Following the official update guide, I recently upgraded from Jekyll 2.x to Jekyll 3.1.1.
After the installation, running jekyll serve
produced the following error:
Dependency Error: Yikes! It looks like you don't have
jekyll-markdown-block
or one of its dependencies installed. In order to use Jekyll as currently configured, you'll need to install this gem. The full error message from Ruby is: 'Unable to activatejekyll-markdown-block-1.1.0
, becausejekyll-3.1.1
conflicts withjekyll (~> 2.0)
' If you run into trouble, you can find helpful resources at http://jekyllrb.com/help/!
So from there I sudo gem update jekyll-markdown-block
, but the error still persisted. I then tried to update all of my gems:
sudo gem update `gem list | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
And then out of desperation, uninstalled all of my gems (except the core one, which I was not permitted to uninstall):
sudo gem uninstall `gem list | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
I then proceeded to install jekyll like normal (assuming I was now working from a clean slate):
sudo gem install jekyll
Fetching: liquid-3.0.6.gem (100%)
Successfully installed liquid-3.0.6
Fetching: kramdown-1.9.0.gem (100%)
Successfully installed kramdown-1.9.0

After then installing jekyll-press
and jekyll-markdown-block
(a new error message complained I didn't have them), I then received the original error message complaining about Jekyll 2.x.
How can I fully remove Jekyll 2.x and complete the upgrade without gem dependency errors?
