Hugo: Content Not Rendering

[n3integration]

I am trying to build a site using hugo that depends on the material docs theme. When I run hugo to generate the site, the index.html page is being rendered in the public directory, but no other files are generated.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. hugo new site test
2. cd test && git clone https://github.com/digitalcraftsman/hugo-material-docs.git themes/hugo-material-docs
3. cp themes/hugo-material-docs/exampleSite/config.toml config.toml
4. cp -r themes/hugo-material-docs/exampleSite/content/* content
5. hugo
6. find public -type f -name '*.html' | xargs ls -l

    :sparkles: Implement Page bundling and image handling

    This commit is not the smallest in Hugo's history.

    Some hightlights include:

    * Page bundles (for complete articles, keeping images and content together etc.).
    * Bundled images can be processed in as many versions/sizes as you need with the three methods `Resize`, `Fill` and `Fit`.
    * Processed images are cached inside `resources/_gen/images` (default) in your project.
    * Symbolic links (both files and dirs) are now allowed anywhere inside /content
    * A new table based build summary
    * The "Total in nn ms" now reports the total including the handling of the files inside /static. So if it now reports more than you're used to, it is just **more real** and probably faster than before (see below).

    A site building  benchmark run compared to `v0.31.1` shows that this should be slightly faster and use less memory:

    ```bash
    ▶ ./benchSite.sh "TOML,num_langs=.*,num_root_sections=5,num_pages=(500|1000),tags_per_page=5,shortcodes,render"

@vassudanagunta - Thanks for the pointer.

@bep - Thanks for the quick reply. The site renders in memory, but does not render to disk. Given the inconsistent behavior, it felt like it might be a bug. If there is an incompatibility with the theme, I was hoping that an error or warning would be displayed to indicate what went awry.

Another detail worth mentioning is that the Pages counter goes up or down depending on whether I add or remove files from the content directory. However, no additional pages are rendered in the public directory.

[seqid]

same issue happened @n3integration do you have any workaround now?

[n3integration]

@seqid - I've rolled back to the commit before 3cdf19e9b7e46c57a9bb43ff02199177feb55768 and rebuilt hugo locally to work around the issue.

[seqid]

Thanks @n3integration , I don`t know how i fixed the issue.

i just changed below meta description format in the markdown file.

author: "Michael Henderson"
date: 2014-09-28
linktitle: Creating a New Theme
title: Creating a New Theme
highlight: true
---

to

title = "(Hu)go Template Primer"
description = ""
tags = [
    "go",
    "golang",
    "templates",
    "themes",
    "development",
]
date = "2014-04-02"
categories = [
    "Development",
    "golang",
]
highlight = "true"
+++

and it will not skip render the markdown file anymore after rebuild.

@seqid. Thanks! worked for me. Curious to know why does one change the meta description format?
