There are some breaking changes in this commit, see #11455.
Closes#11455Closes#11549
This fixes a set of bugs (see issue list) and it is also paying some technical debt accumulated over the years. We now build with Staticcheck enabled in the CI build.
The performance should be about the same as before for regular sized Hugo sites, but it should perform and scale much better to larger data sets, as objects that uses lots of memory (e.g. rendered Markdown, big JSON files read into maps with transform.Unmarshal etc.) will now get automatically garbage collected if needed. Performance on partial rebuilds when running the server in fast render mode should be the same, but the change detection should be much more accurate.
A list of the notable new features:
* A new dependency tracker that covers (almost) all of Hugo's API and is used to do fine grained partial rebuilds when running the server.
* A new and simpler tree document store which allows fast lookups and prefix-walking in all dimensions (e.g. language) concurrently.
* You can now configure an upper memory limit allowing for much larger data sets and/or running on lower specced PCs.
We have lifted the "no resources in sub folders" restriction for branch bundles (e.g. sections).
Memory Limit
* Hugos will, by default, set aside a quarter of the total system memory, but you can set this via the OS environment variable HUGO_MEMORYLIMIT (in gigabytes). This is backed by a partitioned LRU cache used throughout Hugo. A cache that gets dynamically resized in low memory situations, allowing Go's Garbage Collector to free the memory.
New Dependency Tracker: Hugo has had a rule based coarse grained approach to server rebuilds that has worked mostly pretty well, but there have been some surprises (e.g. stale content). This is now revamped with a new dependency tracker that can quickly calculate the delta given a changed resource (e.g. a content file, template, JS file etc.). This handles transitive relations, e.g. $page -> js.Build -> JS import, or $page1.Content -> render hook -> site.GetPage -> $page2.Title, or $page1.Content -> shortcode -> partial -> site.RegularPages -> $page2.Content -> shortcode ..., and should also handle changes to aggregated values (e.g. site.Lastmod) effectively.
This covers all of Hugo's API with 2 known exceptions (a list that may not be fully exhaustive):
Changes to files loaded with template func os.ReadFile may not be handled correctly. We recommend loading resources with resources.Get
Changes to Hugo objects (e.g. Page) passed in the template context to lang.Translate may not be detected correctly. We recommend having simple i18n templates without too much data context passed in other than simple types such as strings and numbers.
Note that the cachebuster configuration (when A changes then rebuild B) works well with the above, but we recommend that you revise that configuration, as it in most situations should not be needed. One example where it is still needed is with TailwindCSS and using changes to hugo_stats.json to trigger new CSS rebuilds.
Document Store: Previously, a little simplified, we split the document store (where we store pages and resources) in a tree per language. This worked pretty well, but the structure made some operations harder than they needed to be. We have now restructured it into one Radix tree for all languages. Internally the language is considered to be a dimension of that tree, and the tree can be viewed in all dimensions concurrently. This makes some operations re. language simpler (e.g. finding translations is just a slice range), but the idea is that it should also be relatively inexpensive to add more dimensions if needed (e.g. role).

Primary motivation is documentation, but it will also hopefully simplify the code.
Also,
* Lower case the default output format names; this is in line with the custom ones (map keys) and how
it's treated all the places. This avoids doing `stringds.EqualFold` everywhere.
Closes#10896Closes#10620
Make sure the context used for timeouts isn't created based on the incoming
context, as we have cases where this can cancel the context prematurely.
Fixes#10789
Note that this is backed by a LRU cache (which we soon shall see more usage of), so if you're a heavy user of cached partials it may be evicted and
refreshed if needed. But in most cases every partial is only invoked once.
This commit also adds a timeout (the global `timeout` config option) to make infinite recursion in partials
easier to reason about.
```

Closes#4086
Updates #9588
We cannot (also, it doesn't add any value) use that when the `clock` is set,
* To measure time (before that global is set)
* To compare file timestamps re cache eviction
Fixes#9868
This is a rollback of 0927cf739f
We cannot do that change until we either completes #9570 or possibly also use the new TryLock in GO 1.18.
Fixes#9588
Opens #4086
You can now create custom hook templates for code blocks, either one for all (`render-codeblock.html`) or for a given code language (e.g. `render-codeblock-go.html`).
We also used this new hook to add support for diagrams in Hugo:
* Goat (Go ASCII Tool) is built-in and enabled by default; just create a fenced code block with the language `goat` and start draw your Ascii diagrams.
