Problem with 'index' layout on nanoc 2.1.2

[Rob Emerson]

Hi,

I'm a little behind the curve, I know, but today I just tried to move my
version of nanoc up to the latest (2.1.2).

I'm having a small problem my 'index' layout which causes a problem for
both 'nanoc update' and running the autocompiler. When I ran the update,
I got:

Message:
Expected 1 content file in layouts/index but found 2

I get the same error trying to run the autocompiler (returned as HTTP 500).

I have three layouts on my nanoc site like this:

rob -- ls -R
.:
article default index

./article:
article.erb article.yaml

./default:
default.erb default.yaml

./index:
index.erb index.yaml

The 'article' and 'default' layouts all have two files so what's special
about the 'index' layout?

If I rename the 'index' layout to something else e.g. 'front' it's all
fine. Some special name here?

Not sure if this a bug or what I'm otherwise doing wrong here. It's not
a big deal as I can work around it but any advice much appreciated.

Many thanks!

Rob

Hi Rob,

"index" has indeed a rather special meaning (for backward
compatibility reasons). The easiest solution would be to simply not
use the name "index" (use "home", "front", ... instead). You may also
want to avoid a layout named "meta" too, just in case. I'll fix this
ASAP. Hope this helps!

Regards,

Denis

Excellent - many thanks Denis!

I did exactly that - renamed to 'front' and it works perfectly.

Cheers,

Rob
