Error with avatars in for loops/variable-defined usernames about jekyll-avatar HOT 12 CLOSED

I'm facing the same issue.
I'm using this with:

{% for post in paginator.posts %}
  {% include post_preview.html %}
{% endfor %}

In post_preview.html, I've got:

{% avatar {{ author.social.github }} %}

which doesn't work, but this works:

{% avatar benbalter %}

So apparently, it takes only the first name's photo when used within a loop, but any fixed username call within the loop works just fine.

@benbalter please take a look at this when you can :)

Have you tried the user= format as described in https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-avatar#passing-the-username-as-variable?

Interesting, not sure what I did but it looks to be fixed now.

I'm seeing the same issue here. It seems to trigger when I use {% avatar {{ foo }} %} in a layout file, but not if I do it in an article. It's almost as if a variable gets cached from some previously rendered page or something like that.

Here's a reproduction case: https://github.com/kusma/jekyll-avatar-issue-37-repro

Render the reproduction, and observe that bar.html renders correctly, but foo.html gets the avatar from bar.html instead of the right one. I think that supports the caching hypothesis.

@kusma Were you able to reproduce this issue with Jekyll 3.9?

from jekyll-avatar.

Just tried, and no, it does not reproduce with Jekyll 3.9. So I guess there's some change in behavior in Jekyll 4.x that breaks this...

from jekyll-avatar.

Since this seems unrelated to what the other users have experienced (Jekyll 4.x wasn't our in 2019), I decided to create a new ticked. So please ignore this ;)
