Path not being set properly when using metalsmith-in-place about collections HOT 5 CLOSED

I also have noticed that the path for the filenames when collections is run is being set using the *.md.njk format.

I have created my own articles plugin that modifies the navigation for my articles based on the file structure and also the path. The issue I am having is that it appears I have to run metalsmith-in-place before metalsmith-collections in order to get the path to be correct so something like articles/first-series/first-page.md.njk rather than articles/first-series/first-page.html.

Hi @jcrawford. That is not a bug but expected behaviour. metalsmith-in-place changes the filenames after transforming. That doesn't mean that you won't be able to use collections or pagination though, just that you'll have to take this transformation into account. See how I'm doing it here for example: https://github.com/ismay/ismaywolff.nl/blob/master/metalsmith.js. I'll close this since it's not a bug or feature request. Hope that helps. For further help I recommend the slack channel, which is meant for support requests. Thanks!

I am not sure I see what you are doing differently, I am specifying the pattern in the collections options as well.

In that case, maybe I’ve misunderstood your question. To prevent miscommunication, if you’re filing a bug report it’s usually better to open a pr with a failing test. And if it’s more a support question, it’s probably easier to continue the conversation on slack.
