Invalid canonical text

[umpirsky]

Here is my config.

After publishing url is about:invalid#zSoyz on Medium.

I tried to debug with:

if @settings['text']
          canonical_text = "#{@settings['text']}"
          canonical_text = canonical_text.gsub /{{ url }}/, canonical_url
+          puts "START"
+          puts @site.config
+          puts @site.config['url']
+          puts @settings['text']
+          puts canonical_url
+          puts canonical_text
+          puts "END"
      # Otherwise, use boilerplate
      else

Got:

Looks like url config is not correctly processed or configured.

I guess images don't work for the same reason.

Do you have url set in your _config.yml?

In the plugin:

url = "#{@site.config['url']}#{post.url}"

[umpirsky]

@aarongustafson I shared my config in the issue description. Yes, I have it. I also shared debug data, url is http://0.0.0.0:4000 for some reason, and not http://wall.umpirsky.com like I configured.

I will check out your repo and see if I can debug further. I’ve been using it for quite some time now and never ran into this issue.

@aarongustafson Thanks, here is the steps to setup:

• git clone git@github.com:umpirsky/wall.git
• cd wall
• git checkout medium
• cp .env.dist .env
• Add your values to .env file.
• docker-compose up

[aarongustafson]

I think I figured it out: You’re running it in Docker with jekyll serve which (I think) overrides the site’s URL config. I built the Docker instance and then started up the bash console inside of Docker using

docker-compose run site bash

And then ran bundle exec jekyll build (with my Medium access tokens in place) and it worked.

Worked, thanks!
