Hugo-coder: Getting an error when attempting to deploy my site

[pboling]

I am using hugo_0.48_Linux-64bit.deb

remote: Building sites … ERROR 2018/09/04 05:33:39 error: failed to transform resource: TOCSS: failed to transform "style.coder.css" (text/x-scss): this feature is not available in your current Hugo version
remote: Total in 29 ms
remote: Error: Error building site: logged 1 error(s)

Is this theme no longer compatible with current hugo?

[pboling]

Oh, it seems that I require an npm package to run the transform, and as I am deploying to a shared host where I can't (easily) install npm, I think I am stuck.

[luizdepra]

Nope.
This theme uses the Asset Pipeline that is available only in the extended versions of Hugo.
For v0.48, use this one hugo_extended_0.48_Linux-64bit.deb.

[pboling]

Oh, thanks! I'll try that out.

[pboling]

I was able to install the .deb, but I can't run hugo extended. Hosting provider is Dreamhost, by the way.

remote: /home/<username>/root/usr/local/bin/hugo: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /home/<username>/root/usr/local/bin/hugo)
remote: /home/<username>/root/usr/local/bin/hugo: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by /home/<username>/root/usr/local/bin/hugo)

Looks like I will have to try something else.

[luizdepra]

Well, I think you have 2 options.
1) Install Hugo Extended dependencies in your host.
2) Generate your site in your local machine with Hugo Extended, and commit/save the resources folder (which contains all generated CSS files). In other words, if already have all generated CSS files within your project, you can use the default Hugo version to build it.

@pboling 1. you can use the hugo-wrapper instead of actually installing/downloading the Hugo binary (https://github.com/khos2ow/hugo-wrapper)

1. If it's your hosting provider and you have the control to install deb package on it then it's only the matter of installing correct glibc library on that machine.

2. Since this is hosting provider, I would suggest you don't need hugo at all, it's better you have a CI of some sort, and generate your site and push/deploy to the hosting provider (which can have only nginx)

[pboling]

I can do local .deb installs, but not for things like node, npm, or glibc. Dreamhost is selective there, and you can get banned from shared hosting if you are naughty.
I will try the resources option, but I am also having trouble getting hugo to actually build the whole site. It only builds files I've touched, so I have to go through and touch every post (so many!) in order for them to get built. I've just upgraded from hugo v0.15, and it used to build the whole site, IIRC.
I must be missing something, because there is no way a tool like that is useful... Also, not your problem, so thanks for the help!

Have you tried to use Netlify to host your site?
I'm using it. It is quite simple and free for static sites.

[pboling]

No, I'll give it a look.

[khos2ow]

Although with Netlify you will still have the issue of missing glibc library and you will need to check in resources folder. But other than that it's a really cool service.
