[MrHinsh]

Release 0.138.0 was deleted! gohugoio/hugo#13066

I'm guessing that we need to wait for the cache to expire and the Action to update to the least build of hugo that replaces 0.138.0.

[TheGroundZero]

Also note: my workflow contains hugo-version: latest yet version 0.138.0 is used instead of 0.139.0 (released ca. 30 minutes ago)

[MrHinsh]

@TheGroundZero its probably cached...

@peaceiris is there a way to invalidate the cache without picking a specific version?

[joobisb]

faced the same issue as well with the latest tag, this was fixed by using a specific version

hugo-version: '0.134.1'

[simonemargio]

I encountered the same issue when using hugo-version: latest.
As a temporary solution, I reverted to the previous week's version of Hugo, which I still have locally to manage my sites.

Specifically, using hugo-version: 0.139.4 has resolved the problem for now.

[cafkafk]

This release broke the latest version by not including assets https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/tag/v0.139.5, which was because of gohugoio/hugo#13147. Seems using 0.139.4 is recommended

[ALF-eV]

Using 0.139.4 is a manual solution for pipelines currently using latest we'll have to remember to revert later on. Not ideal. Is it hard to add the missing assets?

[MagicLegend]

Current problems with latest seems to be caused by gohugoio/hugo#13147. v0.139.5 does not include any assets, which the action is trying to fetch.

[AnimMouse]

Now fixed with v0.140.0 release.

[ElementRef]

runs-on: ubuntu-latest
hugo-version: '0.140.0'

Works Fine

[ElementRef]

runs-on: macos-latest
hugo-version: '0.128.0'
hugo-version: '0.139.4'
hugo-version: '0.140.0'
hugo-version: '0.140.1'

Does Not Work

[pwcwmy]

运行于：macos-latest
hugo 版本：'0.139.4'
hugo 版本：'0.140.0'
hugo 版本：'0.140.1'
同样的测试结果，建议在README暂时说明并后续提供修复

[pwcwmy]

虽然使用的是 MacBook，但在 GitHub Actions 工作流文件中指定 runs-on: ubuntu-latest 是完全可以的。GitHub Actions 的 runs-on 指令定义了作业将在哪种操作系统环境中运行，而不是指你在本地开发时使用的机器类型。
