Jekyll collection files not generated from md although collection iterates on parent page?

Question

I'm not sure what I've done. I've added some new pages from my collections folders.

The folders and files are created in the site folder.

However I can iterate my collections and see the links, however the links provide 404 errors as the files aren't being created.

I've re-saved the files as utf8 but this didn't hel, mentioned in a related question.

I've even removed all the files and put back the original test files which did work previously.

Foolishly I didn't have the project under source control.

Obviously jekyll can see them and read their contents and the loops work...

But the files aren't being generated.

<h3>User Guides</h3>
{% for user in site.stt_userguides %}
{::nomarkdown}
    <a href="{{ user.url }}">
        <h3>{{ user.title }}</h3>
    </a>
    <p>{{ user.content | markdownify }}</p>
{:/}
{% endfor %}

<h3>Features</h3>
{% for user in site.stt_features %}
{::nomarkdown}
    <a href="{{ user.url }}">
        <h3>{{ user.title }}</h3>
    </a>
    <p>{{ user.content | markdownify }}</p>
{:/}
{% endfor %}

I'm using this command ...

bundle exec jekyll serve

It confirms the files aren't found.

Due to initial configuration issues implementing collections, I had inadvertently removed the output: true setting, also useful to add the permalink property under your collection in config.yml.

As shown in the collections section on this page https://jekyllrb.com/docs/permalinks/
