Build Failure: Configured to install gohugoio/hugo/hugo-extended

Support

  • Sitename: scottrlarson.netlify.app (I think thats it)
  • Site: scottRlarson dot com (wont let me add more than 6 links)
  • Build Error Log below
  • Asked netlify AI and it said to check my config and it said

Diagnosis

  • Relevant log lines: build runs custom command ‘hugo’ (line 8), mise attempts to install hugo-extended (line 13), the dependency install step fails (line 14) with a 404 when trying to fetch aqua:gohugoio/hugo/hugo-extended@0.40.3 (line 15). The release asset list shows only generic hugo artifacts (e.g. hugo_0.40.3_Linux-ARM64.tar.gz at line 29) and no “extended” variant for that platform, so the installer could not find the requested hugo-extended binary and returned 404 (see asset list lines 16–38).

Cause

  • The build tooling (mise/aqua) is configured to install gohugoio/hugo/hugo-extended@0.40.3, but that specific Hugo release does not provide a matching “extended” release asset for the build platform/architecture. mise/aqua requests an asset name that doesn’t exist, causing the 404 and failing dependency installation.

The solution was to add a variable or check my netlify.toml. I don’t appear to be using hugo extended.

[build]
  publish = "public"
  command = "hugo"

[build.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = "0.40.3"

v0.40 is insanely old. Please use a recent version.

I got some help from Hugo forums that resolve this issue.