* Another popular alternative for diagrams in Markdown, Mermaid (supported by GitHub), can also be implemented with a simple template. See the Hugo documentation for more information.
Updates #7765Closes#9538Fixes#9553Fixes#8520Fixes#6702Fixes#9558
The change in lock logic for `partialCached` in 0927cf739f was naive as it didn't consider cached partials calling other cached partials.
This changeset may look on the large side for this particular issue, but it pulls in part of a working branch, introducing `context.Context` in the template execution.
Note that the context is only partially implemented in this PR, but the upcoming use cases will, as one example, include having access to the top "dot" (e.g. `Page`) all the way down into partials and shortcodes etc.
The earlier benchmarks rerun against master:
```bash
name old time/op new time/op delta
IncludeCached-10 13.6ms ± 2% 13.8ms ± 1% ~ (p=0.343 n=4+4)
name old alloc/op new alloc/op delta
IncludeCached-10 5.30MB ± 0% 5.35MB ± 0% +0.96% (p=0.029 n=4+4)
name old allocs/op new allocs/op delta
IncludeCached-10 74.7k ± 0% 75.3k ± 0% +0.77% (p=0.029 n=4+4)
```
Fixes#9519
This commit revises the locking strategy for `partialCached`. We have added a benchmark that may be a little artificial, but it should at least show that we're not losing any performance over this:
```bash
name old time/op new time/op delta
IncludeCached-10 12.2ms ± 2% 11.3ms ± 1% -7.36% (p=0.029 n=4+4)
name old alloc/op new alloc/op delta
IncludeCached-10 7.17MB ± 0% 5.09MB ± 0% -29.00% (p=0.029 n=4+4)
name old allocs/op new allocs/op delta
IncludeCached-10 128k ± 1% 70k ± 0% -45.42% (p=0.029 n=4+4)
```
This commit also revises the template metrics hints logic a little, and add a test for it, which output is currently this:
```bash
cumulative average maximum cache percent cached total
duration duration duration potential cached count count template
---------- -------- -------- --------- ------- ------ ----- --------
163.334µs 163.334µs 163.334µs 0 0 0 1 index.html
23.749µs 5.937µs 19.916µs 25 50 2 4 partials/dynamic1.html
9.625µs 4.812µs 6.75µs 100 50 1 2 partials/static1.html
7.625µs 7.625µs 7.625µs 100 0 0 1 partials/static2.html
```
Some notes:
* The duration now includes the cached invocations (which should be very short)
* A cached template gets executed once before it gets cached, so the "percent cached" will never be 100.
Fixes#4086Fixes#9506
Partials with returns values are parsed, then inserted into a
partial return wrapper via wrapInPartialReturnWrapper in order
to assign the return value via *contextWrapper.Set. The
predefined wrapper template for partials inserts a partial's nodes
into a "with" template action in order to set dot to a
*contextWrapper within the partial. However, because "with" is
skipped if its argument is falsy, partials with falsy arguments
were not being evaluated.
This replaces the "with" action in the partial wrapper with a
"range" action that isn't skipped if .Arg is falsy.
Fixes#7528
When tracking for cache hints, track the same template name as the call
to MeasureSince in Execute. When referencing a partial "foo", the value
of `n` does not match `templ.Name()` (`partials/foo` versus
`partials/foo.html`). This was causing hints to go untracked since
there was no existing metric to append the hint to.
Fixes#8125
This more or less completes the simplification of the template handling code in Hugo started in v0.62.
The main motivation was to fix a long lasting issue about a crash in HTML content files without front matter.
But this commit also comes with a big functional improvement.
As we now have moved the base template evaluation to the build stage we now use the same lookup rules for `baseof` as for `list` etc. type of templates.
This means that in this simple example you can have a `baseof` template for the `blog` section without having to duplicate the others:
```
layouts
├── _default
│ ├── baseof.html
│ ├── list.html
│ └── single.html
└── blog
└── baseof.html
```
Also, when simplifying code, you often get rid of some double work, as shown in the "site building" benchmarks below.
These benchmarks looks suspiciously good, but I have repeated the below with ca. the same result. Compared to master:

Fixes#6716Fixes#6760Fixes#6768Fixes#6778
This commit also
* revises the change detection for templates used by content files in server mode.
* Adds a Page.RenderString method
Fixes#6545Fixes#4663Closes#6043
This is a big commit, but it deletes lots of code and simplifies a lot.
