Problem

The Jekyll deployment was failing due to a syntax error in assets/json/resume.json. The JSON file contained an incomplete URL field that was causing the json-minify gem to throw a SyntaxError during the build process:

Unable to pre-scan string: http:// (SyntaxError)

Root Cause

The assets/json/resume.json file was malformed in two ways:

  1. It contained an incomplete URL: "url": "http:// (missing closing quotes)
  2. The JSON structure was not properly terminated (missing closing braces)

This invalid JSON caused the Jekyll minification step to fail, preventing successful deployment to GitHub Pages.

Solution

  • Fixed the malformed JSON by removing the incomplete URL field and properly closing the JSON structure
  • Added validation script (bin/validate-json.sh) to prevent similar issues in the future
  • Validated all JSON files in the repository to ensure they are syntactically correct

Testing

  • All JSON files now pass Python's json.load() validation
  • The validation script successfully checks all JSON files in the repository
  • Local testing confirms the JSON syntax errors have been resolved

Files Changed

  • assets/json/resume.json - Fixed malformed JSON structure
  • bin/validate-json.sh - Added new executable script for JSON validation

The deployment should now succeed when changes are merged to the master branch.
