When I set up this template according to the readme it doesn't render

[RMHogervorst]

Hi @DaveParr When I set this website up, locally or on netlify it doesn't seem to work. Is there a setting I haven't toggled? https://github.com/satRdays/amsterdam2019

[DaveParr]

Hi @RMHogervorst , sorry you're having trouble. I'm able to clone the repo you link, and on the master branch execute hugo serve in my bash terminal and then go to local host and see this:

(I changed the first line to a hello world to check the build wasn't caching from a pervious run)

What exactly have you done and what is the specific error you are seeing? You will need hugo installed to run it: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/

[RMHogervorst]

let me try again, I didn't use hugo serve I think, I just used hugo

[RMHogervorst]

What i see is a completely empty page, looking at the source I see only this

<pre>
</pre>

[RMHogervorst]

and my terminal tells me:

and

I'm using hugo v0.54.0-B1A82C61 linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2019-02-01T09:40:34Z

[DaveParr]

EDIT: I think i've recreated your error, give me a sec, the below might not apply.

So that suggests to me that your hugo install is not able to find the assets to generate the site. That's what the warn is saying: "I can't find the layouts or the home page".

What is the location your calling the command in? It should be in the root of the project you're trying to generate, so for me it's ~ /Documents/satRdays/amsterdam2019 which contains my file .

In other words, your hugo command does run (hugo serve is related, but different, as it also generates the html for you, not just put the page up in a web browser), but it runs and then sees effectively no content, so gives you the most minimal output possible.

[DaveParr]

OK, actual fix to error message: https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/found-no-layout-for-taxonomyterm-language-en-output-format-html/16376

Seems an update around December leads to this message. Still doesn't explain the lack of output on your side, but does explain the message. The fix is a quick config line, I'll add it to the core theme in a bit.

Hugo version: Hugo Static Site Generator v0.54.0/extended darwin/amd64

[DaveParr]

OK, I have corrected the WARN messages on my side that mirrored yours, which I believe were created from 'recent' (last 8 months) updates to the hugo framework. All the way through though my site was actually generating, the WARN messages seem to be exceptions, so I'm not really sure why yours isn't being rendered. I was working from this commit of your repo the whole time. I was also using this version of the theme submodule. Let's see if we can use hugo serve to sort it out. Can you please confirm the following to see if we can sort out your website generation core issue?

1. where you run the hugo serve command from?
2. what the full output of the hugo server command is?
3. what you see when you go to the locally hosted link in the output?
4. if you are using the same main repo commit and sub-module commit as me?
5. if your submodule is actually containing your work from the PR you sent for the tweet this button?

I did a fresh install on a new computer

Using hugo 0.58

• git clone from amsterdam2019 repo
• [1] ran hugo serve from '/Users/roelhogervorst/Documents/projecten/amsterdam2019/'

- [4] I don't actually know what version of the submodule I am using. How do I find that out? I did not change it anyway

[RMHogervorst]

[4] git submodule status:

-90e7bf048bceb82be56304b5ec7030822ffa9547 themes/hugo-agency-theme
-6b6ec0eea4444dea29f03ce3fc2b6c06d056373f themes/hugo-satrdays-theme

(so yes, it is the same commit in the submodule)

[5] I don't think so, given that I use the same commit

[RMHogervorst]

I found out the problem!

I didn't update the submodules

git submodule update --init

[DaveParr]

So is it building now and if you go to the URL in your messages 'localhost1313' do you see the website?

[RMHogervorst]

yes than the website just works

[RMHogervorst]

I think git submodule update is enough

[RMHogervorst]

of course the website on https://eloquent-aryabhata-b2ad74.netlify.com/ is ugly as hell because the base url is not mismatched it's looking for resources at amsterdam2019.satrdays.org

[DaveParr]

So to close this off @RMHogervorst , could you submit a (tiny) PR update to the readme.md to outline the step that I've missed that fixed your issue? I'm guessing it's either going to be a new step 5 in administrator tasks, or a new step 1 in organiser tasks.

Once we've done that, I can close this off, and help out future me :)

[RMHogervorst]

on it!
