I don't get my head around about (hu)go-modules - A few questions regarding mounts

support
2

I found my solution.

The issue was (I think?) a bug in hugo.

The config file was found via hugo config and the mounts also via hugo config mounts
BUT
the configs werent tracked from the “configs” folder in the theme. So my mount definition just wasnt executed.

So there were two solutions:

  1. Use a themefolder-level config file without separation e.g. config.yaml
  2. Use (following that thread ) _merge: shallow or deep. This must be done on site level of configuration e.g. hugo-site/config/config.yaml

BUT I could not use the separation of the configuration files like on site-level

config
 _default
--------config.yaml
--------params.yaml
--------module.yaml

this was not possible on theme level.
So is this a bug ?

Steps to reproduce:

  1. create a theme
  2. create config folder for theme
  3. put configs in config.yaml and params.yaml
  4. use this debug helper or do your own
{{ define "main }}
<pre>
  {{ debug.Dump .Site.Params }}
</pre>
{{ end }}

Look at the params and if the ones in from the theme are available as well.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

TLDR Solution (for the problem, not directly the questions)

  • make sure that your config.yaml file is placed on theme-level and not in a config-folder
