Error: failed to prune cache "assets"

[rahilwazir]

I'm using the following theme: https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng.git

And when I try to deploy it on Netlify, I face the following error.

> hugo --gc --minify
Total in 27 ms
Error: failed to prune cache "assets": remove /home/x/x/resources/_gen/assets/js/js/main.js_d11fe7b62c27961c87ecd0f2490357b9.content: no such file or directory

This also happens on my local machine.

Pretty sure this is the same as #5673

[rahilwazir]

I'm not sure but to give you more detail..

Terminal

File Tree

There are two nested js and scss directories, Is it intentional?

Let me know if it still the same as #5673

@rahilwazir did you find the bug?

[rahilwazir]

Nah man, I changed my theme and it worked out for me. Are you using the theme?

[neslinesli93]

Yep, however I went and used hello-friend, and it works like a charm. I'd like to use this one because the defaults look way better...

[neslinesli93]

Unfortunately we can't open issues on hello-friend-ng repo, so I'm pinging @rhazdon and hope he sees it

[rhazdon]

@neslinesli93, thanks for pinging. I will take a look at it. I've also enabled the issue tracker for the repo...

[neslinesli93]

Thanks man, I was sending you an email regarding the issue, but thankfully you enabled issues...

[rhazdon]

@neslinesli93, @rahilwazir

I checked the issue and found the problem. The "bug" is the resources folder in the theme itself. Usually, you don't need this folder, so feel free and delete it. Then it should work as expected.

Hugo asked me to add the folder to the repo gohugoio/hugoThemes#577 (comment), because hello-friend-ng uses the Hugo asset pipelines instead of webpack (or similar tools). That means that your assets are genreated completly fresh when you compile your project.
Netlify had some issues with this pipeline stuff... I don't know if it is already fixed.

[neslinesli93]

How can we do this by keeping your theme as a submodule?

[rhazdon]

@digitalcraftsman, do you know maybe, if the issue regarding the hugo asset pipeline and the theme page (Netlify) is solved?

[rhazdon]

@digitalcraftsman Sorry for tagging you again. Are there any news regarding Netlify? Is it possible to delete the resources folder from the repo without crashing the example pages?

The https://github.com/htr3n/hyde-hyde theme has the same problem.

[josineto]

The Hermit theme has the same problem (as @kimfucious and I have reported here).

For me force removing _gen folders before runnning hugo works fine, and build is ok on netlify

In my netlify.toml:

command = "find . -name _gen -exec rm -rf {} + ; hugo --gc --minify"

Hope this helps

Reasonable workaround. Thanks.
