Archives theme: minimum required Hugo version is 0.69

I’m trying to upload my Hugo website to Netlify but I’m getting a Command failed with exit code 255: hugo error during the build process. Since this is something I’ve hand-coded on my own I’m sure there is some essential file that I missed in the process, which is throwing everything off.

My entire repo is uploaded here: GitHub - thedivtagguy/srishtiarchives

Based on previous answers I found on the forums, I thought this was because I was missing netlify.toml file (which I was), and so I added the following:

[build] 
  publish = "public"
  command = "hugo"

[context.production.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = "0.54.0" # if older, use format: 0.53 (no trailing zero)
  HUGO_ENV = "production"
  HUGO_ENABLEGITINFO = "true"
  
[context.branch-deploy.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = "0.54.0" # if older, use format: 0.53 (no trailing zero)

[context.deploy-preview.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = "0.54.0"

This also does nothing to fix the error. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this?

The error log explicitly mentions that:

ERROR 2021/02/18 13:18:30 ARCHIVES theme does not support Hugo version 0.54.0. Minimum version required is 0.69

So basically in netlify.toml you need to set the Hugo version to 0.69.0 or higher.

I changed the version to 0.69 but now I have this error in my build process:

7:24:14 PM: Installing Hugo 0.69
7:24:15 PM: Error during Hugo 0.69 install: error downloading project gohugoio/hugo, from https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.69/hugo_extended_0.69_Linux-64bit.tar.gz - binary doesn't seem to exist: 404
7:24:15 PM: Build was terminated: Build script returned non-zero exit code: 1
7:24:15 PM: Failing build: Failed to build site
7:24:16 PM: Finished processing build request in 12.046969144s

Has the file been moved somewhere, hence the 404 error?

EDIT: Just responding to the title change. Archives theme is not an official or downloadable Hugo theme. It’s a private, handmade template that I’m using for my website.

The URL/version number is wrong. It should be:

https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.69.0/hugo_extended_0.69.0_Linux-64bit.tar.gz

So “0.69.0”, not “0.69”.

You can see releases here Releases · gohugoio/hugo · GitHub

This is where the minimum version is set:

I changed 0.69 to 0.69.0 but there is no change in the error log:

Another thing I’m just noticing is

Error: Error building site: POSTCSS: failed to transform "css/styles.css" (text/css): resource "css/css/styles.css_f2054ba793222939610cd2936fa9ba1e" not found in file cache

Could this be causing the issue? I’ve used a tailwind starter theme (GitHub - dirkolbrich/hugo-theme-tailwindcss-starter: Starter files for a Hugo theme with Tailwindcss) and not changed any of the processing code so I don’t even know where to start fixing this.

Thank you, that fixed it! Should have looked there beforehand :sweat_smile:

Still it is a theme error. The Using Themes category is meant for themes public or otherwise.

Also in my reply above I wrote:

The numbering of recent Hugo versions takes an extra zero at the end. Version 0.69 does not exist therefore Netlify could not find it.

Glad @frjo heped you solve the deployment issue.

Thank you for clarifying! I just didn’t want to cause any confusion so I thought I’d add some explanation :slight_smile:
