Lookup rules issue but don't see my mistake

[Jura]

The problem I’m having:

WARN 2020/08/22 18:44:04 found no layout file for “banners” for kind “page”:

I don’t see my mistake and could use a fresh set of eyes.

From the lookup order I learned:

• Single page in “posts” section with layout set
  • …
  • layouts/_default/demolayout.html
  • …

In my front matter I have:

---
title: "My banners"

layout:
- banners
outputs:
- banners
---

I defined that custom output as follows:

outputFormats:
  Banners:
    baseName: banners
    mediaType: application/json

In my theme folder I have:

• layouts/_default/banners.json

But why doesn’t Hugo pick up my banners.json template file? I used the same name as its layout is, like the examples suggest (demolayout.html).

The docs on the custom output formats page also list the same example (layouts/_default/demolayout.html).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Change:

layout:
- banners

To:

layout: banners

That’s it! Thanks so much Joe! I was so hard looking at the more complicated things that I totally didn’t realise the silly mistake of layout. Thanks!
