Error when building without pushing the templates folder

[T3kla]

Bug Report

Environment

Zola version: 0.17.2

Expected Behavior

When using zola build the site should build.

Current Behavior

It won't build the site.

Building site...
Error: Failed to build the site
Error: Error parsing templates from the /templates directory
Error: Reason: Io error while writing rendered value to output: NotFound
Error: Reason: The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 2)

(I have no idea how to add RUST_BACKTRACE=1 when running a zola command btw.)

Step to reproduce

• Create a new zola project
• Follow the GitHub Pages guide
• Don't have anything in the templates folder, so it never gets pushed to the repo
• Have the GitHub action fail

I believe it's already fixed in the next branch but i'll double check

[Keats]

Yep that seems to be fixed already

I've been seeing the same in CI builds.

Is there an ETA for a new release with that fix?

[Keats]

Soonish I think? I'd like to get some more PRs/bugs merged

I have the same problem but on Gitlab.
