$img.Params.Get: Get is not a method but has arguments

Two and a half years ago @jmooring helped me to alter the build-in figure shortcode to use page ressources. This worked find at that time. I now wanted to update the website, but the build fails with:

$ hugo server -w
Watching for changes in /web/{archetypes,content,data,layouts,static,themes}
Watching for config changes in /web/config.toml

hugo v0.121.1-00b46fed8e47f7bb0a85d7cfc2d9f1356379b740+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2023-12-08T08:47:45Z VendorInfo=snap:0.121.1

Error: error building site: "/web/content/haeuser/weidelbach/index.md:56:1": failed to render shortcode "figure": failed to process shortcode: "/web/themes/gewoba/layouts/shortcodes/figure.html:2:19": execute of template failed: template: shortcodes/figure.html:2:19: executing "shortcodes/figure.html" at <$img.Params.Get>: Get is not a method but has arguments

The altered figure shortcode is:

{{ $img := $.Page.Resources.GetMatch (.Get "src")}}
<figure{{ with $img.Params.Get "class" }} class="{{ . }}"{{ end }} {{ with $img.Params.Get "width" }} style="width:calc({{ . }} - 4em - 32px);"{{ end }}>
    {{- if $img.Params.Get "link" -}}
        <a href="{{ $img.Params.Get "link" }}"{{ with $img.Params.Get "target" }} target="{{ . }}"{{ end }}{{ with .Get "rel" }} rel="{{ . }}"{{ end }}>
    {{- end }}
    <img src="{{ $img.RelPermalink }}"
         {{- if or ($img.Params.Get "alt") ($img.Params.Get "caption") }}
         alt="{{ with $img.Params.Get "alt" }}{{ . }}{{ else }}{{ $img.Params.Get "caption" | markdownify| plainify }}{{ end }}"
         {{- end -}}
         width="100%"
         {{- with $img.Params.Get "height" }} height="{{ . }}"{{ end -}}
    /> <!-- Closing img tag -->
    {{- if $img.Params.Get "link" }}</a>{{ end -}}
    {{- if or (or ($img.Title) ($img.Params.Get "caption")) ($img.Params.Get "attr") -}}
        <figcaption>
            {{ with ($img.Title) -}}
                <h4>{{ . }}</h4>
            {{- end -}}
            {{- if or ($img.Params.Get "caption") ($img.Params.Get "attr") -}}<p>
                {{- $img.Params.Get "caption" | markdownify -}}
                {{- with $img.Params.Get "attrlink" }}
                    <a href="{{ . }}">
                {{- end -}}
                {{- $img.Params.Get "attr" | markdownify -}}
                {{- if $img.Params.Get "attrlink" }}</a>{{ end }}</p>
            {{- end }}
        </figcaption>
    {{- end }}
</figure>

I’m wondering if I ran into the bug "is not a method but has arguments" error message is confusing · Issue #10862 · gohugoio/hugo · GitHub but I’m unfortuntely unable to understand what changes I do need to make. I appreciate any hint. :slight_smile:

The .Get method on a parameters map (type = maps.Params) was, to the best of my knowledge, never documented. It was intended for internal use, and was intentionally removed in v0.112.0.

Instead of this:

{{ with .Resources.Get "a.jpg" }}
  {{ .Params.Get "alt" }}
{{ end }}

Do this:

{{ with .Resources.Get "a.jpg" }}
  {{ .Params.alt }}
{{ end }}

Or this:

{{ with .Resources.Get "a.jpg" }}
  {{ index .Params "alt" }}
{{ end }}

Thanks for your fast and helpful support! I’ve updated the shortcode according to your first suggestion. Now the build runs through without an error message. :slight_smile:
