Hugo: toml: Error from escaped backslash in multi-line string

Created on 3 Jan 2019 · 3Comments · Source: gohugoio/hugo

Refer to https://github.com/BurntSushi/toml/issues/237, https://github.com/gcushen/hugo-academic/issues/852, and associated discussions linked from those pages.

A large number of users have updated Hugo to v0.53+ and are unable to build their sites due to the line break bug in the version of Go TOML which Hugo is compiled against.

Earlier versions of Hugo, such as Hugo v0.50, appear not to suffer from this bug. I suggest reverting to the last known working version of Go TOML.

Bug Keep Upstream

This is the version Hugo runs with: https://github.com/BurntSushi/toml/commit/a368813c5e64

Which is several years old. There is nothing to roll back in that library, and this needs to be fixed upstream.
