when I follow the guide in https://github.com/basarat/typescript-book/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md and run the command gitbook serve . I see this error:

Ah, so running the gitbook serve . command a second time seems to work.

it appears that after the first failure, somethign creates the missing adsense plugin.js file. odd. 🤔

I would still like to see this bug fixed, so that the gitbook serve . command works on the first try on a clean local dev install.

Having this issue as well. Would be great if it was fixed up.

Since gitbook version we are on is no longer relevant. Better if we just update contributing.md to specify that you should just:

• Edit the existing file
• If its a new file also update Summary.md