* Resolving the template funcs at execution time means we don't have to create template clones per site
* Having a custom map resolver means that we can remove the AST lower case transformation for the special lower case Params map
Not only is the above easier to reason about, it's also faster, especially if you have more than one language, as in the benchmark below:
```
name old time/op new time/op delta
SiteNew/Deep_content_tree-16 53.7ms ± 0% 48.1ms ± 2% -10.38% (p=0.029 n=4+4)
name old alloc/op new alloc/op delta
SiteNew/Deep_content_tree-16 41.0MB ± 0% 36.8MB ± 0% -10.26% (p=0.029 n=4+4)
name old allocs/op new allocs/op delta
SiteNew/Deep_content_tree-16 481k ± 0% 410k ± 0% -14.66% (p=0.029 n=4+4)
```
This should be even better if you also have lots of templates.
Closes#6594
This commit adds support for return values in partials.
This means that you can now do this and similar:
{{ $v := add . 42 }}
{{ return $v }}
Partials without a `return` statement will be rendered as before.
This works for both `partial` and `partialCached`.
Fixes#5783
The main item in this commit is showing of errors with a file context when running `hugo server`.
This can be turned off: `hugo server --disableBrowserError` (can also be set in `config.toml`).
But to get there, the error handling in Hugo needed a revision. There are some items left TODO for commits soon to follow, most notable errors in content and config files.
Fixes#5284Fixes#5290

Before this commit, you would have to use page bundles to do image processing etc. in Hugo.
This commit adds
* A new `/assets` top-level project or theme dir (configurable via `assetDir`)
* A new template func, `resources.Get` which can be used to "get a resource" that can be further processed.
This means that you can now do this in your templates (or shortcodes):
```bash
{{ $sunset := (resources.Get "images/sunset.jpg").Fill "300x200" }}
```
This also adds a new `extended` build tag that enables powerful SCSS/SASS support with source maps. To compile this from source, you will also need a C compiler installed:
```
HUGO_BUILD_TAGS=extended mage install
```
Note that you can use output of the SCSS processing later in a non-SCSSS-enabled Hugo.
The `SCSS` processor is a _Resource transformation step_ and it can be chained with the many others in a pipeline:
```bash
{{ $css := resources.Get "styles.scss" | resources.ToCSS | resources.PostCSS | resources.Minify | resources.Fingerprint }}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ $styles.RelPermalink }}" integrity="{{ $styles.Data.Digest }}" media="screen">
```
The transformation funcs above have aliases, so it can be shortened to:
```bash
{{ $css := resources.Get "styles.scss" | toCSS | postCSS | minify | fingerprint }}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ $styles.RelPermalink }}" integrity="{{ $styles.Data.Digest }}" media="screen">
```
A quick tip would be to avoid the fingerprinting part, and possibly also the not-superfast `postCSS` when you're doing development, as it allows Hugo to be smarter about the rebuilding.
Documentation will follow, but have a look at the demo repo in https://github.com/bep/hugo-sass-test
New functions to create `Resource` objects:
* `resources.Get` (see above)
* `resources.FromString`: Create a Resource from a string.
New `Resource` transformation funcs:
* `resources.ToCSS`: Compile `SCSS` or `SASS` into `CSS`.
* `resources.PostCSS`: Process your CSS with PostCSS. Config file support (project or theme or passed as an option).
* `resources.Minify`: Currently supports `css`, `js`, `json`, `html`, `svg`, `xml`.
* `resources.Fingerprint`: Creates a fingerprinted version of the given Resource with Subresource Integrity..
* `resources.Concat`: Concatenates a list of Resource objects. Think of this as a poor man's bundler.
* `resources.ExecuteAsTemplate`: Parses and executes the given Resource and data context (e.g. .Site) as a Go template.

This commit adds a "cache potential" column when running `hugo --templateMetrics --templateMetricsHints`.
This is only calculated when `--templateMetricsHints` is set, as these calculations has an negative effect on the other timings.
This gives a value for partials only, and is a number between 0-100 that indicates if `partial` can be replaced with `partialCached`.
100 means that all execution of the same partial resulted in the same output.
You should do some manual research before going "all cache".
As pointed out by the linter, some exported functions and types are
missing doc comments.
The linter warnings have been reduced from 194 to 116.
Not all missing comments have been added in this commit though.
