Hugo 1.8 breaks header.html partial menu logic

[ethanmad]

Everything worked perfectly with Hugo versions <= 1.7, but the menu does not populate anymore.

Everything from hugo-theme-bootie-docs/layouts/partials/header.html line 36 to line 52 appears to now be broken under Hugo 1.8.

My theme is similar enough and experiences this problem, too. In my site's config.toml, I have defined noCategoryLink and have a mainMenu array, yet now I get only a 'Home' and a 'Categories' link in the menu. (I want all of the pages defined in the params.mainMenu to show up and I don't want Categories.)

If you build your site with the latest version of Hugo, you should also experience this

I'm not sure which change in Hugo 1.8 (changelog) caused this problem, but I'd be happy to work on this with you.

Thank you for your report.
Though I'm not sure about what causes this, I'll check it soon.

I confirmed this problem.

Hugo changed its behavior at v0.18 https://github.com/spf13/hugo/releases/tag/v0.18

Here they say:

All the Params configurations are now case insensitive #1129 #2590 #2615

And the document on gohugo.io says now:

All Params are only accessible using all lowercase characters.

So it seems that we have to change all variables in config.toml into lowercase.
I'll do this.

This seems like a bug in Hugo, doesn't it? The conflicting information and results is confusing, at least.

Oh, I misunderstood one thing.
bep fixed this problem by gohugoio/hugo#2717

And we can access by {{ .Site.Params.mainMenu }} instead of {{ .Site.Params "mainMenu" }} .

So we don't need to change config variables into lowercase. Just do above.
I'll do this.

Thanks,

I opened a topic in Hugo's discussion forum: https://discuss.gohugo.io/t/config-params-should-be-all-lowercase-or-not/5051/1 to ask a recommended way to solve this problem just in case.

I guess we found a bug in Hugo together! Thanks for doing the research and posting on the discussion forum.
