Error: bad URI(is not URI?): http://localhost:4000

[evertonfraga]

I get this while trying to run it locally.

Any clues? I am using jekyll-target-blank 2.0.0 and jekyll 3.8.5.

Hi @evertonfraga

Thank you for your question. I don't think this is an issue with the plugin but an issue with your specific setup.

I would need more details in order to help you.

Just ran into a similar bug where I didn't have url specified in my _config.yml at all. I don't know much about ruby, but in my case it seemed like the bug occurred on line 195 of jekyll-target-blank.rb when it tried to use @site_url and it was null. However, explicitly adding url to my _config.yml fixed it. In your case, using your final URL instead of localhost in your _config.yml might work.

Yepp...thank you @csculley that all make sense.

[evertonfraga]

@csculley that wasn't my case, as I did have @site_url set, and even tried some combinations of local/remote URLs.

I will debug further this week.

I'm running jekyll-target-blank 2.0.0 and jekyll 4.0.0

I also have a url specified in my _config.yml file.

Thanks!

[jgarofoli]

I had this issue, it may help it the README.md mentions that setting the url in _config.yml is required. Thanks!

I am having the exact same issue:

The URL is totally correct (https://blogs.adobe.com/digitalmarketing/), but the RFC3986 parser claims it's a bad URI. This error does not happen when removing the plugin.

I really want to use this plugin, as it does exactly what I am looking for. Any clues why this is happening?
