How to wrap Hugo code in comments?

[specimen]

For example

{{ else }}
    {{- warnf "missing cover image for page %s" . -}}
  {{- end }}

because this does not work

 {{-/* 
   {{ else }}
    {{- warnf "missing cover image for page %s" . -}}
 /*}}

I’m not sure what that means. Bit if you’re starting with something like this:

{{ if false }}
  {{ warnf "%s" "false" }}
{{ else }}
  {{ warnf "%s" "true" }}
{{ end }}

This works great:

{{ if false }}
  {{ warnf "%s" "false" }}
{{ else }}
  {{/*  {{ warnf "%s" "true" }}  */}}
{{ end }}

And so does this:

{{ if false }}
  {{ warnf "%s" "false" }}
{{/*  {{ else }}
  {{ warnf "%s" "true" }}  */}}
{{ end }}

@jmooring

I’m not sure what that means.

The terminal claims the comment is unclosed. parse failed unclosed comment

[jmooring]

@specimen

{{- warnf "missing cover image for page %s" . -}}

Then your actual code doesn’t match what I’ve shown above, or the error is coming from someplace else.

[irkode]

@specimen

/*}}

Your end delimiter is wrong use */ }} instead

One of my common pitfalls

You are right! Talk about a simple mistake. /* instead of */ in the closing comment. Took me a while to debug it.

@irkode true! I spent close to 40 minutes on it. lol. (That section of your code Error: Can't evaluate field RelPermalink in type string - #2 by irkode was throwing warnings for draft posts. Hence the need to comment it out and only use it when necessary).
