Error message when running blogdown:::serve_site()

[Salfo]

Dear, I am getting an error message when running blogdown:::serve_site(). I was able to create my website and deploy it. But, after I tried to create a new post, blogdown:::serve_site() produces an error message. Not knowing what is going on, I removed the new post I created, and the error persists. After reading this thread here https://github.com/gcushen/hugo-academic/issues/145, I tried to update the theme as suggested, and I get the message "Already up-to-date." below is the complete error message. Any help? Also, would it be a good solution to delete the web project locally, and start a new project? I am asking this question because I have already deployed the current project (deployed in Netlify) and I am not sure if deleting it locally would be a problem. I followed the "A Recommended workflow" from https://bookdown.org/yihui/blogdown/workflow.html to create and deploy my website. Thank you for your time.

The issue that you have reported is concerning the Project widget. It would appear from the error message that one or more of your files in project/ folder are missing tags = [] in their frontmatter. The above issue will likely be resolved after adding the missing parameter to all your project files.

[Salfo]

coming-soon.txt I have one file in project/ and I don't think it is missing the tags = []. Attached is the sole file in project/, if that can help. Also, will that be simpler to just delete the project and start over, i.e create a new project of the same name as the initial one. I worry about doing that because I have already deploy my website, and I am not sure if I can just start over. Again, everything was working, and I am not sure what went wrong. Kind Regards,

.

[gcushen]

That project page works fine, assuming your actual file is named coming-soon.md rather than coming-soon.txt. If there is still an issue, you will be more likely to get a helpful response if you can link to a Github repository containing your website. Also, Hugo discussion forum may be able to help.

Thank you very much. My problem is now solved. I had coming-soon.html in my project/ folder. When I deleted it, blogdown:::serve_site() runs perfectly. So, you were right when you said the problem was in the project/ folder. I just had to remove the .html file. Kind Regards,

Hi, @Salfo @gcushen, I have a similar error and it had troubled me for weeks. I posted it in Rstudio community but it has not solved yet: https://community.rstudio.com/t/blogdown-serve-site-hugo-execution-failed-with-error-code-1/45750/24.

My pc information:

devtools::session_info() Session info --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- setting value version R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05) os Windows 10 x64 system x86_64, mingw32 ui RStudio

As you can see below, it seems that the public\authors\ folder has some problems, I tried diabling the author link as discussed here:https://github.com/gcushen/hugo-academic/issues/982. but the issue persists.

I also checked the hugo.exe is in the system path.

All the files were uploaded to https://github.com/hcp4715/blogdown_trial, in case you need to reproduce the problem.

Many thanks.

Hi gcushen, I had this issue a while ago. At that time the solution was to remove the .html files in my project/ folder. Have you done that?

[sagitaninta]

I experience the same problem with @hcp4715 and removing .html won't work because I do not have any additional .html files other than the default. It happens right after updating academic theme through git. I do not understand which path should be fixed according to the error message.

[hcp4715]

Didn't expect I would encounter this error again, but I do.

After updated my R to 4.0.2, I also updated blogdown and hugo, and then, I had almost the same issue now.

Has anyone been able to solve the problem?
