hugo: Error: failed to prune cache "assets"

I’m using the following theme: https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng.git

And when I try to deploy it on Netlify, I face the following error.

> hugo --gc --minify
Total in 27 ms
Error: failed to prune cache "assets": remove /home/x/x/resources/_gen/assets/js/js/main.js_d11fe7b62c27961c87ecd0f2490357b9.content: no such file or directory

This also happens on my local machine.

For me force removing _gen folders before runnning hugo works fine, and build is ok on netlify

In my netlify.toml:

command = "find . -name _gen -exec rm -rf {} + ; hugo --gc --minify"

Hope this helps

Reasonable workaround. Thanks.

The Hermit theme has the same problem (as @kimfucious and I have reported here). @Track3

How can we do this by keeping your theme as a submodule?

I’m not sure but to give you more detail…

Terminal

File Tree

sidebar

There are two nested js and scss directories, Is it intentional?

Let me know if it still the same as #5673
