[The theme docDock does not work with blogdown]

[forvis]

Hi Yihui and Team

For my use case I'm trying to create a new site with the Docdock theme:

blogdown::new_site(theme = "vjeantet/hugo-theme-docdock")

After this code:

Warning: You are recommended to ignore certain files in config.toml: set the option ignoreFiles = ["\\.Rmd$", "\\.Rmarkdown$", "_files$", "_cache$"]
Rendering content/post/2015-07-23-r-rmarkdown.Rmd
Error: Unable to find theme Directory: D:\hugo-theme-docdock

Error: Unable to find theme Directory: D:\hugo-theme-docdock

The system cannot find the path specified.
Error in shell(cmd, mustWork = TRUE, intern = intern) : 
  '"C:\Users\svcuo\AppData\Roaming\Hugo\hugo.exe" -b / -D -F -d "public" -t hugo-theme-docdock' execution failed with error code 1

You need to remove themesDir in config.toml. The theme documentation has told you to do so: https://github.com/vjeantet/hugo-theme-docdock#configure Normally blogdown does this automatically for you, but in this case, the theme author used the lowercase themesdir so blogdown failed to detect it. I have fixed this issue on my side.

But the theme is still not compatible with the latest version of Hugo, which has been reported at https://github.com/vjeantet/hugo-theme-docdock/issues/166. I was able to reproduce the problem:

$ git clone https://github.com/vjeantet/hugo-theme-docdock.git
Cloning into 'hugo-theme-docdock'...

$ cd hugo-theme-docdock/exampleSite/

$ hugo
