Has anyone run across this issue yet?

For clarity, this happened to me after I upgraded from v0.19.0 to v0.20.0

[David Herman]

Can you identify the markdown in your site that is breaking?

[Ryan Scott]

It's probably something like this: _something_

[Ryan Scott]

Yep.

[Ryan Scott]

That's it.

[David Herman]

Just at the top level? Or like inside a link or anything?

[Ryan Scott]

Top level.

[Ryan Scott]

Inside a link or a code block or something, that wouldn't get treated as special.

[David Herman]

Wild, can't believe I never triggered that

[Ryan Scott]

I'm looking for other occurrences.

[David Herman]

Thanks

[Ryan Scott]

There are a few other occurrences.

[Ryan Scott]

I will temporarily remove them and try again to isolate the issue.

[David Herman]

Thanks

[Ryan Scott]

okay--that wasn't the root cause.

[Ryan Scott]

Still getting the same error, though, when attempting to process markdown. Some files seem to succeed, but some files do not.

[Ryan Scott]

Downgrading to 0.19.3 does not result in this issue.

[Ryan Scott]

From the release notes, I see that the version of commonmark was upgraded.

[David Herman]

I just tested locally:

Markdown test: *bold*, _italic_, and **bold italic** text.

and it worked fine.

[David Herman]

The last time we updated commonmark dependencies in Kobweb was November 2023

[Ryan Scott]

Yah--I don't think that is the root cause.

[Ryan Scott]

I'm wondering whether this has to do with the project layout.

[Ryan Scott]

I dunno. Everything was working fine for me on 0.19.0.

[Ryan Scott]

I actually just verified that this error occurs on 0.19.1.

[Ryan Scott]

And it doesn't have to do with the layout.

[David Herman]

Are you doing anything custom in your build.gradle.kts file with markdown handlers?

[Ryan Scott]

Yes.

[Ryan Scott]

handlers {
            val packageName = "com.fsryan.site.components"

            code.set { code ->
                "$packageName.code.CodeBlock(text = \"\"\"${code.literal.escapeTripleQuotedText()}\"\"\", lang = ${
                    code.info.takeIf { it.isNotBlank() }?.let { "\"$it\"" }
                })"
            }
        }

[Ryan Scott]

I lifted that from your site.

[David Herman]

You can try commenting it out just in case but it probably isn't that

[Ryan Scott]

Just to check on the versions:

jetbrains-compose = "1.7.1"
kobweb = "0.20.0"
kotlin = "2.1.0"

[Ryan Scott]

Yah--commenting out that section didn't help.

[David Herman]

Just an update in case anyone is lurking -- this was a crash due to markdown text like this:

> *Note*
> Here is a note

In 0.19.1, we introduced a new callout syntax which looks like this:

> [!NOTE]
> Here is a note

I would NOT have expected that to crash the kind of text Ryan was using, but it does look like I have some bad logic in there. I'll fix it for 0.20.1, although hopefully the average person won't get hit with this.

[Ryan Scott]

Yep--just abnormal people like me.

[Ryan Scott]

🙂

[David Herman]

0.20.1-SNAPSHOT should have the fix!
