Anubis (Deprecated) and anubis2 both are unable to build on the latest release of hugo

Haha, I'm using hugo v0.136.5+extended darwin/arm64 BuildDate=2024-10-24T12:26:27Z VendorInfo=brew, and I didn't encounter this error.

I will investigate why version hugo v0.139.0+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown is reporting this issue.

@Junyi-99 Very strange, when switching back from Anubis to Anubis2, while the configuration hasn't changed much at all. It fails and its valid. having [menu] set, will cause the build to fail. The debugging output wasn't useful, but hopefully someone might came across this issue in the future and get it fixed. Thanks for maintaining this theme, Cheers!

Hi @M1ndo , could you share your hugo.toml or hugo.yaml configuration file? It seems the issue might be related to the user's config.

I came across a potential solution you might find helpful: https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/GuerillaStudio/now-playing/commit/4c9272b4c8c241b24912c291959430e211b47ef9

(By the way, Hugo often changes its config file format and tends to have limited backward compatibility.)

Thanks for using Anubis2 and sharing your feedback!

@Junyi-99 Sure, here's the old and the newest config.

Turns out the issue was from

[params]
author = "A"
# It should be 
[params.author]
name = "A"
# also 
[author]
name = "A" # Also worked.
