Can you provide any guidance or suggestions with the following error?
blog-admin-backend-nikola-build-site: Invalid function: blog-admin-backend-nikola--with-venv
cd ~/blog && ~/nikola/bin/nikola build: exited abnormally with code 3.
Are you able to build your site without using blog-admin? Simple running nikola build on the terminal.
Can you execute this command and tell me what happens?
(shell-command "cd ~/blog && ~/nikola/bin/nikola")
Sorry, i thought "B ... Build Site" would initialize the blog.
Entering nikola init blog at the command line initializes the blog, and a subsequent "build site" runs without error.
However I now see the following error when I try to "write a new post";
ctbl:cp-get-component: Not found ctbl:component attribute...
Symbol's function definition is void: file-attribute-modification-time
Looks like the function is pretty new in Emacs. I'll make some changes and push a fix. Thanks for testing this out, and sorry for the issues you are facing!
I pushed a fix for this but GitHub is having issues. The commit will only show up after things are normal.
Thank you. I pull from melpa anyway, so it takes several hours for changes here to be reflected there.
I still have that issue today, is the fix in melpa already?
Yes, it should be available in Melpa. Can you check that you have the latest version of blog-admin installed? https://melpa.org/#/blog-admin
I installed it 3 days ago and did the lates updates via list-packages (see below).
How could I help you with further debugging?
[martin@martin-arch ~]$ ls ~/.emacs.d/elpa/blog*
/home/martin/.emacs.d/elpa/blog-admin-readme.txt
/home/martin/.emacs.d/elpa/blog-admin-20160530.2350:

blog-admin-autoloads.el~ blog-admin-backend-hexo.el blog-admin-backend-nikola.elc blog-admin.el
blog-admin-backend.el blog-admin-backend-hexo.elc blog-admin-backend-org-page.el blog-admin.elc
Can you tell me the version of Emacs you are using?
Also, it would help if you M-x toggle-debug-on-error and share the full traceback.
I found out that there is a
Scanning posts...
(Shell command failed with code 3 and some error output)
Scanning posts... Done!
before that message.
And there is
"cd %s && %s status -Pd"in blog-admin-backend-nikola.el, line 81
So I tried it and found out that my nikola does not support the -P flag (Nikola v7.7.8)
So maybe its that?
Yes, that is the issue. You will have to wait for the next release or get onto the master branch of Nikola.
ok that was easy (on arch linux) - works now
I think this issue is resolved now, and can be closed. Feel free to re-open/create a new issue, if required.
