Local build renders new page, Netlify does not

support
1

I’m not sure where to ask for help with this, but maybe here’s the place.

My site is crediblecorvid.com .
I’m using HUGO_VERSION = "0.70.0" .
My theme is Hugo-Academic.
I’m creating my site with the R package blogdown.

In case it matters, I have two Git branches on GitHub. One for testing, and one for production.

In my development branch, I created a new page with an embedded video for an academic talk. On GitHub I created a pull request to merge that page into my production branch. The pull request passed all checks and Netlify created a preview, as expected. The new page is not showing up in the deploy preview. My local build (verified using the same Hugo version) has the new page, and I can see the markdown file for it in the pull request on GitHub, so I don’t know what’s going on.

The new page should be /talk/esa_2020/index.html
The markdown is in the testing branch at content/talk/ESA_2020/index.md
The pull request is here: https://github.com/gregorypenn/crediblecorvid/pull/4

My first guess would be that Netlify isn’t building future pages? Looks like the page has date: "2020-08-03" in the frontmatter. Maybe test either changing the date to today, or changing the build command in Netlify to hugo --buildFuture, but let me know if I’m wrong. :slight_smile:

edit: if you only want to build future pages on deploy previews and not the main site yet, you can set different build commands for different contexts in netlify.toml:

[context.branch-deploy]
  command = "hugo --buildFuture"

Thanks @jakejarvis ! I’m still pretty new to this and didn’t realize how that worked until you pointed it out. I tried commenting out the publishDate line from the YAML, and when that didn’t work, I set the date to one prior to today, and that did it.
