Error on heroku

I get an error on Heroku with this because it's trying to access the destination folder that isn't available on Heroku.

Have a similar problem with github pages, required duplication sitemap.xml file in a destination folder ( /_site ) and in a jekyll folder ( / )

Yup same problem here as well. Sitemap does not appear in github pages.

Solution : Applicable for jekyll blogs hosted on github.

I made the following change in sitemap_generator.rb file
file = File.new(File.join(site.dest+"/../", SITEMAP_FILE_NAME), "w") around line 126

That way it writes file to parent directory and not _site directory. Hence the sitemap is visible on your github blog.
