I had this error while minified the blog using the hugo --minify
command:
The full message for me was:
Error: Error building site: failed to render pages: JSON parse error: unexpected character ',' on line 6 and column 5
I fixed this error by restructuring under the content folder. My structure was like this:
content
>page
about.md
products.md
search.md
>post
archives.md
It depends on the template of how your structure should be implemented. The following structure helped me to fix this error:
content
>page
about.md
search.md
archives.md
products.md
In other words, I removed my custom page and leave only the default pages under the page
directory.
