EOF Error

Trouble: hugo new Aborts with EOF error

I’m running into an issue where I cannot get archetypes working, when running hugo new showcase/test.md, for example, I see an EOF error thrown by Hugo.

When I run Hugo with v0.12 via hugo new -v showcase/test.md, I see the following output:

INFO: 2015/01/04 Using config file: /private/tmp/test/config.toml
INFO: 2015/01/04 attempting to create  showcase/test.md of showcase
INFO: 2015/01/04 curpath: /private/tmp/test/archetypes/showcase.md
ERROR: 2015/01/04 EOF

Is there something that I am blatantly missing?

Solution: Carriage Returns

The solution is to add a final newline (i.e., EOL) to the end of your default.md archetype file of your theme. You can do this by adding a carriage return after the closing +++ or --- of your TOML or YAML front matter, respectively.
