Filtering by section does not work properly

I am having trouble generating a list of blog posts and projects on my index page.

I have 2 sections: blog and projects.

In /layout/index.html I have:

<h3>blog</h3>
<ul>
    {{- range (.Paginate (where site.RegularPages "Section" "blog" | first 3 )).Pages }}
        <li><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .Title }}</a></li>
    {{- end -}}
</ul>

<h3>projects</h3>
<ul>
    {{- range (.Paginate (where site.RegularPages "Section" "projects" | first 3 )).Pages }}
        <li><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .Title }}</a></li>
    {{- end -}}
</ul>

And this content directory.

content
├── blog
│   └── 1.md
├── contact.md
└── projects
    └── 2.md

1.md looks like this:

---
title: 11
---

111

Same for 2.md, except with 2s instead of 1s.

So, with this configuration, I would expect my generated list to be something like:

blog
- 11

projects
- 22

However, I get this:
maybe_hugo_bug

What am I doing wrong? If this is a bug, what can I do to work around it?

You are invoking .Paginate twice. See:
https://gohugo.io/templates/pagination/#list-paginator-pages

The .Paginator is static and cannot change once created.

Since you are only listing 3+3=6 pages, why paginate at all?

Thank you!

You helped me come up with a solution:

{{- range where site.RegularPages "Section" "projects" | first 3 }}

I found the old code on some old thread and thought it was some kind of magic that’s supposed to just work. Anyway, the problem is now solved.
