I have a github site, an RStudio project, generating web pages for a course, https://github.com/friendly/psy6136 It is set up with a `docs/' folder and github action to deploy to my site https://friendly.github.io/psy6136
It has always worked flawlessly. But not today.
I recently re-built the site and pushed some updates. I get an error, https://github.com/friendly/psy6136/actions/runs/3885227416 I have no idea how to figure out where / what the problem is. The only thing I can see is the diff for the most recent commit, but nothing there strikes me as unusual.
Questions:
What can I do to find where the problem arises from what I can see in this error report?
RStudio uses a large collection of JS & CSS files to render the site as static HTML. Is there anything I can look at here that might show up as a cause of this error?
Follow-up:
Following this question, GitHub pages are not updating
I slightly edited my index.Rmd file, re-built the web pages (rmarkdown::render_site(encoding = 'UTF-8')) and pushed again. I got the same error report.
A solution:
I don't know why, but I finally got it to deploy by removing one line from
the header of my schedule.html file and moving the CSS contents inline.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" target="_blank" href="assets/styles.css">
Note added later:
Now I know why: A stupid error-- the file styles.css was missing the lines
<style type="text/css">
...
</style>
I'm still perplexed that the GitHub error report contains essentially no information to determine why a failure to deploy occurs.
