title: Template debugging
description: You can use Go templates' `printf` function to debug your Hugo templates. These snippets provide a quick and easy visualization of the variables available to you in different contexts.

Here are some snippets you can add to your template to answer some common questions.
These snippets use the `printf` function available in all Go templates. This function is an alias to the Go function, [fmt.Printf](https://pkg.go.dev/fmt).
## What variables are available in this context?
You can use the template syntax, `$.`, to get the top-level template context from anywhere in your template. This will print out all the values under, `.Site`.
```go-html-template
{{ printf "%#v" $.Site }}
```
This will print out the value of `.Permalink`:
```go-html-template
{{ printf "%#v" .Permalink }}
```
This will print out a list of all the variables scoped to the current context
(`.`, aka ["the dot"][tempintro]).
```go-html-template
{{ printf "%#v" . }}
```
When developing a [homepage], what does one of the pages you're looping through look like?
```go-html-template
{{ range .Pages }}
{{/* The context, ".", is now each one of the pages as it goes through the loop */}}
{{ printf "%#v" . }}
{{ end }}
```
In some cases it might be more helpful to use the following snippet on the current context to get a pretty printed view of what you're able to work with:
```go-html-template
<pre>{{ . | jsonify (dict "indent" " ") }}</pre>
```
Note that Hugo will throw an error if you attempt to use this construct to display context that includes a page collection (e.g., the context passed to home, section, taxonomy, and term templates).
## Why am I showing no defined variables?
Check that you are passing variables in the `partial` function:
```go-html-template
{{ partial "header.html" }}
```
This example will render the header partial, but the header partial will not have access to any contextual variables. You need to pass variables explicitly. For example, note the addition of ["the dot"][tempintro].
```go-html-template
{{ partial "header.html" . }}
```
The dot (`.`) is considered fundamental to understanding Hugo templating. For more information, see [Introduction to Hugo Templating][tempintro].

keywords: []

docs:
parent: troubleshooting
weight: 20
weight: 20
---
There are several conditions that can produce errors in your published site which are not detected during the build. Run this audit before your final build.
{{< code copy=true >}}
HUGO_MINIFY_TDEWOLFF_HTML_KEEPCOMMENTS=true HUGO_ENABLEMISSINGTRANSLATIONPLACEHOLDERS=true hugo && grep -inorE "<\!-- raw HTML omitted -->|ZgotmplZ|\[i18n\]|\(<nil>\)|(&lt;nil&gt;)|hahahugo" public/
{{< /code >}}
_Tested with GNU Bash 5.1 and GNU grep 3.7._
## Example output
![site audit terminal output](screen-capture.png)
## Explanation
### Environment variables
`HUGO_MINIFY_TDEWOLFF_HTML_KEEPCOMMENTS=true`
: Retain HTML comments even if minification is enabled. This takes precedence over `minify.tdewolff.html.keepComments` in the site configuration. If you minify without keeping HTML comments when performing this audit, you will not be able to detect when raw HTML has been omitted.
`HUGO_ENABLEMISSINGTRANSLATIONPLACEHOLDERS=true`
: Show a placeholder instead of the default value or an empty string if a translation is missing. This takes precedence over `enableMissingTranslationPlaceholders` in the site configuration.
### Grep options
`-i, --ignore-case`
: Ignore case distinctions in patterns and input data, so that characters that differ only in case match each other.
`-n, --line-number`
: Prefix each line of output with the 1-based line number within its input file.
`-o, --only-matching`
: Print only the matched (non-empty) parts of a matching line, with each such part on a separate output line.
`-r, --recursive`
: Read all files under each directory, recursively, following symbolic links only if they are on the command line.
`-E, --extended-regexp`
: Interpret PATTERNS as extended regular expressions.
### Patterns
`<!-- raw HTML omitted -->`
: By default, Hugo strips raw HTML from your markdown prior to rendering, and leaves this HTML comment in its place.
`ZgotmplZ`
: ZgotmplZ is a special value that indicates that unsafe content reached a CSS or URL context at runtime. For more information see. See&nbsp;[details].
[details]: https://pkg.go.dev/html/template
`[i18n]`
: This is the placeholder produced instead of the default value or an empty string if a translation is missing.
`(<nil>)`
: This string will appear in the rendered HTML when passing a nil value to the `printf` function.
`(&lt;nil&gt;)`
: Same as above when the value returned from the `printf` function has not been passed through `safeHTML`.
`HAHAHUGO`
: Under certain conditions a rendered shortcode may include all or a portion of the string H&#xfeff;AHAHUGOSHORTCODE in either uppercase or lowercase. This is difficult to detect in all circumstances because, but a case-insensitive search of the output for `HAHAHUGO` is likely to catch the majority of cases without producing false positives.

