When deploying a website from Github on netlify using mainroad hugo theme I receive the following message:
ERROR: ...template.go:477: template: theme/partials/footer.html:5: function "now" not defined

Hello, @fervilber

Looks like that you use very old Hugo version. Mainroad depends from Hugo 0.43 as a minimum version. It should work correctly in that (or newer) version.

Thanks, ... netlify uses 0.2 Hugo version, so it will be the problem.
A pity I like mainroad

It's not a problem. Please read Host on Netlify. I'm sure that Netlify have similar documentation.

Thanks a lot, my test at last works fine. I got it to work by creating a new variable in netlify: HUGO_VERSION = 0.53.
It was not a problem of the theme.
