site.Params vs .Site.Params

support

I recently tried refactoring my theme to use Hugo v0.53's global site var, but had to revert after some issues.

Here’s some quick steps to reproduce:

  1. git clone https://github.com/zwbetz-gh/vanilla-bootstrap-hugo-theme.git
  2. cd vanilla-bootstrap-hugo-theme/exampleSite
  3. hugo server --themesDir ../.. -v
  4. Peek at http://localhost:1313/ and confirm the footer is visible
  5. Open file layouts/partials/footer.html and change .Site.Params.footerText to site.Params.footerText
  6. Open browser again and notice the footer is no longer displayed

Wondering if you guys can spot what’s going on here. Thanks in advance for any help.

Note: I ran local server with the -v flag but didn’t see any relevant debug output.

I can confirm the behavior on Fedora 28.
