Same issue !! with GitBook version 3.2.2 on Windows 7

Answer 7 · 2017-08-14T05:11:13.000Z

As a workaround, just put module.exports = {} in fontsettings.js. Upon next restart it will be filled out with some generated content.

I got it @everyone .

I turn off my virus-killing software. Then that's OK

Another way to solve this issue is that:

cd ~/.gitbook/versions/版本/lib/output/website/
vim copyPluginAssets.js
try to delete confirm: ture in the bottom, about line112.

Answer 18 · 2019-01-17T12:33:16.000Z

@RetP, it doen't help. The issue still occurs.

All in all, I've moved to MkDocs.

Answer 19 · 2019-01-17T16:26:08.000Z

~/.gitbook/versions/lib/output/website/copyPluginAssets.js

Line 112

return fs.copyDir(
        assetsFolder,
        assetOutputFolder,
        {
            deleteFirst: false,
            overwrite: true,
            // Edited this line
            confirm: false
        }
    );

helps me :)

Thanks to @RetP !

@RetP My linux CI server doesn't have antivirus software installed. But I've faced the issue. And removing "confirm: true" hasn't helped.

Answer 22 · 2019-01-29T07:11:20.000Z

@remal what about OpenVPN or a tunneled network? I wouldn't have thought they'd present an issue, but... I have those. You never know.

Answer 23 · 2019-01-29T13:50:36.000Z

@pospi I use GitLab CI runner, that executes scripts in Docker containers... I confiured GitLab CI runner to spawn a new VM via docker-machine to run Docker containers.

cd ~/.gitbook/versions/版本/lib/output/website/
vim copyPluginAssets.js
try to delete confirm: ture in the bottom, about line112.

Bug in confirm: true is fixed in cpr@3 (davglass/cpr#57), but gitbook still depends on cpr@1.

Installation of patched cpr using gitbook's npm:

cd ~/.gitbook/versions/3.2.3
npx npm install cpr@3

Same error, please fix.

this fix helps with fontsettings error but site still not generating. Output directory always empty even if I try real projects like github.com:eucariot/SDSM.git with v3.2.3. v4.0.0-alpha.6 generates empty pages. gitbook update tries to setup v2.6.9 which is also not work

Looks like commercialization kills this project