## Template metrics
Hugo is a very fast static site generator, but it is possible to write
inefficient templates. Hugo's _template metrics_ feature is extremely helpful
in pinpointing which templates are executed most often and how long those
executions take **in terms of CPU time**.
| Metric Name | Description |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| cumulative duration | The cumulative time spent executing a given template. |
| average duration | The average time spent executing a given template. |
| maximum duration | The maximum time a single execution took for a given template. |
| count | The number of times a template was executed. |
| template | The template name. |

{{% note %}}
**A note about parallelism**
Hugo builds pages in parallel where multiple pages are generated
simultaneously. Because of this parallelism, the sum of "cumulative duration"
values is usually greater than the actual time it takes to build a site.
{{% /note %}}
## Cached partials
Some `partial` templates such as sidebars or menus are executed many times
during a site build. Depending on the content within the `partial` template and
the desired output, the template may benefit from caching to reduce the number
of executions. The [`partialCached`][partialcached] template function provides
caching capabilities for `partial` templates.
{{% note %}}
Note that you can create cached variants of each `partial` by passing additional
parameters to `partialCached` beyond the initial context. See the
`partialCached` documentation for more details.

When a project _deprecates_ something, they are telling its users:
1. Don't use Thing One anymore.
2. Use Thing Two instead.
3. We're going to remove Thing One at some point in the future.
[article]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprecation
Think of deprecation as a statement of intent. This Wikipedia [article] describes common reasons for deprecation:
- The feature has been replaced by a more powerful alternative.
- The feature contains a design flaw.
- The feature is considered extraneous, and will be removed in the future in order to simplify the system as a whole.
- A future version of the software will make major structural changes, making it impossible or impractical to support older features.
- Standardization or increased consistency in naming.
- A feature that once was available only independently is now combined with its co-feature.
After the project team deprecates something in code, Hugo will:
1. Log an INFO message for 6 minor releases[^1]
2. Log a WARN message for another 6 minor releases
3. Log an ERROR message and fail the build thereafter
To see the INFO messages, you must use the `--logLevel` command line flag:
```text
hugo --logLevel info
```
To limit the output to deprecation notices:
```text
hugo --logLevel info | grep deprecate
```
Run the above command every time you upgrade Hugo.
[^1]: For example, v0.1.1 => v0.2.0 is a minor release.

{{% note %}} Hugos [forum] is an active community of users and developers who answer questions, share knowledge, and provide examples. A quick search of over 20,000 topics will often answer your question. Please be sure to read about [requesting help] before asking your first question.
The answers/solutions presented below are short, and may not be enough to solve your problem. Visit [Hugo Discourse](https://discourse.gohugo.io/) and use the search. It that does not help, start a new topic and ask your questions.
{{% /note %}}
## I can't see my content These are just a few of the questions most frequently asked by new users.
Is your Markdown file [in draft mode](/content-management/front-matter/#front-matter-variables)? When testing, run `hugo server` with the `-D` or `--buildDrafts` [switch](/getting-started/usage/#draft-future-and-expired-content). Why do I see "Page Not Found" when visiting the home page?
: In the content/_index.md file:
Is your Markdown file part of a [leaf bundle](/content-management/page-bundles/)? If there is an `index.md` file in the same or any parent directory then other Markdown files will not be rendered as individual pages. - Is `draft` set to `true`?
- Is the `date` in the future?
- Is the `publishDate` in the future?
- Is the `expiryDate` in the past?
## Can I set configuration variables via OS environment? : If the answer to any of these questions is yes, either change the field values, or use one of these command line flags: `--buildDrafts`, `--buildFuture`, or `--buildExpired`.
Yes you can! See [Configure with Environment Variables](/getting-started/configuration/#configure-with-environment-variables). Why is a given section not published?
: In the content/section/_index.md file:
## How do I schedule posts? - Is `draft` set to `true`?
- Is the `date` in the future?
- Is the `publishDate` in the future?
- Is the `expiryDate` in the past?
1. Set `publishDate` in the page [front matter](/content-management/front-matter/) to a datetime in the future. If you want the creation and publication datetime to be the same, it's also sufficient to only set `date`[^date-hierarchy]. : If the answer to any of these questions is yes, either change the field values, or use one of these command line flags: `--buildDrafts`, `--buildFuture`, or `--buildExpired`.
2. Build and publish at intervals.
How to automate the "publish at intervals" part depends on your situation: Why is a given page not published?
: In the content/section/page.md file, or in the content/section/page/index.md file:
* If you deploy from your own PC/server, you can automate with [Cron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron) or similar. - Is `draft` set to `true`?
* If your site is hosted on a service similar to [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/) you can: - Is the `date` in the future?
* Use a service such as [ifttt](https://ifttt.com/date_and_time) to schedule the updates; or - Is the `publishDate` in the future?
* Set up a deploy hook which you can run with a cron service to deploy your site at intervals, such as [cron-job.org](https://cron-job.org/) (both Netlify and Cloudflare Pages support deploy hooks) - Is the `expiryDate` in the past?
Also see this Twitter thread: : If the answer to any of these questions is yes, either change the field values, or use one of these command line flags: `--buildDrafts`, `--buildFuture`, or `--buildExpired`.
{{< tweet user="ChrisShort" id="962380712027590657" >}} Why can't I see any of a page's descendants?
: You may have an index.md file (leaf bundle) instead of an _index.md file (branch bundle). See&nbsp;[details](/content-management/page-bundles/).
[^date-hierarchy]: See [Configure Dates](/getting-started/configuration/#configure-dates) for the order in which the different date variables are complemented by each other when not explicitly set. Why is my partial template not rendering as expected?
: You may have neglected to pass the required [context] when calling the partial. For example:
## Can I use the latest Hugo version on Netlify? ```go-html-template
{{/* incorrect */}}
{{ partial "_internal/pagination.html" }}
[Yes you can](/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-netlify/#configure-hugo-version-in-netlify)!. {{/* correct */}}
{{ partial "_internal/pagination.html" . }}
## I get "... this feature is not available in your current Hugo version"
If you process `SCSS` or `Sass` to `CSS` in your Hugo project with `libsass` as the transpiler or if you convert images to the `webp` format, you need the Hugo `extended` version, or else you may see an error message similar to the below:
```sh
error: failed to transform resource: TOCSS: failed to transform "scss/main.scss" (text/x-scss): this feature is not available in your current Hugo version
``` ```
We release two set of binaries for technical reasons. The extended version is not what you get by default for some installation methods. On the [release page](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases), look for archives with `extended` in the name. To build `hugo-extended`, use `go install --tags extended` In a template, what's the difference between `:=` and `=` when assigning values to variables?
: Use `:=` to initialize a variable, and use `=` to assign a value to a variable that has been previously initialized. See&nbsp;[details](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template#hdr-Variables).
To confirm, run `hugo version` and look for the word `extended`. When I paginate a list page, why is the page collection not filtered as specified?
: You are probably invoking the [`Paginate`] or [`Paginator`] method more than once on the same page. See&nbsp;[details](/templates/pagination/#list-paginator-pages).
Can I use environment variables to control configuration?
: Yes. See&nbsp;[details](/getting-started/configuration/#configure-with-environment-variables).
Why am I seeing inconsistent output from one build to the next?
: The most common causes are page collisions (publishing two pages to the same path) and the effects of concurrency. Use the `--printPathWarnings` command line flag to check for page collisions, and create a topic on the [forum] if you suspect concurrency problems.

