Error building site

ehrlichja opened this issue · 2 comments

This is the same as issue #7 , here are the steps I followed (taken verbatim from the Readme):
$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.54.0/extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate: unknown
$ hugo new site mynewsite
Congratulations! Your new Hugo site is created in ...
$ cd mynewsite
$ cd themes
git clone https://github.com/jugglerx/hugo-hero-theme.git

config.toml reads:

baseURL = "/"
themesDir = "themes"
theme = "hugo-hero-theme"

$ hugo

Error: Error building site: failed to render pages: render of "home" failed: "/Users/andrewehrlich/andrew/Companies/regulus/engineering/website/mynewsite/themes/hugo-hero-theme/layouts/index.html:23:30": execute of template failed: template: index.html:23:30: executing "main" at <$headless.Resources....>: can't evaluate field Resources in type *hugolib.Page

Hi,

I just installed a fresh copy on my local and it worked.

After you do git clone https://github.com/jugglerx/hugo-hero-theme.git you need to copy the contents of the exampleSite folder from /mynewsite/themes/hugo-hero-theme/exampleSite/ to the project root /mynewsite/

You then edit the /mynewsite/config.toml

Then make sure you run hugo from the root directory, ie run it from /mynewsite/

I'd say you have either not copied the exampleSite content correctly, or you are running hugo from the wrong folder.

Thank you, it took a few more tries for me to get it. Appreciated.
