Ranging through yaml files not outputting anything

Welcome to the forum. I’ll give my educated guesses, cause your posted snippet on it’s own lacks information to pin that down exactly. see Requesting Help

involved templates:

  • baseof.html - pass the context (the DOT)

    {{ block "main" . }}{{ end }}

  • your template: the snippet works if

    • it can be found by the lookup rules → actually executed
    • you pass the context (dot from above) which is referenced via $.Site
    • the data structure matches your loop logic
      /data/fridge.yaml should look like:
       - message: Mess 1
   name: Name 1
 - message: Mess2
   name: Name 2

Hints:

  • check the generated html pages in /public/... to see if anything is generated
  • use {{ warnf "hello" }} to debug (processing info in console)

if you can’t spot it → Show your code and Hugo version, env

p.s. consider this - not a cause for your problem right now

site.Data is deprecated since (v0.156.0) change $.Site.fridge to:

  • 156+ : hugo.Data.fridge
  • older versons: i would use site.Data.fridge which eleminates context problems
