blogdown can't find updated version of Hugo

While attempting to build a theme with blogdown and Hugo, I encountered the following error: ERROR 2017/12/01 19:34:06 Current theme does not support Hugo version 0.19. Minimum version required is 0.2.

However, I do have an updated version (0.31.1) of Hugo:

system("hugo version")

Hugo Static Site Generator v0.31.1 darwin/amd64 BuildDate: 2017-12-01T19:36:01-08:00

And blogdown cannot find it:

> blogdown::hugo_version()
[1] ‘0.19’

Is this a path issue I need to fix on my machine?

Met the same problem and Yihui's solution works. To summarise: unlink('~/Library/Application Support/Hugo', recursive = TRUE) blogdown::install_hugo(force=TRUE) Then restart R.

After you blogdown::update_hugo(), you may need to restart your R session. If that does not fix your problem, run blogdown:::find_hugo(); if it returns a path under ~/Library/Application Support, delete the Hugo directory under it, e.g., unlink('~/Library/Application Support/Hugo', recursive = TRUE). Then blogdown::install_hugo().
