I’m trying out a theme and when I run hugo server I get this error: Error: add site dependencies: load resources: loading templates: "{my hugo site}/themes/hugo- refresh/layouts/partials/css.html:27:1": parse failed: template: partials/css.html:27: illegal number syntax: "-" The file in question has what seems to be valid syntax on line 27 (window included for context): 25 {{- $css := resources.Get $sass | resources.ExecuteAsTemplate $scss . | toCSS $cssOpts -}} 26 {{- $css1 := resources.Get "css/monokai-sublime.9.15.8.min.css" -}} 27 {{- $css2 := resources.Get "css/icons.css" -}} 28 {{- $css3 := resources.Get "css/refresh-css.css" -}} 29 {{- $css4 := resources.Get "css/devicon.min.css" -}} The actual file can be found here. Any idea what’s going wrong here?

Hmm, I figured out for me at least it was the extra space in the template which caused the error, when that was removed it worked.

Hi, I had a look at the theme you link to. When I test it using the exampleSite it provides, I get no errors. We will need more details to help you figure this out, have a read about Requesting Help for more details.

The extra blank spaces within the Hugo template tags.

Hi @willismonroe I have the same problem - which space is it you are removing?
