Gitlab CI fails to build hugo

I’ve been hosting a hugo blog on GitLab Pages.

The site was working fine all these days, but suddenly, it stopped working.

Running with gitlab-runner 11.1.0-rc2 (83bc9589)

$ hugo

It says hugo: not found.

The recent changes I made is nothing gigantic - just a minor change in the css stylesheet.

It was even working as recent as 3 days ago (when I made another minor change to the stylesheet).

Just for reference, my .gitlab-ci.yml is as follows. The file has been untouched, and since the whole thing was working earlier, I don’t think this file has anything to do with my current problem.

# This file is a template, and might need editing before it works on your project.
# Full project: https://gitlab.com/pages/hugo
image: dettmering/hugo-build

pages:
  script:
  - hugo
  artifacts:
    paths:
    - public
  only:
  - master

variables:
  GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: normal

test:
  script:
  - hugo
  except:
  - master

Any suggestions on what I can try? I’m new to CI.

I have managed to find the fix.

As per the instructions in the hugo docs here, I changed the image to monachus/hugo, and pushed to the repo.

It worked!

Here’s my full .gitlab-ci.yml .

# This file is a template, and might need editing before it works on your project.
# Full project: https://gitlab.com/pages/hugo
image: monachus/hugo
# ABOVE ^ LINE CHANGED

pages:

Hi,

the issue with my docker image dettmering/hugo-build has been fixed. My image contains the hugo-extended version that supports SASS parsing, which the monachus/hugo image currently doesn’t.
