link: link resolving stopped working in certain configurations

[cagix]

Just upgraded to Relearn v6.1.0 and noticed Hugo's link resolution stopped working:

• Input: Link in Markdown source file: [Record-Klassen]({{% relref "records" %}})
• Output (expected): Relearn 6.0.0 and prior: <a href="<baseURL>/modern-java/records.html">Record-Klassen</a>
• Output (broken): Relearn 6.1.0: <a href="records">Record-Klassen</a>

Using Hugo v0.131.0 and uglyurls: true.

Hi Cagix is this going away if you use

useDefaultRelref = true

in your hugo.toml?

[cagix]

hmmm, tried it in combination with uglyurls: true and without uglyurls - the result is unchanged. hugo does not resolve the link given via relref shortcode anymore.

Just to be more precise: You have to put the option into your params section like so:

[params]
useDefaultRelref = true

[cagix]

oh my 🙈

can confirm, putting that useDefaultRelref in the params section does help. it seems to be working again :)

thx! 🙏

I should make the release notes entry clearer.

[cagix]

hmmm, i've checked the notes before upgrading and didn't find any breaking changes, at least not regarding my use case. perhaps this is just a side effect?

[McShelby]

I didn't assume that it will break an installation :-(

Happily I added this escape hatch.
