[BUG] template for shortcode "block" not found

[Nillecs]

I have checked all the prerequisites below and I'm yet experiencing a problem

• Read the README.md
• Have the extended version of Hugo installed
• Used the exampleSite's hugo.toml as a reference
• If and when requested, I'll link my repo to make it easier to debug.

⚠️ NOTE: If the issue isn't easy to reproduce and its author(s) decline to provide reasonable accommodation to debug, the issue will be closed.

@Nillecs, I couldn't reproduce the error shared. I got an unrelated error that was git related. Curious if you were installing the theme on a new site.

Hello I'm on the same environement as you @Nillecs
To fix this issue all I had to do was to download the snap version of hugo : https://snapcraft.io/hugo

sudo snap install hugo

But alternatively you can have the same outcome by downloading a more up-to date version of hugo cli.
Hope this helps !
