I'm getting this as well.

mcusuperuser · 2021-01-01T22:20:42Z

I have the same problem. This is quite a hurdle to get it running.

darkwizard242 · 2021-01-01T22:51:16Z

Think this may have to do with logos and/or author images.. instead of /static/images , can you try moving them to /assets/images?

Essentially moving site images to: <my-project>/assets/images/site/ ... However, the reference may remain the same as an example:

logo: # Currently moved to assets/images/site
    main: /images/site/main-logo-scroll.png
    inverted: /images/site/main-logo-constant.png
    favicon: /images/site/main-logo-favicon.png

Above was simply an example of the logos rendering.. However, that applies to the author/background images too, along with others parts of the site such as sections.

For posts, image of the post will need to be within the folder of a specific post named as hero.{svg,png,jpg}

nathanhiemstra · 2021-01-02T01:38:04Z

@darkwizard242 that worked, thank you!!

Is <my-project>/assets/images/site/ the proper place for global images? Or is there a path setting that's incorrect?

darkwizard242 · 2021-01-02T02:00:33Z

@nathanhiemstra - Glad that worked out for you.

Ah apologies, if what I said led to confusion. /assets/images/site/ by itself, I don't believe is the global dir for images; but /assets/images/ is likely for all images except those for posts.

Examples:
/assets/images/site --> for site logos
/assets/images/author --> for author profile picture
/assets/images/sections/skills --> for skills images.
/assets/images/site/sections/achievements --> for achievement images.
.
.
.
etc.

References for those images in their specific yaml configuration files doesn't need to include assets in the path.

Nevertheless, @hossainemruz is the best person to confirm.

hossainemruz · 2021-01-02T02:28:55Z

Yes. Now all images should go into /assets/images instead of /static/assets/images or /static/images. This is due to this PR: #173

Hugo image processing does not work for the images under /static folder.

MAXIAO01 · 2021-01-02T17:19:43Z

Sorry but I am still confused about this problem. How can it be fixed now? I mean after the 4 steps to reproduce this problem, which part/file should I modify and how? Could somebody maybe give a direct clue? Thank you so much!!!!! (I am very new to this)

nathanhiemstra · 2021-01-02T17:25:28Z

To solve it I created a assets/images/site folders in the root directory and moved the images there.

MAXIAO01 · 2021-01-02T17:38:00Z

To solve it I created a assets/images/site folders in the root directory and moved the images there.

It works! Thanks a lot!!!

kcisneros · 2021-01-03T00:55:39Z

I'm having the same error. I moved over the assets under "themes, toha, assets, images" to a top level dir "assets/images/site". Please advise

Error: Error building site: failed to render pages: render of "home" failed: execute of template failed: template: index.html:35:8: executing "index.html" at <partial "navigators/navbar.html" .>: error calling partial:

darkwizard242 · 2021-01-03T04:01:18Z

@kcisneros could you share the complete error? It should have something further after error calling partial: which will log certain line/column numbers that can help debugging the issue you are facing. Though it seems to be relatively the same issue.

Additionally, If you copied the site logos from themes/toha/assets/images to your site/project's assets/images/site directory - did you also update the file names in your config.yaml to match the files that were copied over?

kcisneros · 2021-01-03T14:27:04Z

hi @darkwizard242 Here's my complete error so far.

MacBook-Pro:site user$ hugo server -t toha -w

The config.yaml (initially .toml) did not have content, so I added in the logos under the site params to the following path, if that's wrong I can update it but I believe the path is right..

  logo:
    main: /assets/images/site/main-logo.png
    inverted: /assets/images/site/inverted-logo.png
    favicon: /assets/images/site/favicon.png

hossainemruz · 2021-01-03T14:32:45Z

@kcisneros use,

  logo:
    main: /images/site/main-logo.png
    inverted: /images/site/inverted-logo.png
    favicon: /images/site/favicon.png

kcisneros · 2021-01-03T14:40:37Z

@hossainemruz Thank you for the response. I updated the paths accordingly and am still getting an error when trying to run hugo server -t toha -w

Can you try updating to the latest master? I have pushed some fixes there. Also, please point me to your repository so that I can inspect where the problem is.

kcisneros · 2021-01-03T15:19:50Z

@hossainemruz thank you for taking a look, here's my repo: https://github.com/kcisneros/kcisneros-site I believe I am on latest, I tried a fresh install and set up about two hours ago. Is there a way I can check the hash version locally to ensure I have what's on master?

What hugo version are you using?

kcisneros · 2021-01-03T16:44:03Z

Thank you for the confirmation, I was hoping it wasn't something with my machine, sadly it looks like it may be that.

hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.80.0/extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate: unknown

I updated to Big Sur two days ago, I wonder if there's an incompatibility there.

hossainemruz · 2021-01-03T16:48:37Z

I can confirm it also built in hugo v0.80.0.

Ok, thank you for confirming. I'll try and narrow down further.

@serverfriendsorg can you point me to your repository? I believe there are some misconfigurations there.

@serverfriendsorg How I can give you permission to merge the MR. I don't see any settings for that. I am not experienced with gitlab.
