Error: Error building site: TOCSS: failed to transform "main.scss"

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST?: bug

What happened:

$ cd themes/syna/exampleSite
$ hugo --ignoreCache
Building sites … WARN 2020/07/09 16:58:09 .File.Dir on zero object. Wrap it in if or with: {{ with .File }}{{ .Dir }}{{ end }}

Error: Error building site: TOCSS: failed to transform "main.scss" (text/x-scss): resource "scss/styles/index.scss_a4e369375f17bb89f2019364cbe7a830" not found in file cache

If you remove --ignoreCache then it works.

What you expected to happen:

I expected the website to regenerate the cache.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

See above.

Are you using Hugo extended version? We build SASS files and do other build processes that are only possible in Hugo extended version. We build files with every change to our assets to make sure users without extended version of Hugo can still build their websites but that requires you to not use --ignoreCache.

If you're already using extended version, please let me know how to reproduce the issue. I am able to build the project without any issues.

Solved it for me,

thanks a lot.

I verified that downloading Hugo extended fixed this issue. I haven't heard of the extended version until now.

Happy to hear it works. Extended version has Sass and Postcss and stuff like that allowing to unify most of the build process. Nothing special really.
