Trouble with GitLab Pages - template error

support

I’m switching a couple sites from WordPress to Hugo on GitLab. I’m trying to get a second blog running, but I’m getting an error when it tries to build.

You can find my repo here: https://gitlab.com/JohnBlood/manjaro-rocks-blog. Here is my config file (I just started on this blog): https://gitlab.com/JohnBlood/manjaro-rocks-blog/blob/master/config.toml. Here is the output link: https://johnblood.gitlab.io/manjaro-rocks-blog/

Any help would be appreciated.

According to the error message the problem can be found in line 5 in the single.content.html template.

{{ $categoryCount := .Params.categories | len }}

It seems that some of your content files don’t define any categories in the frontmatter. Therefore, the value of categories is nil and nil | len would cause an error.

First, I would check with isset, if the variable is set or not in order to prevent the error message.

I added a category and now it builds successfully. Thanks

I’ll probably be back very soon with simple noob questions. :slightly_smiling:
