Hugo seems to try to pass all the content from public/ through a template function.
These are static assets from static/.
I suspect this issue to be related to 0.18.0 or 0.18.1, as I did not change the structure of my project, only updated hugo via brew. Probably related to https://github.com/spf13/hugo/issues/2820.
While the issues are labeled as ERROR, the site generation still works. Is this desired? Should it maybe be a WARNING, or not compile at all?
It would be very kind if you could help to figure out the issue.
