Unable to build site

[mttjj]

I installed the jekyll-gitlab-letsencrypt gem (version 0.0.1 is showing up when I run gem list). And I added the gem to my _config.yml so it looks like this: gems: [jekyll-paginate, jekyll-gitlab-letsencrypt] but running jekyll build always throws this error. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Dependency Error: Yikes! It looks like you don't have jekyll-gitlab-letsencrypt 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: 'cannot load such file -- jekyll-gitlab-letsencrypt' If you run into trouble, you can find helpful resources at https://jekyllrb.com/help/!

For reference, I'm using the second method of jekyll plugins mentioned on this page: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/plugins/

Please help and thank you!

Do add it to the Gemfile under the jekyll-plugins group, but don't add it to the _config's gems..

Gemfile

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem 'jekyll'
..

group :jekyll_plugins do
  ...
  gem 'jekyll-gitlab-letsencrypt'
end

_config.yml

...
# Plugins
gems:
  - jekyll-avatar
  - jekyll-feed
  - jekyll-seo-tag
  - jekyll-sitemap
   ...
  # NO jekyll-gitlab-letsencrypt

...

gitlab-letsencrypt:
  personal_access_token: 'secret'   
  gitlab_repo: 'secret' 
  email: 'secret'        
  ...

That worked and allowed me to start using the plugin. However my build keeps failing on Gitlab. It can't find the plugin (https://gitlab.com/mttjj/mttjj.gitlab.io/builds/18946354). What else am I doing wrong?

[JustinAiken]

In your gitlab ci config, try doing gem install bundler && bundle install instead of just gem install jekyll

FINALLY got it all working.

I moved all of my plugins to the Gemfile instead of a mix between the two. I updated my ci config to what it shows now. And then I was having trouble with a 404 page not found but I updated the pretty_url setting to true and everything started working.

Thanks for your help and for making this tool!
