Nothing made

after_build_makes names a file or a folder the site’s after_build command makes in the built site, and once the command had run there was nothing there.

What you’ll see

warning  Nothing made: `after_build` left nothing at `search/`
  More: https://statac.dev/e/nothing-made/

In the terminal the message also names the file and line where there is one, and marks the exact text.

Why Statac warns

Statac takes every link into what after_build_makes names to land, since the command makes it after the pages are built. Where the command makes nothing there, those links lead nowhere on the published site, and nothing else would say so.

How to fix it

Check where the command writes. It must write into the folder Statac hands it as STATAC_OUT, and after_build_makes names the place from the top of that folder: search/ for a folder, feed.json for a file.

Where the command no longer makes it, take the name out of after_build_makes.

Example

In statac.yaml:

after_build: ./index.sh "$STATAC_OUT/find"
after_build_makes: [search/]

The command writes to find/. Write after_build_makes: [find/], or have the command write to search/.

Its name

Name	nothing-made
In the terminal	statac explain nothing-made
To stop showing it	quiet: [nothing-made] in statac.yaml, once you have understood it. Statac still counts it.
