#11276 no magazine feed on start.fedoraproject.org
Closed: Fixed by ryanlerch. Opened by ryanlerch.

Reopen Issue

First reported on https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedoras-start-page-has-no-content/81826/8

But the start.fedoraproject.org page is no longer rendering the fedoramagazine feed. This rendering is done by this script:

https://pagure.io/fedora-websites/blob/main/f/start.fedoraproject.org/build/magfeed.py

and i believe it is this job that periodically updates the pagure.io/fedora-websites sites from the git repo to openshift.

here is the error on the image build that i presume is causing us issues:

Ok!

I was able to figure out what happened. There was a nbsp right at the end of the opening paragraph of this post:

https://fedoramagazine.org/anaconda-installer-partitioning-and-storage-survey-results/

which was giving issues to the pybabel module. I have removed the nbsp; and next time the page gets updated, this issue should be resolved.

note that i could re-create the issue by following the directions on the fedora-websites git repo for setting up a dev instance, and just trying to build with 'make en test' in start.fedoraproject.org

Metadata Update from @ryanlerch:
- Issue close_status updated to: Fixed
- Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)

note that there is a new version of this start page being worked on by the websites-apps team, so not going to bother trying to fix the underlying issue here.
