jekyll: [jekyll 3.2.0]static_file.rb 149 `utime': No such file or directory

I believe this to be a bug, not a question about using Jekyll.
I Updated to the latest Jekyll (or) if on Github Pages to the latest github-pages
I Read the CONTRIBUTION file at https://jekyllrb.com/docs/contributing/
This is a feature request.

I am on (or have tested on) _macOS_ 10+

There is a broken Plugin API.
I had an error on Github Pages, and I have not tested locally.
I had an error on Github Pages, and Github Support said it was a Jekyll Bug.

@parkr Yes, and on top of that touching the symlink will update it’s times as well. Should I ship a pull?

As @Crunch09 pointed out in #5334, this problem is caused by #4640.

More specifically, it’s caused by a changed handling of symlinks in non-production JEKYLL_ENV environments (namely keeping them now as symlinks in the generated _site instead of copying the target file as before), and the fact that Heroku seems to add some(?) symlinks to the site (in bin) that break when copied to the _site dir.

Besides by excluding the bin dir (see above), the problem can also be solved by setting JEKYLL_ENV to production for the build (see #5334):

JEKYLL_ENV=production jekyll build

In production, symlinks are “converted” to proper files (as also in development before), and broken symlinks will not occur.
