I’ve been working through this and I believe I am seeing some inconsistency in the way .Lastmod
is populated.
Note: throughout all my tests, I always use full Hugo renders, with --enableGitInfo --disableFastRender
I built a partial to dump a range of pages like this:
<div class="">
<h2>ByLastMod</h2>
{{ $byLastMod := .Site.RegularPages.ByLastmod }}
{{ $recent := ($byLastMod | last 5).Reverse }}
<ol>
{{ range $byLastMod }}
<li>
<p class="" style="margin:0 0;">
File <b>{{ .Title }}</b> Lastmod date is <b>{{ .Lastmod }}</b>
</p>
</li>
{{ end }}
</ol>
</div>
This gives me the following list:

So, a bunch of files don’t get a proper .Lastmod
date. Note that these pages don’t generally contain lastmod
in the front-matter, nor date
, so I’m expecting this to come from GitInfo.AuthorDate
as defined here (in the .Lastmod
section). The exception to this are those 3 files showing dates from 2015-2017, that’s coming from front-matter.
Now, sometimes it seems to pick up my commit date. But it’s very irregular. I’ve even seen the same file get a .Lastmod
date from a commit, but then not from a subsequent commit done afterwards.
I attempted several things trying to look for a pattern of when it fails:
- is it when I commit several files in one commit, versus single-file commits?
- is it merge commits versus other commits?
- is it when I commit files with spaces in their names?
None of these were conclusive, it must be something else…
Although I don’t know any Go, I’ve even looked at Hugo code to try and figure out how GitInfo grabs information from Git. I’ve tracked it down to this and this. I got stuck on this line, it’s not the kind of thing one can figure out easily without actually running it and testing it
If you can just tell me exactly what git
command that produces I think I can continue debugging on my own, trying to see how the git log
output is coming from my git repo.
