Hugo inserting scripts into search index json breaking it, possible bug maybe?

support
1

So I’m using elasticlunr for search and for some reason hugo is inserting 2 script tags to my son which causes it to break.

This is the template I am using for my json file in layouts/json/single.html

{{- $.Scratch.Add "index" slice -}}
{{- range .Site.Pages -}}
{{- $.Scratch.Add "index" (dict "title" .Title "uri" .Permalink "tags" .Params.tags "content" .Plain "section" (.Section | title)) -}}
{{- end -}}
{{- $.Scratch.Get "index" | jsonify -}}

This is the toml of my page:

---
type: "json"
url: "search-index.json"
---

When I visit the link to my json file I see hugo is appending 2 script tags which is breaking my search index. These are the script tags:

<script src="/livereload.js?mindelay=10&amp;v=2&amp;port=1313&amp;path=livereload" data-no-instant defer></script><script data-no-instant defer>console.warn('"head" or "body" tag is required in html to append livereload script. As a fallback, Hugo injects it somewhere but it might not work properly.');</script>

If I start hugo with livereload disabled everything works fine: hugo server --disableLiveReload

Any idea if there is a config setting in order to prevent this or if I am doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks.

Is this really a problem? You will ever only see it in development since that is the only time you use hugo server and you already found a work around for that.

That’s a fair point I just figured out it worked by disabling live reload, the thing is it was not a problem before so it might be a bug.

The behavior changed in v0.102.0 due to:

You are currently generating your JSON search index with the HTML output format. By default, this output format has the isHTML property set to true, which (among other things) triggers injection of the livereload script.

Instead, generate your JSON search index with the JSON output format. By default, this output format has the isHTML property set to false, which prevents injection of the livereload script.

layouts/_default/search.json

{{- $.Scratch.Add "index" slice -}}
{{- range .Site.Pages -}}
{{- $.Scratch.Add "index" (dict "title" .Title "uri" .Permalink "tags" .Params.tags "content" .Plain "section" (.Section | title)) -}}
{{- end -}}
{{- $.Scratch.Get "index" | jsonify (dict "indent" "  ") -}}
