Vex-hugo theme changes not reflecting in local dev env? #16

Closed FickleLife closed 4 years ago

FickleLife commented 4 years ago

I have built a site off vex, made some changes (e.g. changed font of theme to Helvetica) and deployed to netlify and all looks good.

When I try to launch my forked local repository with hugo server I get Error: module "vex-hugo" not found; either add it as a Hugo Module or store it in "/xxxx/project/exampleSite/themes".: module does not exist.

I have cloned vex-hugo into /xxxx/ and then it launches with hugo server --themesDir ../.. but it's using the theme in the /xxxx/vex-hugo folder, not the theme in /xxxx/project so it's not taking the styling. However netlify is fine.

I'm new to hugo, any clues what's going on? Thanks

cd exampleSite/
