Blogdown serve_site, page could not load

[congwang]

I have some problems creating my website using the theme hugo-apero. When I change something in config.toml the page could not load, with error:

Failed to reload config: "D:\ComputationalTool\RStudy\congwang\hugo_apero\config.toml:10:42": unmarshal failed: toml: invalid character in comment .

Even if I undo the changes and return to the original, there will be the same error. I could not reload the page anyhow.

Here is the screenshot:

Here are some supplements for the problem, when I call the package "blogdown", here is the warning message:
Warning message:
In read_utf8(file) :
The file config.toml is not encoded in UTF-8. These lines contain invalid UTF-8 characters: 10

So I think maybe that is the problem, but I still don't know how to solve it.

The file config.toml is not encoded in UTF-8. These lines contain invalid UTF-8 characters: 10

So I think maybe that is the problem, but I still don't know how to solve it.

It seems the special character you have on line 10 at the end in the comment is causing the issue.
Can you try remove the comment at the end of line 10 and see if that helps ?

Thanks cderv, it is very silly, the problem is solved by removing the strange comment in line 10, it seems like R put it there automatically.

The line comes from

hugo-apero/hugo-apero/blob/main/exampleSite/config.toml#L10

and it seems the character got change somehow on your system to another one.

What happens is that during the installation by blogdown the file got downloaded / copied to your installation path, and somehow transformed. (maybe your are not using UTF-8... )

Maybe it is an issue with blogdown too...

So maybe you won't be the only one with the same issue.

Would you like to report it on the repo Issues · hugo-apero/hugo-apero · GitHub ?

You can tag me @cderv and copy some of the above.

Thanks

In fact I see you already have:

Blogdown serve_site, page could not load, after changing in config.toml

FAQ: Is it OK if I cross-post?

Posting the same question both here and on other sites Posting the same question to multiple forums at the same time is often considered impolite. We don't completely ban such cross-posting, but we ask you to think hard before you do it and to follow some rules. Cross-post sparingly Rather than post the same thing here and elsewhere from the get-go, post in one place at a time. Let enough time go by (think days, not hours) before you take your question somewhere else. Sometimes people at another site may suggest you post here if your question doesn't fit within the scope of the other site. Always link to your other posts, and update everywhere with any solution…
