What does this GO error mean?

Hello all,

I was looking at setting up a hugo theme following the these instructions. Right after creating my project, when copying the exampleSite files into my project root and running hugo server I get the below GO error:

panic: interface conversion: interface {} is string, not map[string]interface {}

goroutine 1 [running]:

What does the above error mean? Is it a syntax error or something like a missing error? Which file is complaining?
I don’t know GO at all and am quite lost here…

Thanks!

You are more likely to receive an accurate and timely response if you post a link to the public repository for your project.

See https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/requesting-help/9132.

Let us see your code

Include a link to the source code repository of your project, because we really need the context of seeing your templates and partials to be able to help you. It is trivial to do a quick git clone on your repo, then run hugo server in your project, to help you out. On the other hand, recreating your code from screenshots, or sort of guessing at it, is not.

If you can’t share your repository for whatever reason, consider creating a dummy repo that you can share, which reproduces the problem you’re experiencing.

Apologies, this is the repo.

Thank you! That is interesting, the exact same commands produce this error on my machine:

I’ve tried cloning this within a newly created hugo project’s theme directory and also tried with a random non-hugo folder on the filesystem and am getting the same response.

Not sure if this is something to do with my environment, but I am cloning the same repo and running the same commands as you but getting a different outcome…

It doesn’t crash with v0.76.0 or later.

I suggest you upgrade. The current version is v0.110.0.
