I am totally new to Hugo and use a Win7 machine with cygwin. I have go 1.5.3 installed and working with other Go apps.
I was able to install hugo from source and hugo version returns v0.16-DEV
I went through the following basic steps
hugo new site ./site
installed base16 in themes
created a new post with hugo new post/welcome.md
ran hugo server from the site folder
I notice that the theme should contribute img and css files but they’re missing from the public folder…
The result is a broken site without theme but working links…
My config.toml is below (fairly basic, baseURL is ignored by hugo server anyway)
languageCode = "en-us" title = "My base16 Hugo Site" theme = "base16"
I am running out of ideas… and might have omitted some fundamental step…
TIA
Could you please share a tree view of your site’s directory? It will help us debug the issue.
I just tried base16 with my blog using the 0.15 pre-compiled Windows binary and it worked.
Also try running the server using the --renderToDisk command, there are some issues with rendering from memory on some platforms.
Sorry one more edit: As far as I know hugo server does not create anything in the public directory by default. Just run hugo to generate the site and populate the public directory.
Thank you for the responses! I had tried from a cmd box as well. Same result.
The tree under site is below . |-archetypes |-content |---post |-data |-layouts |-public |---css |---img |---post |-----welcome |-static |-themes |---base16 |-----archetypes |-----images |-----layouts |-------_default |-------partials |-----static |-------css |-------img

baseUrl doesn’t seem to be the issue here (can be set to “bla” doesn’t matter as the issue above indicates)
–renderToDisk was interesting as I feel suspicious of the afero UnionFS thing on cygwin/windows but it didn’t help.
I have made progress by creating MANUALLY empty css and img directories under site/static to mirror the same directories in the theme from themes/base16/static
Now I can see the beautiful base16 on localhost:1313 but this seems to be an odd workaround. Not sure what happens here…
@bep I described the workaround which involves created the folders css and img from the theme - not sure how code helps here. See above my folder structure before manual creation of these directories… static is empty.
Can afero be the issue? Why do I have to create folders manually if there’s a union mount by afero? The union mount should have brought the two directories from the theme no?
Quick recap: I create a simple config.toml and use the base16 theme. The theme comes with img and css. My site has an empty static directory.
I am using hugo v0.16-DEV and the afero version used is on commit 2f194a
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
