If I build my site using "ram" mode, I get the following errors, which end the build process:

/home/neil/BSSG/scripts/build/ram_mode.sh: line 39: BSSG_RAM_FILE_CONTENT: bad array subscript

If I use the "normal" mode, the site builds correctly.

The line scripts/build/content.sh: line 59: /home/neil/dl_bssg/.bssg_cache/meta/: Is a directory is correct: there is a directory at that path.

Sorry, I am not sure what other useful information I could provide here.

Not hijacking the thread but adding my own observations…

macOS Tahoe 26.3.1
GNU bash, version 5.3.9(1)-release (aarch64-apple-darwin24.6.0)
(bash installed via homebrew)
bssg: updated to cbc08b0

I too saw these errors recently when starting fresh on a new site. (bad array subscript; grep: no such file or directory)

I switched to ’normal’ build mode and carried on as Neil did. Since then I’ve added several pages and posts.

Today when sitting down to respond I decided to switch back to ‘ram’ mode to duplicate the problem… and guess what? I am no longer getting the errors.

I will try to duplicate the problem again...

Okay - I’ve got two sites, and the other one does continue to exhibit the errors when “ram” mode is enabled.

And you fixed it! “no pages” was the issue. Thanks!
