NUR search site has stopped updating again

[Rhys-T]

The gh-pages branch (and thus the NUR site) hasn't updated for a couple of days now. Looking through the workflow runs back on the main NUR repo that handle rebuilding this one, it looks like a deprecation warning from Hugo has changed into an error, probably as a result of Nixpkgs updating Hugo from 0.135.0 to 0.136.4.

Before (example):

WARN  deprecated: .Site.IsMultiLingual was deprecated in Hugo v0.124.0 and will be removed in a future release. Use hugo.IsMultilingual instead.

(continues to the actual pushing and publishing steps)

After (example):

ERROR deprecated: .Site.IsMultiLingual was deprecated in Hugo v0.124.0 and will be removed in Hugo 0.137.0. Use hugo.IsMultilingual instead.

Error: error building site: logged 1 error(s)
make: *** [Makefile:3: all] Error 1

This is the only reference to .Site.IsMultiLingual I can find in nur-search's code. I think it just needs to be changed to hugo.IsMultilingual (with no leading ., and a lowercase l), but I can't reproduce the error locally to confirm this fix - it always builds correctly for me, even when using 0.136.4.

Correction: There are references to .Site.IsMultiLingual in the docDock theme it's using too. (I had missed pulling in submodules somehow. With those in place, I'm getting the same deprecation errors locally.)

[Rhys-T]

These are the files that mention .Site.IsMultiLingual:

• layouts/partials/nur/body-beforecontent.html
• themes/docdock/layouts/partials/flex/body-beforecontent.html
• themes/docdock/layouts/partials/language-selector.html
• themes/docdock/layouts/partials/original/body-beforecontent.html

If I do rg -Fl0 .Site.IsMultiLingual | xargs -0 -n 1 sed -E -i 's@\.Site\[email protected]@g' to edit them all, the site seems to build correctly.

So far the options I see are:

• Fork the theme, and patch those files
• Embed a copy of the theme, and patch those files
• Patch the one from this repo, and add a command to either the Makefile or update-nur-search.sh that patches the files in the theme after checkout
• Pin an older version of Hugo somehow (possibly by pinning the entire Nixpkgs?)
• Edit: Or get that change upstreamed, but that repo hasn't been updated in several years, so…
