Error on building the project: taxonomy_list.html required

[P1R]

Hello, I was trying to build the project but I got into an issue that could not solve which is finding a required file called taxonomy_list.html. (My guess the file was excluded from the repository)

zola build
Building site...
Checking all internal links with anchors.
> Successfully checked 0 internal link(s) with anchors.
-> Creating 5 pages (0 orphan) and 3 sections
Error: Failed to build the site
Error: Failed to render a list of tags page.
Error: Reason: Tried to render `taxonomy_list.html` but the template wasn't found

Hey, could you provide me with your config.toml and maybe your repository? I only implemented a bare minimum and may have forgotten to implement this as I never ran into this error.

Hello, Please notice that I was following your documentation and also copy sections from the config.toml example, after I was uncomenting is section to also understand the template and fixing the errors until I got into the one I could not solve.

here is the toml file data:

# The URL the site will be built for
base_url = "https://decentralizedscience.org"

# Whether to automatically compile all Sass files in the sass directory
compile_sass = true

# Whether to build a search index to be used later on by a JavaScript library
build_search_index = false

taxonomies = [
    { name = "tags", feed = true }
]

[markdown]
# Whether to do syntax highlighting
# Theme can be customised by setting the `highlight_theme` variable to a theme supported by Zola
highlight_code = true

# Papermod Theme

[extra.papermod]
title = "PaperMod"

Thanks for your config. However, I can't seem to reproduce this exact issue you have. Invoking the following commands leads to a successful build:

$ git clone git@github.com:cydave/zola-theme-papermod.git && cd zola-theme-papermod && zola build

I'm not sure if you run into this issue due to a version difference perhaps? I'm building with zola version 0.17.2.

I've removed the non-existent reference to the taxonomy_list.html template. Could you try cloning and building again?

Issue solved, thank you! :+1:
