Failed to render "theme/index.html"

Hugo 0.30.2

The error looks theme related. I have no clue what could be the problem - any idea?

I think I implemented all "breaking changes" from v2.0.0.

Did you add the theme parameters to your [params] section in config.toml?

[params]
  # Color theme.
  #   Choose from `default`, `ocean`, `forest`, or `coffee`.
  color_theme = "default"

  # Font style.
  #   Choose from `default`, `classic`, or `playfair`.
  font = "default"

[pat-s]

Yes I added them.

Here is my config.toml. Thanks for your time 👍

Thanks for the config, I reproduced the error. The issue is that [outputs] must be added:

# Default language to use (if you setup multilingual support)
defaultContentLanguage = "en"
defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = false

[outputs]
  home = [ "HTML", "CSS" ]

[blackfriday]
  hrefTargetBlank = true  # `true` opens external links in a new tab.
  fractions = true  # `false` disables smart fractions (e.g. 5/12 formatted as a fraction).
  smartypants = true  # `false` disables all smart punctuation substitutions (e.g. smart quotes, dashes, fractions).

I'll update the Release Notes if it's missing this information :)

@gcushen thanks!

I added it; however the error persists for me 🤔 Anything else that I am missing in my config?

[gcushen]

@pat-s I tested your config with [outputs] added and it appears to work fine with the exampleSite content. Therefore, it is likely that your content files are missing some of the new content parameters. Reading the Release Notes and comparing the parameters in the exampleSite content with the parameters in your content frontmatter may help. Also, the error message should not be exactly the same if you updated the config file, so it may help if you can post the new error message...

Thanks for taking the time 👍

I did some debugging and error seems to be caused by themes/academic/layouts/index.html.

If I remove this file from the submodule, the error goes away and the site builds without error. However, my site main page looks unstructured then as index.html is not build properly 🤔

Maybe you have some time to clone my repo and see for yourself :)

It works again but I do not know what the important piece was - I changed a lot (including all headers from YAML to TOML) and other stuff - thanks for your patience :+1:
