build error with instructions in README.md

[stuboo]

Following the steps given in README.md.

git clone --recurse-submodules --depth 1 https://github.com/google/docsy-example.git
cd docsy-example
hugo server

Alas, hugo server fails with the following error:

Error: Error building site: render of "404" failed: execute of template failed: template: 
404.html:8:9: executing "404.html" at <partial "navbar.html" .>: error calling partial: 
"/Users/jrs/Sites/docsy-example/themes/docsy/layouts/partials/navbar.html:14:31": execute of 
template failed: template: partials/navbar.html:14:31: executing "partials/navbar.html" at 
<$.IsDescendant>: error calling IsDescendant: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil
 pointer dereference

I installed hugo from tar in the /Sites/ directory and ran the following npm commands in the /docsy-example/ directory.

sudo npm install -g postcss-cli
sudo npm install -g autoprefixer

Brand new to hugo (& go), so thanks in advance for the insight.

@stuboo I followed the tutorial using the github ui, and no problem

Try that!

Thanks for the feedback, hope we can get you up and running! Can you check what version of Hugo you're running? Just do: hugo version

I can confirm the same behavior. Here are my details:

$hugo env
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.65.1/extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate: unknown
GOOS="darwin"
GOARCH="amd64"
GOVERSION="go1.13.8"

$system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType

Aha! This is a known issue in 0.65.0 and is fixed in 0.65.3. See: https://github.com/google/docsy/issues/210

[LisaFC]

If upgrading to 0.65.3 (or the workaround suggested in the issue) works for you, we can close this.

[gezerk]

WooHooooooooo!

[gezerk]

I can now confirm that a Hugo upgrade corrects the issue. Let's close this.

$brew upgrade hugo
<lines omitted>
==> Upgrading 1 outdated package:
hugo 0.65.1 -> 0.65.3

Wonderful. Thanks everyone.
