Error building site: failed to render pages: render of "home" failed #72

sbuvaneshkumar · 2019-09-19T12:32:04Z

After adding theme, I am getting following error.
I have tried with brand new site, without any content, facing the same issue.

I am getting the same error. @sbuvaneshkumar did you find a solution or workaround for this?

sbuvaneshkumar · 2019-12-31T15:53:26Z

@connor11528 Unfortunately no, still I don't find any workaround or solution.

pferretti · 2020-01-11T15:33:50Z

Hi @sbuvaneshkumar @connor11528
I think that you must specify at least a main menu entry in config.toml. For example:

[[menu.main]]
name = "about"
identifier = "about"
weight = 200
url = "/about/"

connor11528 · 2020-01-13T02:13:26Z

Okay thank you @pferretti

I added this and am getting an error on the command line. For all my files in content/posts/ directory I have the date saved like: date: "2017-11-26" any ideas what more I need to improve?

[SOLVED] Hugo –minify: failed to render pages

Closes shenoydotme#72

Closes #72

Ayush23Dash · 2021-02-09T09:43:25Z

Hi, I am still unable to get solution of this. Can anyone please help me out??

mubashirjamali101 · 2021-04-09T19:02:04Z

Yeah me too, above solutions didn't work.

austinschrader · 2021-09-15T04:00:57Z

@Ayush23Dash @mubashirjamali101 I had this exact issue and it was in the config.toml.

In the theme 'Blonde', there's an exampleSite. I started copying and pasting the exampleSite files into mine, and finally when I got to config.toml the hugo server started running.

Try and find an exampleSite folder in your theme, or download one that does.

Philip-Valentino · 2021-12-23T00:54:34Z

I had the same issue, here is how I solved it:

Step 1:
Open config.yaml in your website project in RStudio

Step 2:

Go to the last line in that script in RStudio and type in this (see below) and save it:

security:
funcs:
getenv:
- ^HUGO_
- ^WC_

don't know why but it really works!

I have the same problem with an existing site which worked before. Very frustrating. Will there ever be a proper fix?

shenoydotme · 2024-04-11T10:52:31Z

@krischik Can you create a new issue detailing the problem you're facing with steps to reproduce or code / repo that I can use to investigate your problem?
