Can't evaluate field PostProcess in type interface {} when using snippet from docs

support
1

Hi I am trying to use postcss. I use the snippet from the docs.

{{ $css := resources.Get "css/main.css" }}
{{ $css = $css | resources.PostCSS }}
{{ if hugo.IsProduction }}
{{ $css = $css | minify | fingerprint | resources.PostProcess }}
{{ end }}
<link href="{{ $css.RelPermalink }}" rel="stylesheet" />

When I remove resources.PostProcess from the pipe it actually works. Otherwise I get tis error:

PS C:\Users\nico.braun\Documents\Code\portfolio> hugo -e production

I am not sure If this might be because I only have a baseof and a list template so far. On the other hand, I dont see a good reason why it shouldn’t work with only those templates.

It works when I run hugo server. No issues with the postcss setup there.

check your hugo version - you need to be 0.69 and above for PostProcess to work.

I’m seeing this on netlify but not on local installation?

You should look in the Netlify docs about how to set Hugo version.
