quarto not generating index.xml file for rss feed in quarto site

[boshek]

Description

I have this site for which I'd like to add an rss feed. Based on the instructions here I just really need to add

listing:
  contents: posts
  feed: true

to my index.qmd file. My understanding is then invoking quarto render index.qmd should generate an index.xml file.

However when I do this here an index.xml file is not generated.

At first I thought that maybe the indentation was incorrect like this post but I don't think so. The indentation appear correct. So that I went over the quarto blog to see if a index.xml was in that repo: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-web/tree/main/docs/blog

There was not. So now I am pretty confused. Which step am I missing to actually generated that file OR where/when does it get generated? Right now I am not able to add the RSS feed but it feels like I must be missing something.

I am on quarto version 1.5.57 and am building the site locally and pushing it up.

Unfortunately I can't compile your website with 1.5.57 after a fresh clone, so I can't help:

$ qv 1.5.57 render

pandoc: /site_libs/quarto-nav/quarto-nav.js: withBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

I'm not quite sure what's causing that, but it would help if you can provide a clean example where the only issue is the feed generation.

Apologies. I have updated my post. Something about my 404 page was causing that so I just removed that for now and it now compiles with quarto render.
