it will build the site, just not serve it for awhile, right?

is your site multi-language enabled?

i’ve seen this too, and I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the way I was manipulating variables and passing state around… I think there’s a race condition in 0.120 but idk for sure.

in MY case, I stopped hitting it every few minutes when I didn’t attempt to alter a variable in multiple partials, but instead passed a dict with the state ( ‘.’ ) but idk if that’s the cause;

is your code available someplace for review?

No. The site is not built.

is your site multi-language enabled?

Yes. However, now that you have mentioned it, I have tested it with one language, and now it seems working.

I was not changing anything. Even just copying the site from repo and then running the command produces the error for me. Even the site I built with Congo one year ago produced the same error.

If required, I can host it on github

Interesting, I haven't seen this error before. If you are able to put your project into a repo I can take a look and see if I can work out what the issue is.

I got a similar error, the problem was that my index page had draft = true. Changed it to draft = false and building worked.

@sardarms, is this your issue too?

I wonder if there's a way to catch this error, but I suspect if you're asking Hugo not to build your homepage by flagging it as a draft, then you should expect there to be a problem with the output.