Use the [`jsonify`] function to inspect a data structure:
```go-html-template
<pre>{{ jsonify (dict "indent" " ") .Params }}</pre>
```
```text
{
"date": "2023-11-10T15:10:42-08:00",
"draft": false,
"iscjklanguage": false,
"lastmod": "2023-11-10T15:10:42-08:00",
"publishdate": "2023-11-10T15:10:42-08:00",
"tags": [
"foo",
"bar"
],
"title": "My first post"
}
```
{{% note %}}
Hugo will throw an error if you attempt to use the construct above to display context that includes a page collection. For example, in a home page template, this will fail:
`{{ jsonify (dict "indent" " ") . }}`
{{% /note %}}
Use the [`debug.Dump`] function to inspect data types:
```go-html-template
<pre>{{ debug.Dump .Params }}</pre>
```
```text
maps.Params{
"date": time.Time{},
"draft": false,
"iscjklanguage": false,
"lastmod": time.Time{},
"publishdate": time.Time{},
"tags": []string{
"foo",
"bar",
},
"title": "My first post",
}
```
Use the [`printf`] function (render) or [`warnf`] function (log to console) to inspect simple data structures. The layout string below displays both value and data type.
```go-html-template
{{ $value := 42 }}
{{ printf "%[1]v (%[1]T)" $value }} → 42 (int)
```

## Command line
Enable console logging with the `--logLevel` command line flag.
Hugo has four logging levels:
error
: Display error messages only.
```sh
hugo --logLevel error
```
warn
: Display warning and error messages.
```sh
hugo --logLevel warn
```
info
: Display information, warning, and error messages.
```sh
hugo --logLevel info
```
debug
: Display debug, information, warning, and error messages.
```sh
hugo --logLevel debug
```
{{% note %}}
If you do not specify a logging level with the `--logLevel` flag, warnings and errors are always displayed.
{{% /note %}}
## Template functions
You can also use template functions to print warnings or errors to the console. These functions are typically used to report data validation errors, missing files, etc.

## Template metrics
Hugo is fast, but inefficient templates impede performance. Enable template metrics to determine which templates take the most time, and to identify caching opportunties:
```sh
hugo --templateMetrics --templateMetricsHints
```

From left to right, the columns represent:
cumulative duration

average duration

maximum duration

cache potential
: Displayed as a percentage, any partial template with a 100% cache potential should be called with the [`partialCached`] function instead of the [`partial`] function. See the [caching](#caching) section below.
percent cached
: The number of times the rendered templated was cached divided by the number of times the template was executed.
cached count
: The number of times the rendered templated was cached.
total count
: The number of times the template was executed.
template
: The path to the template, relative to the layouts directory.
[`partial`]: /functions/partials/include
[`partialCached`]: /functions/partials/includecached
{{% note %}}
Hugo builds pages in parallel where multiple pages are generated simultaneously. Because of this parallelism, the sum of "cumulative duration" values is usually greater than the actual time it takes to build a site.

## Caching
Some partial templates such as sidebars or menus are executed many times during a site build. Depending on the content within the partial template and the desired output, the template may benefit from caching to reduce the number of executions.
