Lost access to `_internal/alias.html` template

[tastapod]

Using Hugo v0.146.3, the following page template no longer renders:

{{- template "_internal/alias.html" (dict "Permalink" .Params.target) -}}

I have tried removing the _internal prefix:

{{- template "alias.html" (dict "Permalink" .Params.target) -}}

and rendering with partial rather than template:

{{- partial "alias.html" (dict "Permalink" .Params.target) -}}

Both of these give the following error:

Error: error copying static files: html/template:redirect/single.html:1:13: no such template "_internal/alias.html"

The embedded alias.html template was never intended to be called. Why are you doing this?

@jmooring I had a similar problem but it's easy to fix by adding the template via define, maybe that should be added to the docs. A table with from to to would do. the pagination template would be another line.

But for your question have a look here for (one posible) source and use case: I'm using it to implement redirects to other sites.

{{- template "alias.html" (dict "Permalink" .Params.target) -}}

It still works for me like this (as described here) with v0.146.3+extended+withdeploy.

I'm also using it for these redirects as described on https://dannorth.net/hugo-redirects/ or https://uxg.ch/block/2024/02/25/goto/ (german).

Sorry folks, as you were. User error.

Thanks @tohn, your reply made me go back and re-check my setup. My go.mod wasn't redirecting to the local theme checkout.

It does work as described post-template overhaul (thanks, @bep and @jmooring). Long may it continue!

Apologies for the false alarm.
