Error while decoding file /opt/build/repo/netlify.toml

I need advice to debug deployment of initial Hugo site from Github to Netlify.
Error while decoding file /opt/build/repo/netlify.toml: Near line 3 (last key parsed ‘build’): expected a top-level item to end with a newline, comment, or EOF, but got ‘[’ instead

Can you paste the contents of your netlify.toml file. I’m somewhat new to netlify but I’ve been using the netlify.toml file without errors.

[build]
publish = “public”
command = “hugo --gc --minify”[context.production.environment]
HUGO_VERSION = “0.61.0”
HUGO_ENV = “production”
HUGO_ENABLEGITINFO = “true”[context.split1]
command = “hugo --gc --minify --enableGitInfo”[context.split1.environment]
HUGO_VERSION = “0.61.0”
HUGO_ENV = “production”[context.deploy-preview]
command = “hugo --gc --minify --buildFuture -b $DEPLOY_PRIME_URL”[context.deploy-preview.environment]
HUGO_VERSION = “0.61.0”[context.branch-deploy]
command = “hugo --gc --minify -b $DEPLOY_PRIME_URL”[context.branch-deploy.environment]
HUGO_VERSION = “0.61.0”[context.next.environment]
HUGO_ENABLEGITINFO = “true”

Thanks in advance,

Hi, @maxmoore, and welcome to our Netlify community site.

This is what I see posted for the netlify.toml file:

[build]
publish = “public”
command = “hugo --gc --minify”[context.production.environment]
HUGO_VERSION = “0.61.0”
HUGO_ENV = “production”
HUGO_ENABLEGITINFO = “true”[context.split1]
command = “hugo --gc --minify --enableGitInfo”[context.split1.environment]
HUGO_VERSION = “0.61.0”
HUGO_ENV = “production”[context.deploy-preview]
command = “hugo --gc --minify --buildFuture -b $DEPLOY_PRIME_URL”[context.deploy-preview.environment]
HUGO_VERSION = “0.61.0”[context.branch-deploy]
command = “hugo --gc --minify -b $DEPLOY_PRIME_URL”[context.branch-deploy.environment]
HUGO_VERSION = “0.61.0”[context.next.environment]
HUGO_ENABLEGITINFO = “true”

This syntax is incorrect above. This might work better:

[build]
  publish = “public”
  command = “hugo --gc --minify”

[context.production.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = “0.61.0”
  HUGO_ENV = “production”
  HUGO_ENABLEGITINFO = “true”

[context.split1]
  command = “hugo --gc --minify --enableGitInfo”

[context.split1.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = “0.61.0”
  HUGO_ENV = “production”

[context.deploy-preview]
  command = “hugo --gc --minify --buildFuture -b $DEPLOY_PRIME_URL”

[context.deploy-preview.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = “0.61.0”

[context.branch-deploy]
  command = “hugo --gc --minify -b $DEPLOY_PRIME_URL”

[context.branch-deploy.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = “0.61.0”

[context.next.environment]
  HUGO_ENABLEGITINFO = “true”

Would you be willing to test those changes above (if it still isn’t working)?

Thanks, I used your code but Netlify returned the following error:

Any other suggestions,

Thanks heaps for your assistance.

That sounds like an issue of " vs ”, possibly? I’d replace any of the curved ones with the straight ones and try it again.
