With jekyll-2.5.3 I'm able to run "jekyll serve --watch" to generate my site and preview it. However, since upgrading to jekyll-3.0.0.pre.beta1 I now see the following error

jekyll serve --watch
Configuration file: /wrk/git/blog/_config.yml

jekyll 3.0.0-beta1 | Error:  Is a directory @ rb_sysopen - /wrk/git/blog/_site/tech/2013/04/24/blog

I've checked and I have read/write/execute permissions, so I don't think it's a permission error. If it helps, here's my source and layout (https://github.com/minhongrails/blog), which has directories like _includes, _layouts, _posts, index.html, etc in the root directory.

Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks!

Build Warning: Layout 'nil' requested in atom.xml does not exist.
 Build Warning: Layout 'nil' requested in rss.xml does not exist.

I think the layout should be null, not nill.

For some reason I needed to move my source files into a "source" subdirectory as specified in the _config.yml. Here's some of the _config.yml that I had to modify

source: src

# needed to also update this b/c it was generating inside the "source" dir
destination: _site

In Jekyll 2 I didn't need to do this but I guess it's now necessary in Jekyll 3? Here's a Github issue with more details: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/3248
