Hi gophers, I want your help…

I am blogging with hugo(https://ulgoon.github.io/).

I was trying to make another hugo project.

And, I built another project with hugo new site ~~

Then, I came back to blog project directory and run server with hugo server

with these errors…

ERROR: 2016/10/20 01:50:15 template.go:132: template: "theme/partials/head.html" is an incomplete or empty template; defined templates are: "_internal/disqus.html", "theme/partials/bloc/content/link-title.html", "theme/post/summary.boot.html", "theme/partials/bloc/content/h1-title.html", "_internal/opengraph.html", "theme/partials/modules/site/link/social/bitbucket.html",
...

almost every files are related with this error.

Is there anything I can do?

Can you show us the contents of partials/head.html please? I’m guessing there is a curly missing or an unnecessary additional curly brace somewhere…

Sure, thanks!

Not only partials/head.html, almost every layout files are with this error.
I use hyde-y theme…

I get the same error. But the strange thing is that the error is not on the Windows system. Just on the server running linux.

I cloned the source of @ulgoon’s website and started the built-in server - no errors occurred. I’m using Linux with Hugo v0.17.

Could you post the output of the hugo version command?

It was v0.18. Now I installed v0.17 and everything works fine. Thanks.

I use this version with MacOS Sierra v10.12.1

After deleting every hugo project even with hugo, it works fine.

but, I still don’t know why… ;;

I just had a similar error. ERROR: 2016/12/22 10:52:22 general.go:236: theme/partials/header-text-center.html is an incomplete or empty template

The offending line in my partial was <h1>{{ $.Params.header_text | safeHTML }}</h1>

The front matter for the page i’m working on doesn’t have any HTML in the header_text If I remove the safeHTML function from that line it works, but I do use safeHTML in this template and pass in HTML from front matter

I also realized there is this error. However, I use markdownify in a partial. It worked great and without errors on 0.16. The errors started to occur with 0.17. 0.18 also throws these.

This is my partial:

{{ .Site.Author.name | markdownify }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Author.sub | markdownify }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Author.company | markdownify }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Author.street }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Author.zip }} {{ .Site.Author.city }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Params.config.phoneicon | markdownify }} {{ .Site.Author.phone }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Params.config.faxicon | markdownify }} {{ .Site.Author.fax }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Params.config.emailicon | markdownify }} {{ .Site.Author.email | markdownify }}

It makes no difference whether I use markdownify or safeHTML with respect to the error, ie the following gives the same error:

{{ .Site.Author.name | safeHTML }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Author.sub | safeHTML }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Author.company | safeHTML }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Author.street }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Author.zip }} {{ .Site.Author.city }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Params.config.phoneicon | safeHTML }} {{ .Site.Author.phone }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Params.config.faxicon | safeHTML }} {{ .Site.Author.fax }}<br/>
{{ .Site.Params.config.emailicon | safeHTML }} {{ .Site.Author.email | safeHTML }}

I am on Windows and using hugo as 64bit:

Hugo Static Site Generator v0.18 BuildDate: 2016-12-29T20:13:13+01:00
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.17 BuildDate: 2016-11-07T12:48:49+01:00
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.16 BuildDate: 2016-08-11T14:40:57+02:00

Hence, I suspect something has changed starting with version 0.17.
