Bug description

ABS, search and dark mode button work only locally, but online they don't work.

How to reproduce the bug

When I run the website locally using bundle exec jekyll serve, everything works as expected: dark mode button, search bar and ABS button all function normally. In both cases, locally and deployed the website builds successfully and the Dark mode, search, and ABS buttons appear visually but do nothing when clicked.

However, after deploying the same repository, these features stop working online.
The only change I made to the original repository is adding a .gitlab-ci.yml file for the GitLab Pages build.

Here the repository: https://gitlab.com/catchingdesertfox/website

My .gitlab-ci.yml looks like this:

variables:
JEKYLL_ENV: production
BUNDLE_PATH: "vendor/bundle"
DEBIAN_FRONTEND: noninteractive

cache:
paths:
- vendor/bundle

before_script:

• gem install bundler

• bundle config set path "$BUNDLE_PATH"

• bundle install

• apt-get update

• apt-get install -y python3 python3-venv python3-pip

• python3 -m venv .venv

• . .venv/bin/activate

• pip install --upgrade pip

• pip install jupyter nbconvert

pages:
stage: deploy
script:
- . .venv/bin/activate
- bundle exec jekyll build -d public
artifacts:
paths:
- public
only:
- main

I would be more than happy for any help!

For context: I’m using GitHub Desktop purely as a Git client to commit and push to my GitLab remote (default branch is main). The repository contains a .gitlab-ci.yml; GitLab CI builds the site and GitLab Pages deploys the public/ artifact. Locally (bundle exec jekyll serve) everything works, but on GitLab Pages the Abs/search/dark-mode features fail, even though the pipeline is green and Pages serves the latest commit.

I also tested a clean copy of al-folio with no changes at all on my GitLab account and I get the exact same failure online.

I’m mentioning GitHub Desktop for completeness; I understand the client shouldn’t affect the runtime behavior. CI/CD and the built assets on Pages are what matter.
