This is my repo:

https://github.com/Dylan-Padilla/website

I do not have a deep understanding of the log in netlify, sorry if the question is silly. Can someone help me solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!

The error says, index out of range. Check this out:

Hi @hrishikesh, thanks for your response. I checked that case but I am not sure it has what I need to fix my problem. Can you be more specific so I can try to solve my problem? I have tried some stuff like changing the Build command from the deploy settings. Also, I have changed the Environment variable and it has not worked. Any idea? thanks for your time!

Hi @Dylan-Padilla,

Are you using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Windows? If so, then the last comment from the post that Hrishikesh mentioned may help:

I have solved: if you use WSL on windows you must run docsy not on a mounted windows folder, you must use a Linux one.

Hi @Melvin, thanks for your response. I am sorry, I should have specified the operating system.

I am using OS Catalina 10.15.7 (Darwin Kernel Version 19.6.0: Tue Feb 15 21:39:11 PST 2022; root:xnu-6153.141.59~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64, lsb_release). Does this help?

As I mentioned before, I checked Hrishikesh’s suggestion but I do not think it has the solution for my problem (or maybe I am wrong and need a little bit of clarification to fix this). This error is weird to me because a month ago or so I could deploy the website with the exact same settings and I did not see any problems. This time all I did was include a link in the content/talk.md file of the website and that error came out all of a sudden. In addition, I did remove the link and the error kept showing up, so it should be something related to the settings on Netlify. What do you think?

9

:wave: hey there, @Dylan-Padilla

Thanks for following up. I see that you have shared a link to your repo, can you also share a link to your site as well?

10

Hi @hillary, thanks for your reply.

Sure, here is the link of my website: https://dylanpadilla.netlify.app/

One more important detail: I use R to render the website locally, using blogdown::serve_site(). After modifying my files locally, I just drag them to my Github repository and then Netlify automatically deploys the website. In this case, I can render/deploy the website locally using R and it works okay, but Netlify fails to deploy it. So, like I said before, I think this should be something related to the settings on Netlify. Any help?

11

Hi All, I just found a strange solution to the problem. The second line of the file content/talk/presentation-evo-2022.md is the date on which the page is supposed to publish the content of that file. If that date already passed, netlify would not deploy the website due to the following error: Building sites … ERROR 2022/07/19 05:41:35 Failed to render "section/talk.html": runtime error: index out of range. I randomly changed that date to 2022-07-19T10:50:00 and netlify deployed the website with no problems. I do not know if that makes sense, because if I want to update my website, now I need to modify the date of that file so netlify does not give me any error.

Here is a Twitter thread that made me play with that date to solve the problem: index out of range.

12

Hey there, @Dylan-Padilla :wave:

Thanks so much for reporting back with this solution! This will definitely be helpful for future explorers who encounter something similar.

Happy building!

Hello, I am new to Netlify and Hugo themes. I am having the Error message
10:28:43 PM: Command failed with exit code 255: hugo (Search results for '"non-zero exit code: 255"' - Netlify Support Forums)
with Error location In build.command from netlify.toml:
hugo

In my content/week/_index.md file I set the draft from draft: false to draft: true, so it would not show on the web page until I completed the content. I then changed back to draft: false, but nothing deploys nor does anything shows up on the webpage. any help would be appreciated on this matter. thank you.
