Unable to build a website locally about website HOT 4 CLOSED

Sounds like a plan - and I'll take a look at bumping Wyam, there's been a few breaking changes recently so hopefully whatever was breaking on this site is just a quick refactoring.

The underlying problem looks like Wyam is pinned to 1.2.0 which was released back in January. There's been a few breaking changes in Cake over that time so when the Cake version used by the website build recently got updated, it fell out of sync with the older version of Wyam (newer version of Wyam support the newer version of Cake).

The fix in #152 should resolve the problem short-term since I don't think the Cake.Wyam addin is doing anything exotic that would break on a newer version of Cake. A better long-term fix is to update Wyam to the latest (1.5.0 was released yesterday). I'll take a look at doing PR for that update.

Rodney tried updating to 1.4 something very recently and we were getting exceptions in the blog generation so decided to keep it at 1.2 until we could work it out.

The problem is this PR #144

I was unable to build locally because I have global cake config and am setup for versioned dependencies.

When I made that change I was trying to avoid making the change to the bootstrapper. Hind sight, that was the right place to fix the problem.

With the Cake version bump I elected to stay with Wyam 1.2 because 1.4 blog generation broke.

So we should take the --settings_skipverification and move it to the bootstrappers so this issue goes away.
