Still on node20 - blocked on upstream releases:
peaceiris/actions-hugo@v3 - the maintainer merged a node24 upgrade to main but hasn't cut a new release tag yet; nothing to do until v3.1.0 drops
HugoBlox/gh-action-updater@v2 - needs update
Hugo v0.161's css.TailwindCSS reads node_modules/.bin/tailwindcss and
expects either a symlink or a Node-shebang script. pnpm's default
isolated linker creates shell wrappers (#!/bin/sh with NODE_PATH
manipulation), which Hugo rejects with "binary tailwindcss is not a
Node.js script". With node-linker=hoisted, pnpm flattens node_modules
and creates plain symlinks for Node-shebang bins — same shape npm
produces, which Hugo handles via its symlink branch in resolveNodeBin
(common/hexec/exec.go).
- Add .npmrc with node-linker=hoisted to all 9 templates and test/
- Verified end-to-end: academic-cv builds cleanly against published
modules/blox with Hugo v0.161.1
- Kit root and modules/blox keep pnpm's isolated linker for monorepo
The shipped per-template GitHub Actions build workflow still pinned
Node 20 and fell back to Hugo 0.154.5 on missing config - both
incompatible with Hugo v0.161's css.TailwindCSS Node permission sandbox
(Node >= 22, npm @tailwindcss/cli required). Sites upgraded via
`hugoblox upgrade` (which only touches go.mod) hit this immediately.
- Bump NODE_VERSION 20 -> 22 in all 9 templates' .github/workflows/build.yml
- Bump fallback DEFAULT_VERSION 0.154.5 -> 0.161.0 to match the framework's
new module.hugoVersion.min
- Add a "Verify Tailwind CSS dependency" step that fails fast with an
actionable ::error message if @tailwindcss/cli is not resolvable,
replacing Hugo's cryptic "binary tailwindcss is not a Node.js script"
Hugo v0.161 dropped the standalone tailwindcss binary; @tailwindcss/cli
npm package is now the only accepted transformer, invoked via
`node --permission` (Node >= 22 required).
- Bump module.hugoVersion.min to 0.161.0 in modules/blox/hugo.yaml;
add comment explaining why security.node.permissions is left to
Hugo's built-in defaults
- Bump hugo_version / HUGO_VERSION / devcontainer image tag to 0.161.0
across all 9 templates (hugoblox.yaml, netlify.toml, devcontainer.json)
- Bump devcontainer base image Node 20 → 22 and default Hugo version
- Add scripts/check-template-deps.mjs to assert every template declares
tailwindcss + @tailwindcss/cli; wire as pnpm check:template-deps
- Harden CI: new audit-template-deps job gates all build jobs; add
`require.resolve('@tailwindcss/cli/package.json')` check after each
pnpm install to catch the exact "binary is not a Node.js script" failure
