New blogdown posts showing on R-Studio, not rendering on Netlify? How to debug?

Question

I've added a couple of blogposts to my blogdown/netlify backed site today:

https://github.com/brainstorm/brainblog/blob/master/content/brainstorm/2018-03-12-umccr-arteria.md

https://github.com/brainstorm/brainblog/blob/master/content/brainstorm/2018-03-13-umccr-pcgr.md

And while they render/preview successfully on R-Studio:

Those two blogposts do not show up on Netlify-hosted site after pushing/deploying (see deploy log below). *Even a manual deploy triggering (with clear cache checkbox on), fails to update the index page accordingly to show the two new posts:

From Netlify's side, this is a successful deployment, along with all previous pushes from github, as far as I can see from their web console:

On Netlify's defense, this could be a symptom of baseUrl issues not being fully solved yet, as I pointed out in an earlier question... any hints very welcome.

Answer 1

Apparently after re-triggering a deploy today, one of the posts showed up, which leads me to believe that this is a timezone difference issue.

A consequence of Australia living in the future compared with the rest of the world X"D

Answer 2

The missing posts are due to the date of your front-matter being in the future.

Note: The build will use the Netlify build server's time.

Today's date is 2018-03-12

date: '2018-03-13T16:00:00.000000+00:00'

Run the Hugo command hugo server --buildFuture to see which posts will build on later deploys.

Answer 3

Just leaving this answer here in case anyone else is as dumb as me... if you can see the post in Rstudio but not on netlifies, make sure that draft:no in your yaml.
