Jekyll's “--auto” doesn't work?

Question

I have just reinstalled my whole system and started working on my projects again. I used and still use Jekyll in some of them however I have a problem with auto generation u

Answer 1

Seems to be caused by recent changes to the directory_watcher gem. Rolling the gem back fixed the issue for me:

sudo gem uninstall directory_watcher && sudo gem install directory_watcher -v 1.4.1

Answer 2

I was able to fix this by hard-locking the directory_watcher gem as per @lilakai, but I did it a different way:

Added this line to my gemfile (within the development group):

gem 'directory_watcher', '1.4'

And ran:

bundle update directory_watcher

Everything worked once I did this (as it locked my version to 1.4, which I confirmed via the Gemfile.lock). I prefer managing all of my gems directly through bundler as opposed to through system ruby.

I ran into this problem using the most recent version of Octopress (https://github.com/imathis/octopress) at the time of this post.
