customCSS no longer works

[jdoklovic]

using a customCSS that lives in /static/css no longer works. The issue is that the minifier is looking for the file in the /themes/... folder and not the project static folder:

Error while rendering "home" in "": template: index.html:1:3: executing "index.html" at <partial "head" .>: 

error calling partial: template: partials/head.html:10:5: executing "partials/head.html" at <partial "base/import...>: 

error calling partial: template: partials/base/imports.html:55:44: executing "partials/base/imports.html" at <resources.Get>: 

error calling Get: stat /home/data/<myproject>/themes/hugo-bootstrap-premium/assets/css/mycustom.css: no such file or directory

The offending code is:

{{ range .Site.Params.customCSS }}
    {{ $.Scratch.Add "css" (slice (resources.Get .)) }}
{{ end }}

We want minified CSS, but it would be great also to be able to use custom CSS.

The best solution would be to have assets in the static folder like this /static/css, /static/js, etc. Then change the assetDir by configuring it in the configuration file’s assetDir key to /public/.

I don't know if this is possible but it's worth a try.

Ref: https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/introduction/

Asset directory Asset files must be stored in the asset directory. This is /assets by default, but can be configured via the configuration file’s assetDir key.

I could not get this solution to work. Is there an fix for this problem? Maybe I can minify my custom css somehow?

Edit: I found out that I can just put my custom CSS file in /assets/css/style_custom.css, this works fine for me.

Great!

I have to find a good solution for this. All PR is now merged at least.
