Template no longer included in site after upgrade from 1.4.3 to 2.0.2 about jekyll-help HOT 8 CLOSED

My basic-template repo includes a ruby plugin (MoreaGenerator.rb). I disabled the plugin (by renaming it to MoreaGenerator.txt) and found that the problem still exists under Jekyll 2.0.2 but not under 1.4.3. So there must be something simple that I'm doing wrong that causes my morea.html layout to not be included when index.md is compiled to index.html.

I just created a more detailed description of my problem with Jekyll 2.0.2 here:

I have run your site in Jekyll 2.0.2 and I'm seeing this:

It seems it's working, no?

No, that image indicates it's broken (and that you're using the master branch, not the jekyll-2.0 branch). When correctly generated (as happens in 1.4.3) you should see a page styled using bootstrap similar to this:

Your template has no default layout, though it is referenced from your post layout:

I can't see how this could have worked in 1.4.3 either. You need to have a default layout.

Thanks, renaming the layout morea.html to default.html and updating
references did fix my problem.

Since index.md was a page, not a post, it was not obvious to me that the
reference to a layout called default in post.html would matter to
index.html generation (and, obviously, it did not matter under Jekyll
1.4.3).

Maybe update the docs at some point to specify that a layout called
default.html is required?

I appreciate your quick response!

No worries, I'm glad I was able to resolve it for you.

AFAIK, nothing has changed in this behaviour though, there always has to be a default layout file whether it is called default or not. You were asking Jekyll to render content to a file that didn't exist, that will always cause a break.

The only thing that defines if the output of the index file is a page, post or anything else is the layout specified in the files front-matter.
