Hugo 0.53 fails to build

support

Hi!

I was using Hugo with the Academic theme with great pleasure so far. I decided to upgrade to test new features in the Academic theme.

I updated Hugo to version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.53-8FC339DC2529FF77E494A1C12CD1FF9FBCB880A4 linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2018-12-24T08:26:10Z
and Academic to latest with git. Unfortunately I cannot seem to build my website anymore. I get the following error message:

Total in 72 ms
Error: Error building site: failed to render pages: render of "home" failed: execute of template failed: 
template: index.html:4:3: executing "index.html" at <partial "widget_page...>: error calling partial: "/home
/my-name/science/website-new/themes/academic/layouts/partials/widget_page.html:23:9": execute of 
template failed: template: partials/widget_page.html:23:9: executing "partials/widget_page.html" at <partial 
$widget $par...>: error calling partial: Partial "widgets/search.html" not found

I could fix the problem by myself after noticing the breaking changes here: https://sourcethemes.com/academic/updates/v3.2.0/

  • Search widget is deprecated and content/home/search.md should be removed
