17:49 <cootcraig> nanoc compile fail: `autodetect': Could not find a JavaScript runtime. https://gist.github.com/CootCraig/592179bc195c985db406

17:53 <cootcraig> installing nodejs seems to fix.

17:56 <bobthecow> cootcraig: any time you're using a js-based tool in ruby, you need a js runtime. there are lots of 'em, but the simplest to get is prolly just installing node :)

17:56 <bobthecow> ExecJS is just a generic library that calls out to whatever js runtime you have available.

18:00 <cootcraig> Yup. Why is JS required though?

18:01 <cootcraig> I'm moving from a system using jruby to a system with cruby. Didn't need nodejs, but probably ahd therubyracer

18:04 <bobthecow> uglify is a javascript library.

18:04 <bobthecow> as are most frontend tools, these days.

18:06 <cootcraig> Well I'm happy that nanoc compiles now, but it was a brief mystery

18:09 <cootcraig> bobthecow: I keep running into nodejs. I should learn to use it (and love it). This is the first it was required for me.

18:10 <bobthecow> it's pretty great.

18:10 <bobthecow> but in this case, you could have used libv8/therubyracer, or any number of other js runtimes.

18:10 <bobthecow> now that you have it, though, you should play :)

18:12 <cootcraig> gem therubyracer was installed. nanoc compile failed until I apt-get install nodejs

18:13 <cootcraig> Problem with ExecJS?

18:14 <guardian> cootcraig: execjs needs a JS vm, either therubyracer, node or can use the system on on mac

18:15 <tom[]> bobthecow: o/

18:15 <tom[]> i gotta bobthefish question

18:15 <cootcraig> But nanoc compile fail with therubyracer. success after nodejs

18:27 <cootcraig> What is available for nanoc templates for a personal blog site?

18:34 <cootcraig> I found h3rald.com on the nanoc wiki. This looks like a site to study and copy.

18:37 <bobthecow> cootcraig: i don't know of many templates for nanoc, but there are quite a few open source nanoc sites on the wiki.

18:39 <cootcraig> bobthecow: This list https://github.com/nanoc/nanoc/wiki/Samples

18:48 <bobthecow> a lot more here: https://github.com/nanoc/nanoc/wiki/Showcase

18:49 <bobthecow> not all of 'em are open source, but probably half are?

18:51 <cootcraig> bobthecow: Thanks, that's helpful. I had not stumbled on that page yet.

20:32 <Caster_> Hi folks! I am trying out nanoc and liking it so far. Bit of a ruby noob, but plenty of experience in other languages. Now I am trying to use LESS and after some fiddling (couple of hours now... :( ) I am stuck with a 'NoMethodError'. Would someone be willing to help me out? :)

20:44 <Caster_> It happened as soon as I removed the stylesheet.css file from the thing 'create-site' made for me, but I cannot find any references to stylesheet

20:46 <Caster_> Ooooooh, I feel stupid.

20:46 <Caster_> <%= @items['/stylesheet/'].path %> in the default.html layout...
