Infinite loop when using steps

[wesbos]

Steps don't seem to work for me, and I noticed the terminal just runs this across every 1-2 seconds:

success createPages - 0.006s
success Checking for changed pages - 0.002s
success update schema - 0.017s
success onPreExtractQueries - 0.002s
success extract queries from components - 0.015s
success write out requires - 0.002s

success building schema - 0.250s
info Total nodes: 2218, SitePage nodes: 2 (use --verbose for breakdown)

This is with the following code:

# Hello

---

## This is my deck

---

# Let's try steps

<Steps>
- One
- Two
- Three
- Four
</Steps>

I am seeing something similar as well, having just done a fresh install of v4.1.1.

However, no steps are involved; just the example from getting started.

# Hello

---

## This is my deck

---

## The End

yarn start does build and launch the local server, then the loop begins:

info Total nodes: 166, SitePage nodes: 2 (use --verbose for breakdown)
success createPages - 0.007s
success Checking for changed pages - 0.001s
success update schema - 0.016s
success onPreExtractQueries - 0.002s
success extract queries from components - 0.022s
success write out requires - 0.001s

success building schema - 0.125s
info Total nodes: 166, SitePage nodes: 2 (use --verbose for breakdown)

success building schema - 0.100s
info Total nodes: 166, SitePage nodes: 2 (use --verbose for breakdown)

Additionally

• v4.1.0 yielded a different error ❌
• v4.0.0 runs successfully (at least getting started) ✅

[michaelyuen]

Looks similar to what is reported here: #752

[wesbos]

it does! I tried reverting to 4.0.0 but it persists..

[michaelyuen]

(using 4.0.0)
I'm brand new to MDX, but when I change your example from:

# Hello

---

## This is my deck

---

# Let's try steps

<Steps>
- One
- Two
- Three
- Four
</Steps>

to

# Hello

---

## This is my deck

---

# Let's try steps

<Steps>

- One
- Two
- Three
- Four

</Steps>

Note the line breaks added between the jsx and the markdown. Again, new to me but I read it in the README.

[wesbos]

Ohh nice hack of reading the docs :D I will try that! Thank you

[wesbos]

That fixed it, Will close this as there is an issue already for the looping
