Liquid Exception: GET 404 Not Found

[DirtyF]

If I don't set noscript: false in _config.yml, a Liquid exception is raised at build time:

/Users/frank/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/jekyll-gist-1.4.0/lib/jekyll-gist/gist_tag.rb:86: warning: constant Jekyll::Gist::GistTag::TimeoutError is deprecated

I don't know if it's related, but even if I add a JEKYLL_GITHUB_TOKEN with Gist, our tiny blog takes more than a minute to build 🐢 , with just two embedded Gists, whereas without gists it takes a few seconds. 🐎

At this point, I might as well remove the gists and insert code snippets 😥

@DirtyF It sounds like the timeouts we're using to fetch the gists are fairly high (30s to create connection, 30s to read, etc). Getting a 404 means the URL it's trying to hit doesn't exist – did you confirm that the gist still exists? Maybe our URL needs to be updated.

Thanks @parkr for the reply ❤️

I re-checked and the issue is still present if I remove gist.no-scriptoption from config.

What I don't get is that https://gist.github.com/DirtyF/24cb9c96b64173ecd85578f38bcc940d exists. 🤔

Gists are referenced by their ID alone, no need to put a username in front.

- {% gist DirtyF/24cb9c96b64173ecd85578f38bcc940d %}
+ {% gist 24cb9c96b64173ecd85578f38bcc940d %}

[DirtyF]

Indeed, it works if I remove the GitHub username. 🎉

Thanks! @pathawks

FYI I just followed blindly the example usage given in the README 😕

[parkr]

We should simply strip the username from the gist ID when noscript: true.

Can someone please reopen this issue as it is still a thing. Just ran into this myself. And yes, the gist being referered to does exist.
