Log spam caused by try

[akbyrd]

I think try might have some debug logging enabled. When I use {{ $width := (try $resource.Width) }} I get a bunch of logging of what looks like the SubType of the resource

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

hugo v0.142.0-1f746a872442e66b6afd47c8c04ac42dc92cdb6f+extended windows/amd64 BuildDate=2025-01-22T12:20:52Z VendorInfo=gohugoio

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

{{ $width := (try $resource.Width) }}

That construct is eating the error. See https://gohugo.io/functions/go-template/try/. Do this instead:

{{ with try $resource.Width }}
  {{ with .Err }}
    {{ errorf "%s" . }}
  {{ else }}
    {{ fmt.Printf "The width is %v" .Value }}
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

Directly above the error you will see the media subtype. We'll remove that.

If you want to ignore the error, perhaps while ranging over a collection of resources:

{{ range resources.Match "*" }}
  {{ with try .Width }}
    {{ fmt.Printf "The width is %v" .Value }}
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

Thanks for the tip. I minimized it for the sake of example. My actual use case is setting a value in a dictionary where I'm ok with it being null:

{{ $ret = dict
	"Resource"     $resource
	"Integrity"    $integrity
	"Permalink"    $resource.Permalink
	"RelPermalink" $resource.RelPermalink
	"Width"        (try $resource.Width).Value
	"Height"       (try $resource.Height).Value
}}
{{ return $ret }}

I think this is ok? The user of the partial is expected to deal with the potentially-nil value

this is ok?

Yes.
