Hugo --minify output is inconsistent

I’m using GitHub Actions to deploy my Hugo website to GitHub Pages. I noticed that it changed output in the last 24 hours without code changes, so I dug into this more.

At first I was not able to duplicate the issue locally. Then I updated versions.

  • Go
    • Old: 1.15
    • New: 1.17
  • Hugo
    • Old: v0.96.0+extended darwin/arm64 BuildDate=unknown
    • New: v0.97.1+extended darwin/arm64 BuildDate=unknown

And I ran hugo mod clean --all and reset my go files to ensure my modules were up-to-date.

I am now able to duplicate the issue locally. Through many runs of this Bash command I have seen different outputs multiple times:

rm -rf ./public_old; cp -r ./public ./public_old; rm -rf ./public; hugo --quiet --minify; [ -d "./public/fonts" ] && echo "fonts/ directory exists"

Specifically, the majority of the time it’s not generating directories which belong to my theme and Twemoji module.

  • fonts/
  • icons/
  • twemoji/

About a 1 in 15 chance of the directories being created from my testing. Perhaps I’m not using hugo --minify as intended? It came from the GitHub Actions docs.

Ah, this seems to be the /static synching bug in v0.97.2. I figured I was doing something wrong that I forgot to double check source code.
