<.RSSLink>: can't evaluate field RSSLink in type *hugolib.pageState after version upgrade 0.91.2 -> v0.94.0+extended linux/amd64

[ululu]

Hello everyone,

I am facing the following issue with the current snap version (v0.94.0+extended linux/amd64) on ubuntu.
Executing hugo server leads to the following error:

render of "page" failed: "/home/website/layouts/_default/baseof.html:33:8": execute of template failed: template: _default/single.html:33:8: executing "_default/single.html" at <.RSSLink>: can't evaluate field RSSLink in type *hugolib.pageState

I did no changes to my side which is still building in my pipeline with version 0.91.2.

I searched everywhere what could have caused this, but after one hour I am still empty handed and at my wits end as unfortunately I also don’t really understand the error message.

This is the only related code to RSSLink I could find in my baseof.html:

  {{ if .RSSLink }}
  <link href="{{ .RSSLink }}" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{{ .Site.Title }}" />
  {{ end }}

Which looks how it is supposed to be (judging from the github issues I could find).

My _default/single.html is quite basic:

{{ define "main" }}
<article class="container">
    <main class="bd-content">
{{ .Content }}
    </main>
</article>
{{ end }}

The only way how to get my local hugo development working again that I see is to downgrade the hugo version again, which I would like to avoid. So any help or pointers in the right direction on how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated!

.RSSLink

With 0.91.2 that one should have thrown a warning about a deprecation. With 0.94.0 (or in 0.93, not sure) it was finally removed.

The console in previous Hugo versions displayed the following notice regarding .RSSLink:

Page.RSSLink is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use the Output Format’s link, e.g. something like:


{{ with .OutputFormats.Get "RSS" }}{{ .RelPermalink }}{{ end }}

Basically replace instances of .RSSLink with the above construct and the error should be resolved.

Thank you both, for the quick suggestions!
This worked perfectly fine {{ with .OutputFormats.Get “RSS” }}{{ .RelPermalink }}{{ end }}

Somehow I believe there was also some kind of caching issue with the files or the way I was commenting out these lines before. But everything works now, thanks again!
