the local build succeeds via hugo --gc --minify
I can run hugo server --theme toha --watch locally and open updated website on localhost.

@Ksyu_l The crux of the error appears to be:

1:57:45 PM: Error: Error building site: failed to render pages: render of "home" failed: execute of template failed: template: index.html:49:8: executing "index.html" at <partial "sections/home.html" .>: error calling partial: "/opt/build/repo/themes/toha/layouts/partials/sections/home.html:43:16": execute of template failed: template: partials/sections/home.html:43:16: executing "partials/sections/home.html" at <$src.Resize>: nil pointer evaluating resource.Resource.Resize

Have you looked at other threads that reference exit-code-255?

Hello nathanmartin, yes, I have read some threads about exit-code-255: some of them referred to HUGO template building errors (which I also had and fixed), so I checked that the site is built locally. So I excluded the template errors before deploying, but the error from logs of the failed build tells failed to render pages: render of "home" failed.

I might have overlooked a similar thread that suggests the right solution under my conditions. Will greatly appreciate if you point me to the right one.

Unfortunately I can’t point you to a specific solution as I don’t use Hugo, so I’ve never hit that error.

I was just making sure you had seen the existing answers in case you could self-solve quickly.

Netlify’s support will have a better idea than I do!

Thanks nathanmartin.
It seems that I found the root cause of the problem described here: Nil pointer evaluating resource.Resource.Resize since version 0.57.0 · Issue #6442 · gohugoio/hugo · GitHub

It happens because of Hugo’s version and this problem didn’t occur before version 0.57.0. Apparently, I run the old Hugo version locally and use Hugo 0.84.3 in my netlify.toml, that is why I can build the site locally but not remotely.

Thanks so much for coming back and providing your solution.
