Partial not found error

support
1

I tried to insert a partial into my templates {{- partial "main/menu.html " . }} but the build kept failing with the partial not found error message. Turns out the problem was the space I inserted accidentally between the work html and the closing quote. Is it possible for Hugo to show a better error message? The partial path is correct, and I was confused why it was failing until I looked at the partial’s code again and noticed the space.

" m ain/ men u . h t ml " is a valid file path.

It fails in my site. Not sure why. Says partial not found.

My point is, it should fail and say “file not found”, because you are giving it a valid path (operating systems such as macOS and Linux allows file paths with spaces, newlines, etc.).

So, I bet there is no way around this other than to code carefully.

That’s right, if you tell it to get file A, and file A doesn’t exist, it should throw an error.
