I feel like I’m missing something obvious here if someone can help.

I’m trying to use a module and mount assets the way it’s supposed to, in my case [GitHub - gohugoio/hugo-mod-bootstrap-scss: Packages Bootstrap SCSS (v4 and v5) as a Hugo Module](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo-mod-bootstrap-scss) - which should just download bootstrap sources and mount result on assets/scss

I haven’t been able to do so 😃

```auto
$ hugo version
hugo v0.113.0+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2023-07-06T15:15:58Z VendorInfo=debian:0.113.0-2

```

```auto
$ cat hugo.toml 
...

[module]
[[module.imports]]
path = "github.com/gohugoio/hugo-mod-bootstrap-scss/v5"
[[module.imports.mounts]]
source="assets"
target="assets/bootstrap"

```

My `assets` folder remains as it was before using the module.

```auto
$ hugo
Start building sites … 
hugo v0.113.0+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2023-07-06T15:15:58Z VendorInfo=debian:0.113.0-2

Thank you for your help 😃

Quick bump, not making any progress here, I’ve tried a handful of versions of hugo, and also directly with the module which should also mount its own deps into assets. I don’t manage to see the mounted folders, it seems it has no effect. Clearly there’s something wrong the way I’m doing this.

Starting with a clean/virgin site…

```auto
hugo mod init foo

```

hugo.toml

```toml
[module]
[[module.imports]]
path = "github.com/gohugoio/hugo-mod-bootstrap-scss/v5"

```

assets/scss/main.scss (NOT IN STATIC)

```scss
@import "bootstrap/bootstrap

```

baseof.html

```plaintext
<head>
  ....
  {{ with resources.Get "scss/main.scss" | toCSS }}
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ .RelPermalink }}" integrity="{{ .Data.Integrity }}" crossorigin="anonymous">
  {{ end }}
  ...
</head>

```

ok well it does work, thank you sorry for trouble \<3

One misunderstanding about the way it works, I was thinking somehow assets would be populated somewhere in the project path ala node\_modules, but actually go modules for hugo dependencies are stored in hugo temp folder (defaults to /tmp/hugo\_cache)  
…  
This is not super convenient for IDE but I’ll make a symlink or something.

The other mistake I made was a typo on my scss import: `import "bootstrap/boo_R_strap"`… so that’s why my file was not compiling 🤦‍♂️ - getting lost without IDE completion, fatfinger

Thank you 😃

We recently changed the user cache location. See [https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/tag/v0.116.0](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/tag/v0.116.0).

You can vendor the module(s) with `hugo mod vendor`. Then see \_vendor directory in root of project.
