Social links in config.yaml return error upon trying to find icons

[Noodulz]

Hi, I set up osprey-delight on my end as a mod and tried running the website using hugo server. I got back a big error which seemed to lead back to the social media links in config.yaml not being able to find the icons in ./assets/%!s(<nil>) which in turn does not seem to exist either. Here is the full error message:

WARN  image path './assets/%!s(<nil>)' does not exist. please check the 'assets' directory.

I tried to resolve this by removing the links under Social: in config.yaml which seemed to resolve the errors and I was able to build my site and run it on localhost. Which leads me to believe there's something wrong or missing with the way the social media icons are being retrieved. Is there any current workaround this?

Hi Noodulz,

Looking at the logs of your comment it seems like the path C:\Users\jocel\Documents\hugo-portfolio\assets\%!s(<nil>)\linkedin.svg is wrong and it should instead try to get the SVG from the Hugo modules cache.

Looking at image path './assets/%!s(<nil>)' does not exist it also seems that there is an empty image "" path referenced somewhere in your source files.

Few questions for narrowing the issue down:

• Could you post the output of the hugo version command?
• Are you running Hugo as a snap package or in another isolated environment?
• Did you change the caches.modules directory?
• Does the reference site https://github.com/hugo-mods/hugo-mods.github.io work for you?

Unrelated to your issue (it seems): While trying to reproduce your issue, I found that the exampleSite of the theme is broken atm. It doesn't find the stackoverflow icon. Seems like Font Awesome changed the name of it in a recent update. Will fix this the coming days. #43

Hey @Noodulz, I could not reproduce the issue, so I've converted this to a discussion.
Please let me know if your issue is resolved already or if you have any more details as described in my previous comment.
