Hoe is complaining about the README.markdown file

I have released a gem on github.
http://github.com/neerajdotname/javascript_lab/tree/master

sudo gem install neerajdotname-javascript_lab
$> javascript_lab

This gem works. However hoe failed somewhere in README.markdown.

This is the error I get.

rake check_manifest
(in /Users/nkumar/dev/working/javascript_lab)
** README.markdown is missing or in the wrong format for auto-intuiting.
run sow blah and look at its text files
rm -r doc
rm -r pkg
exclude entry missing from .hoerc. Aborting.

README.markdown is there. So it must auto-intuiting thing. I did ‘sow
README.markdown’ but could not understand the output very well.

Any thoughts on how to fix my README.

Basically you are missing the URL from your readme.

I’ve forked your repository, fixed the README and improved your
Rakefile:

http://github.com/tenderlove/javascript_lab/commit/4fc35caa77d65cf68b835c8214e8cc0c8f85ffb4

Your Rakefile is now shorter, and you no longer have to repeat the
summary, description, and urls!

Hope that helps!

Hi Aaron,

I have sent a reply to you on your github account.

I suggest forking GitHub - jbarnette/dr-nic-magic-awesome: Magically fix your projects overnight! and
releasing an Aaron-specific version. :wink:
