Error building site: failed to render pages: render of "home" failed

sbuvaneshkumar commented 5 years ago

After adding theme, I am getting following error. I have tried with brand new site, without any content, facing the same issue.

➜  quickstart git:(master) ✗ hugo server -D

I am getting the same error. @sbuvaneshkumar did you find a solution or workaround for this?

sbuvaneshkumar commented 4 years ago

@connor11528 Unfortunately no, still I don't find any workaround or solution.

pferretti commented 4 years ago

Hi @sbuvaneshkumar @connor11528 I think that you must specify at least a main menu entry in config.toml. For example:

[[menu.main]] name = "about" identifier = "about" weight = 200 url = "/about/"

connor11528 commented 4 years ago

Okay thank you @pferretti

I added this and am getting an error on the command line. For all my files in content/posts/ directory I have the date saved like: date: "2017-11-26" any ideas what more I need to improve?

[SOLVED] Hugo –minify: failed to render pages

Ayush23Dash commented 3 years ago

Hi, I am still unable to get solution of this. Can anyone please help me out??

mubashirjamali101 commented 3 years ago

Yeah me too, above solutions didn't work.

austinschrader commented 3 years ago

@Ayush23Dash @mubashirjamali101 I had this exact issue and it was in the config.toml.

In the theme 'Blonde', there's an exampleSite. I started copying and pasting the exampleSite files into mine, and finally when I got to config.toml the hugo server started running.

Try and find an exampleSite folder in your theme, or download one that does.

Philip-Valentino commented 2 years ago

I had the same issue, here is how I solved it:

Step 1: Open config.yaml in your website project in RStudio

Step 2:

Go to the last line in that script in RStudio and type in this (see below) and save it:

security: funcs: getenv:

^HUGO_
^WC_

don't know why but it really works!

krischik commented 6 months ago

I have the same problem with an existing site which worked before. Very frustrating. Will there ever be a proper fix?

kaapiandcode commented 5 months ago

@krischik Can you create a new issue detailing the problem you're facing with steps to reproduce or code / repo that I can use to investigate your problem?
