FUNCTIONS FMT FUNCTIONS

fmt.Errorf

Log an ERROR from a template.

Syntax

fmt.Errorf FORMAT [INPUT]

Returns

string

Alias

errorf

The documentation for Go’s fmt package describes the structure and content of the format string.

The errorf function evaluates the format string, then prints the result to the ERROR log and fails the build.

{{ errorf "The %q shortcode requires a src parameter. See %s" .Name .Position }}

Use the erroridf function to allow optional suppression of specific errors.
