Table hook renderer not found when html output format has a zero weight and another output format has a non-zero weight

[gwagner]

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

$ hugo version
hugo v0.143.1+extended+withdeploy linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

When I try to build my hugo project, if there is a valid table in a markdown file, the default rss.xml template pukes at this line.

The error i receive is:

Error: error building site: render: failed to render pages: render of "<PATH>/content/author/_index.md" failed: template: _internal/_default/rss.xml:55:22: executing "_internal/_default/rss.xml" at <.Summary>: error calling Summary: table hook renderer not found

When I add the template locally to /themes//layouts/_default/rss.xml and comment out line 55 (linked above), the build works perfectly fine.

I am happy to provide any relevant config information, but I do not have anything special in the config. I am using the default Goldmark Markdown Renderer.

markup:
  goldmark:
    extensions:
      typographer: false
    renderer:
      unsafe: true

A bit more context, when I comment out the tables in my markdown, the default template works.

When modifying the template locally, it doesn't matter if I try to use .Content instead of .Summary or if I try to truncate either of them before the table. Each permutation still leads to the same error.

When following this: https://gohugo.io/render-hooks/tables/
I added file <PATH>/themes/<THEME>/layouts/_default/_markup/render-table.html using the example provided in the URL above. There is no change, and the error is still the same.

The only temp fix is to comment or remove line 55.

if there is a table in a valid table in a markdown file

I'm not sure what that means. It would be helpful if you could provide a reproducible example (e.g., a repository).

[gwagner]

@jmooring it is in a private repo, I will work up an example file with the failing condition in it and I will post it here.

I also corrected the typo in the original bug report above.

[jmooring]

I am unable to reproduce the problem as described:

git clone --single-branch -b hugo-github-issue-13351 https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-testing hugo-github-issue-13351
cd hugo-github-issue-13351
hugo server

So there's obviously something different about your site.

@gwagner Are you able to provide a reproducible example?

I'm experiencing the same thing, but mine is occurring in my json index templates trying to parse .Summary

still trying to pare down to a minimum reproducible set to see if I can isolate what's up.

There's certainly AN issue.... but it's cause isn't immediately obvious

Like the OP, I first attempted to add the unfindable template.

I tried adding it as <projroot>/layouts/_default/_markup/render-table.html

After reverting my uses of try in resources.getremote calls as try doesn't exist in earlier versions,

• 0.140.0
• 0.140.1
• 0.140.2
  all work as expected. The issue begins to manifest in my case at 0.141.x

I see no mention in the 141 run of the alternate language my site uses but I think it's dying before it gets to that.

I suspect that some breaking config restructuring or something occurred between 140 and 141 ...

sigh
will followup as I discover more

[jmooring]

As mentioned above, I am unable to reproduce this problem with the test repo above. It would helpful if someone were able to share a repository.

[wolfspyre]

https://gitlab.wolfspyre.io/wolfspyrelabs/open/blogsite does manifest the problem.
I have not yet narrowed the problem down to a distinct root cause tho, and I didn't want to misconvey an expectation that you attempt to do so for me.....

I'm sure there's a plethora of things I'm doing horrifically wrong here that could be related/adjacent .. :)

[jmooring]

The error is triggered when (a) the html output format has a zero weight, and (b) another output format has a non-zero weight.

I have not verified this, but I suspect this is unintentional side effect of #13263.

Failing test case:

func TestIssue13351(t *testing.T) {
	t.Parallel()

	files := `
-- hugo.toml --
disableKinds = ['page','rss','section','sitemap','taxonomy','term']
[outputs]
home = ['html','json']
[outputFormats.html]
weight = 1
[outputFormats.json]
weight = 2
-- content/_index.md --
---
title: home
---
a|b
:--|:--
1|2
-- layouts/index.html --
{{ .Content }}
-- layouts/index.json --
{{ .Content }}
`

	b := hugolib.Test(t, files)
	b.AssertFileContent("public/index.html", "<table>") // pass
	b.AssertFileContent("public/index.json", "<table>") // pass

	files = strings.ReplaceAll(files, "weight = 1", "weight = 0")

	b = hugolib.Test(t, files)
	b.AssertFileContent("public/index.html", "<table>") // fail: error calling Content: table hook renderer not found
	b.AssertFileContent("public/index.json", "<table>")
}

There may be variations on this, but the above was the simplest example I could contrive.

[wolfspyre]

Your knowledge of the innards of Hugo never cease to amaze me.

I appreciate your skill, and am sincerely appreciative for the energy you consistently contribute to the project..
Thank you.

[wolfspyre]

I can confirm that ensuring that all outputformats specified in the site config have a weight associated with them that is greater than 1 seems to resolve the issue I was experiencing.
