if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /(mswin|mingw|cygwin|bccwin)/
        return 'python'
    end
    @python_binary ||= begin
        `which python2`
        $?.success? ? "python2" : "python"
    end
end

There are also some details according to This page .

Adding to what @noobcode said, you can actually continue to use pygments.rb if you add the Python27 directory (wherever you stored it) to your path (as another user mentioned in a response to a thread above).

Those who don't have any idea how to add the directory to their PATH should visit this site.

Look at https://github.com/juthilo/run-jekyll-on-windows/. It helps with Jekyll problems on Windows, including Pygments (from https://github.com/juthilo/run-jekyll-on-windows/#install-python-environment and up).

I know this is answered but sharing my experience. So it appears that the issue lies with pygments.rb of ruby installation. After installing jekyll and trying to run at localhost it would give an error at the default post file. By deleting the syntax highlighting code from the markdown file (see below) and removing the reference of pygments from _config.yml file, I was able to run it on the localhost.

{% highlight ruby %}

def print_hi(name)
    puts "Hi, #{name}"
end

print_hi('Tom')

prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
{% endhighlight %}

Remove the striked-out lines

The changes worked however am yet to figure out if there is a possible way to use the pygments.rb for code highlighting.

回答8:

For me, the fix was to add a symbolic link to python.exe called python2.exe

Do this, with elevated privileges, in the directory where python 2.x is installed:

mklink python2.exe python.exe

回答9:

Just for a reference to those who meet the same problem like me. I had python 2.7.6 installed first and then installed python 3.3.0. So re-install python 2.7.6 fixed the problem for me. pygments.rb (0.5.4) Python 2.7.6 ruby 1.8.7 (2012-02-08 patchlevel 358) [universal-darwin12.0] jekyll 1.4.3 OSX 10.8.5

回答10:

Go into the directory that has python.exe and copy and paste it into a new file named python2.exe. Fixed!
