[Feature] Display relative paths for content adapters in template metrics

bandulu · May 31, 2026, 5:53pm

When running hugo --templateMetrics --templateMetricsHints, _content.gotmpl shows the full path instead of relative one e.g /home/bandulu/Code/test/content/freeway/_content.gotmpl. Is it possible to make it just return content/freeway/_content.gotmpl?

Yea, I guess that makes sense … if you could create an issue Issues · gohugoio/hugo · GitHub … so we don’t forget.

NeedsTriage Proposal

When running `hugo --templateMetrics --templateMetricsHints`, the output for con…tent adapter templates (`_content.gotmpl`) displays the absolute file system path instead of a path relative to the project root. For example, it outputs: `/home/JohnDoe/Code/test/content/news/_content.gotmpl` Instead of the cleaner, consistent relative path: `content/news/_content.gotmpl` ### Proposed Solution Modify the template metrics logging so that `_content.gotmpl` files have their paths evaluation relative to the project/module root, matching the behavior of layout templates.
