Build: Hugo-extended builds that previously successfully deployed now require explicit hugo-extended install

Created on 28 May 2020  ·  7Comments  ·  Source: netlify/build

Describe the bug
A user who was previously successfully deploying hugo-extended builds started seeing build failures due to scss handling errors:

4:35:55 PM: $ hugo --gc --minify --enableGitInfo --baseURL $URL --environment development
4:35:55 PM: DEBUG target={ platform: 'linux', arch: 'x64' }, hugo={ version: '0.71.0' }

This line:
4:35:55 PM: DEBUG downloading archive from <https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.71.0/hugo_0.71.0_Linux-64bit.tar.gz>
is the correct Hugo version number but it is not the extended version.

User said:

It looks like the new version of Netlify build looks for the hugo-extended npm package first and if it doesn't find it it'll fall back to the lesser version preventing the SCSS features of Hugo.

He fixed this issue by running npm install hugo-extended --save-dev, which previously was not required.

Deploy logs
Logs for the following are here (not public):

  • successful deploy before Build
  • failed deploy with Build
  • successful deploy with Build, after npm install hugo-extended

Additional context
The person who ran into this created a post in Hugo forums explaining: https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/netlify-build-error-255-tocss-troubleshooting/25887/5

Update

Was able to reproduce locally in this branch https://github.com/erezrokah/hugo-coder/tree/chore/change_hugo_version by running:

npm install
npm run make:prepare
HUGO_VERSION=0.71.1 npm run serve

Underlying issue - hugo-cli dependency will shadow Netlify buildbot Hugo version based on whatever is specified in HUGO_VERSION and will do it with the non extended version.
The Hugo version will be downloaded under node_modules hence, cached for future builds.

hugo-extended acts similar to hugo-cli but with the extended version.

Solution

Solution - remove hugo-cli dependency or use hugo-extended.

Following up on this - looks like these logs are coming from an external dependency and not from Netlify build process: https://github.com/nikku/hugo-cli/blob/335be93184d20bcd457aea2617d06ad018824443/index.js#L178

If Hugo's version is missing Netlify installs the extended version as can be seen here:
https://app.netlify.com/sites/flamboyant-brahmagupta-d09f93/deploys/5edd05d8cd525f00080b784a

Once I added that dependency to my Hugo repo (this is repo that uses SCSS) I started getting those message as can be seen here:
https://app.netlify.com/sites/flamboyant-brahmagupta-d09f93/deploys/5edd0cf2c2fbad0008ad8da4

Though not getting the build failures yet.

Still not sure what had changed or why the npm install hugo-extended --save-dev fixes the build but will dig dipper.

Hi @Pranavbawa, as this doesn't seem to be related to the this issue I recommend asking in Netlify community:
https://community.netlify.com

Regardless, looks like your build command is failing Command failed with exit code 255: hugo --gc --minify. I would try running netlify build locally using Netlify CLI https://docs.netlify.com/cli/get-started/ to get more insights.
