Error building site

[joshuashiing]

Hi All,

I was trying to build my site with Hugo Academic (which used to work), but it fails. Here is the error message:

WARN 2020/12/09 02:00:07 Module "github.com/wowchemy/wowchemy-hugo-modules/wowchemy" is not compatible with this Hugo version; run "hugo mod graph" for more information.
Start building sites …
Built in 734 ms
Error: Error building site: JSBUILD: failed to transform "js/wowchemy-init.js" (application/javascript): Could not resolve "@params" (mark it as external to exclude it from the bundle)

Any idea what it is about?

Thanks!

Update your Hugo version to 0.78.2

First, backup your website before you update it. If you are using Netlify change your netlify.toml file to:

[build]
command = "hugo --gc --minify -b $URL"
publish = "public"

[build.environment]
HUGO_VERSION = "0.78.2"
HUGO_ENABLEGITINFO = "true"

[context.production.environment]
HUGO_ENV = "production"

[context.deploy-preview]
command = "hugo --gc --minify --buildFuture -b $DEPLOY_PRIME_URL"

[context.branch-deploy]
command = "hugo --gc --minify -b $DEPLOY_PRIME_URL"

[[headers]]
for = "*.webmanifest"
[headers.values]
Content-Type = "application/manifest+json; charset=UTF-8"

[[headers]]
for = "index.xml"
[headers.values]
Content-Type = "application/rss+xml"

Thank you guys for your suggestions. Now it works on local: so I can use "hugo server" to build the site, and use a browser to take a look. But when I push it to Github, the actual website (the actual one with a url, not the local one) is not updated (it used to work). Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi guys, thanks for your help. I have figured it out. My site was hosted by Netlify. And I just needed to upgrade the Hugo version before I deploy it on Netlify. Problem solved. Thank you guys!
