Hi there,

there is a postcss-cli error in version 0.97.2 which i was hoping to be fixed in version 0.97.3 but seems like it is still there.

version 97.2, displays an odd message that wasn’t there before, indicating that post CSS isn’t supported in this hugo version.

Sorry for the site breakage,

But I’m not able to connect the error message you get with any changes we’ve made in this release, and without seeing the source, it’s hard to guess.

I just upgraded a PostCSS site building on Netlify just fine:

Chiming in here, if your site 1) Worked in 0.96 and 2) Doesn’t work now and that is the only change made, it’s by definition a bug and should be continued here: Issues · gohugoio/hugo · GitHub

Hello bep,

I was able to upgrade a few themes without difficulty using postcss-cli, but more than three themes indicate that postcss is not supported in this hugo version. I’ll continue to test while I figure out why this is happening. While I am unable to provide the present theme, I will make a copy of it without the sensitive data and share it with the problem on github.

Thank you for taking the time to assist.
