[BUG] - Error: error building site: render: failed to render pages

1buran commented 5 months ago

Describe the bug

I've upgraded hermit-V2 theme in my blog from v1.0.5 to the latest - v1.1.4 and the build had failure (detailed output in Terminal Output section), as my understanding the problem is here:

https://github.com/1bl4z3r/hermit-V2/blob/main/layouts/_default/baseof.html#L19

{{ $c_css := resources.Get . | resources.ExecuteAsTemplate "css/style.css" $rootCtx | toCSS | minify | fingerprint -}}

I'm surprised because as I see empty css/style.css exists in theme, maybe this is misconfiguration of hugo (my fault) or blog configuration conflict to theme, but all works find before (on v.1.0.5).

Could you please check it?

hermit changes

To Reproduce Have no idea, it seems the fastest way to reproduce the bug its just clone the blog and run hugo build:

Clone https://github.com/1buran/blog (it is not large - 1 post and little bit of css)
Run hugo build

Expected behavior Missed css/style.css should not be cause build failure.

Hugo (please complete the following information):

Hugo: v0.123.7+extended
Extended? yes (Im not sure what does this mean, answered based on hugo version suffix)
Latest hermit-V2 theme package? yes

Additional context Archlinux

Hi @1buran,

That indeed is strange. To give some context so that we are on same page

I'm surprised because as I see empty css/style.css exists in theme

style.css is referring to single stylesheet that is used by hermit. It adds all styles from different sass into one

Im not sure what does this mean, answered based on hugo version suffix

This is for Windows users specifically. As you are Linux user, nothing to do here

TL;DR, I have to check this. Expect a response within 24 hrs

P.S. Thanks for linking source

Hi @1buran,

It looks like the error you had provided can't be recreated on my end. It seems like something in hugo.toml is changed which totally breaks the generation.

Hi @1buran again

Found the bug. You had put about.css in static directory.

According to the Readme, you should've put the custom css file in assets so that Hugo can fetch them.

Moving the relevant css file to assets fixed the issue. Also find updated file structure. Note that I have moved about.css from static/css to assets/about-css

./assets/about-css/about.css

blog$ find . -type f -name "*.*"|grep -v 'themes\|.git\|public\|resources'

./archetypes/default.md

Hey @1bl4z3r! Nice catch!

I'm totally forgot about custom css in about page:

---                              
custom_css: ["/css/about.css"]   
---

Yeah, you are right, this file should be inside the assets dir, it seems I placed it there (to static/css) when i tried to enabled it and placement inside assets didn't cause any effect (in old version of hugo or hermet theme).

Thanks for all your help!

P.S. Movement about.css to assets dirs solved this puzzle, thanks!
