Failed to deploy to GitLab

[newptcai]

The pipeline failed when the follow is executed

julia --project=@. -e 'import Pkg; Pkg.instantiate(); using NodeJS; run(`$(npm_cmd()) install highlight.js`); using Franklin; optimize()'

The error is

ERROR: MethodError: no method matching joinpath(::Nothing)

See details here.

1. did this use to work before and stopped working all of a sudden? what did you do between the time it did work and now? the error is not very clear but I don't think it's an issue with Franklin...
2. if you run the command above locally, does it work fine? are the generated files in __site as you expect them?

Could you try not using instantiate, removing the Manifest.toml and using this instead:

import Pkg; Pkg.add(Pkg.PackageSpec(;name="Franklin", version="0.10.58"));

so

julia --project=@. -e 'import Pkg; Pkg.add(Pkg.PackageSpec(;name="Franklin", version="0.10.58")); using NodeJS; run(`$(npm_cmd()) install highlight.js`); using Franklin; optimize()'

I have not updated anything package in Franklin.
It works well locally without any problem.
So I guess it's problem on GitLab side, or something wrong with the Docker image.

Besides what you suggested, is it possible to just manually push the __site to GitLab?

[tlienart]

could you try the Pkg.add without Manifest so we can rule this out?

Besides what you suggested, is it possible to just manually push the __site to GitLab?

yes, what you can do is:

1. run the command locally
2. push to gitlab including the __site folder
3. have a pipeline that does mv __site public so basically this one https://gitlab.com/newptcai/newptcai.gitlab.io/-/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml but without https://gitlab.com/newptcai/newptcai.gitlab.io/-/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml#L10-13

Thanks a lot. Using Pkg.add resolves the issue.
