Broken future release notes date

[sharifsalah]

Setting the date for a release notes post in Docsy generates an error when running the hugo command. I think this is likely to be a common use-case for projects that are planning release notes or blog posts for a future date prior to launch.

I think this issue qualifies as a bug, so I wanted to log it to save others troubleshooting until a fix is identified and implemented.

Steps to reproduce

Follow the steps to clone and run the docsy-example:

git clone --recurse-submodules --depth 1 https://github.com/google/docsy-example.git
cd docsy-example
hugo server

Open the following file for editing:

content/en/blog/releases/in-depth-monoliths-detailed-spec.md

Change the date in the included release notes to be any date in the future:

date: 2020-03-20

If required, install any dependencies via npm.

Run the hugo command, which produces the following error for me:

Error: Error building site: failed to render pages: render of "section" failed: "<redacted>/docsy-example/themes/docsy/layouts/blog/list.html:7:11": execute of template failed: template: blog/list.html:7:11: executing "main" at <.Paginate>: error calling Paginate: cannot convert type hugolib.PagesGroup to Pages

This error disappears if there are also other release notes with dates in the past. The problem only seem to occur if I set the date to the future for the first release note. I haven't tested this issue for regular blog posts.

I have reproduced this issue on a server that have a different timezone of mine

I think this is now handled in Hugo: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/usage/#draft-future-and-expired-content

Please reopen if you're still seeing errors!
