HUGO_VERSION ignored no matter what I set

[firwithfeedback]

I’ve set HUGO_VERSION in both production and preview sets of environment variable to various versions like 0.80.0, 0.92.1, etc., but no matter what I set, Pages still uses 0.54 and ends up failing to compile my theme.

The log is as below

HUGO_VERSION

Would you mind providing a screenshot from your dev and prod config?

Env var config:

Cloudflare still installing old Hugo version:

Can you please remove the lowercase env var from both (dev and prod)? Then try again, btw trigger a manual rebuild for your site.

Remove the red ones, keep the green ones.

Thanks

I just got a hint from a colleague. Chances are, that your env vars do include some special chars, or invisible chars.

Please remove ALL env vars and add them by typing them in by hand, don’t copy. Then pls post a screenshot of your env vars again.

If it did not help please also provide your ...pages.dev link.

It’s okay now.

Probably should be noted in the documentation that copying (in my case, from the Pages docs) env vars can lead to issues.

It’s okay now.

Glad to hear!

Will forward this. They are actually already working on making this more clear to the users.
