Error: panic in Execute, with if statment

Hi :slight_smile:,

I’m new to Hugo and I have an issue, when I runserver my if statement throws the following error.

Error: Error building site: failed to render pages: render of "taxonomyTerm" failed: "C:\projects\travel-log\themes\travel-log\layouts\_default\list.html:1:1": execute of template failed: panic in Execute: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference. See "https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/5327" for the reason why we cannot provide a better error message for this.

If I remove my if statement, my webserver start. Then if I add back my if statement, I don’t have any error and the code does what I expect :thinking:. I’m running Hugo v0.51 on Windows 10.

Not really sure what I’m doing wrong. Basically, I try to list out all the descendant posts from my list page.

{{ $thisPage := .CurrentSection }}
{{ range .Site.RegularPages }}
  {{ if .IsDescendant $thisPage}}
    <li>
      <a href="{{ .URL }}">{{ .Title }}</a>
     </li>
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

Code is in the rebuild branch of this repo https://github.com/vinceumo/travel-log/tree/rebuild

Thanks for the help

Hi,

I’m guessing it errors out because, without having their own layouts, taxonomyTerm pages also use that list.html layout.

Edited:

Doing some testing, CurrentSection returns <nil> on taxonomyTerm and taxonomy pages , which explains the nil pointer error.

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

As I do not need taxonomyTerm in my project I just disabled this option by adding this in my config.toml file:

disableKinds = ["taxonomy","taxonomyTerm"]
