Theme: Unable to Build - Permission Errors

[vincentmaule]

Hello, I am attempting to build a site. I have followed the steps & receive the error below:

[User@Machine:~/Folder]$ cat hugo.toml 
baseURL = 'https://site'
languageCode = 'en-us'
title = ''
theme = "hugo-theme-relearn"

[outputs]
  home = ['html', 'rss', 'search', 'searchpage']

[module]
[[module.imports]]
    path = 'github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn'

[params]
  description = ''
  disableNextPrev = true

[[params.themeVariant]]
    auto = ['zen-light', 'zen-dark']
    identifier = 'zen-auto'
    name = 'Zen Light/Dark'

[User@Machine:~/Folder]$ hugo --noChmod
Start building sites … 
hugo v0.120.3+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown VendorInfo=nixpkgs

ERROR Failed to publish Resource: open /public/css/theme-relearn-light.css: permission denied

Error: error building site: logged 2 error(s)

I did try a few ideas from this issue but no luck.

Added new line between both commands ran.

i did try a few ideas from this https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn/issues/734 but no luck.

As --noChmod doesn't seem to work, did you also try to configure themeVariantModifier in your hugo.toml?

What's your host environment?

What's your host environment?

1. Did I configure the themeVariantModifier incorrectly in my hugo.toml file?
2. Currently running NixOS, attempting to build for Prod.

Without seeing your source code, it's impossible to say. At least your example above doesn't have it.

2. Currently running NixOS, attempting to build for Prod.

Is this your own server?

I'm new when it comes to the Hugo Config file, is the themeVariantModifier [params] placed in the wrong place at the end of my hugo.toml file?

Excerpt from first message:

...
[module]
[[module.imports]]
    path = 'github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn'

[params]
  description = ''
  disableNextPrev = true

[[params.themeVariant]]
    auto = ['zen-light', 'zen-dark']
    identifier = 'zen-auto'
    name = 'Zen Light/Dark'

[User@Machine:~/Folder]$ hugo --noChmod
Start building sites … 
....

I followed Relearn Configuration & didn't see if was supposed to go after or before [module]/[outputs]; please share an example if there is a specific structure?

2. Currently running NixOS, attempting to build for Prod.

Is this your own server?

Yes, I will attempt to build on a different device after business hours.

Please search for themeVariantModifier in the docs. Two occurences on the same page - the second including explaination.

Thank you for you patience! Same issue unfortunately with suffix added.

Is there a cache that Hugo uses when building?

[McShelby]

The themeVariantModifier must go into the [params] section.

Working now... Thank you again very much for the patience here.

This is a closed issue (which is fine) but I posted a note on the discussion above since I haven't been able to find a solution other than staying on Hugo v 0.122.0.
