Missing front matter results in an ugly panic message

[jplatte]

Bug Report

Trying to zola serve a site where one of the pages is missing frontmatter (in my case because I hadn't saved the file yet) results in an ugly panic message instead of an easy to read error message like most other error conditions.

Environment

Zola version: 0.13.0

Expected Behavior

An easier to read error message should be produced, and zola serve should not exit, instead retrying when the file changes.

Current Behavior

thread 'main' panicked at 'error deserialising page: Error { kind: Msg("Couldn\'t find front matter in `/home/jplatte/Projekte/blog.turbo.fish/content/proc-macro-intro.md`. Did you forget to add `+++` or `---`?"), source: None }', components/site/src/lib.rs:264:22

Step to reproduce

• Create a site with an empty .md file in content
• Run zola serve

Looks like there is an expect instead of a ?

@Keats Thanks for fixing this. I’ve been trying to use your “First Steps with Zola” tutorial on https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/overview/ and kept running into this problem. Am looking forward to seeing the release with the fix.
