jekyll 2.0.3 Error: undefined method `pygments_prefix' for #<Jekyll::Converters::Identity>

Question

I am trying to jekyll serve a website that was created with a previous version of jekyll.

I had to update my _config.yml file from this:

#Build settings
markdown: rdiscount
pygments: true
paginate: 100
permalink: pretty

To this:

#Build settings
markdown: rdiscount
highlighter: pygments
paginate: 100
permalink: pretty

This should be OK but I get the following error when I try to serve the application.

jekyll 2.0.3 Error:  undefined method `pygments_prefix' for #<Jekyll::Converters::Identity>`

Any help on that? Thank you

Answer 1

According to my experience with the very same problem, this function and its `suffix' sibling have been renamed to highlighter_prefix and highlighter_suffix in Jekyll 2.0.3.

This is probably caused by one of your plugins, grep them out and replace them and things might just work.

Good luck!
