Hugo deploy command, issues setting source file. Unable to find config.

[zbayoff]

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

0.63.1

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes. It also occurs at 0.59.0

Hi All,

I am trying to configure the hugo deploy command on my site. The content, layout and site files are under the root site/ directory. When running hugo deploy -s site I get the error:

Unable to locate config file or config directory. Perhaps you need to create a new site.

However, when I run hugo server -s site, all works and the server fires up, finding the correct config file.

It seems that the regular hugo global flags are not working with the hugo deploy command. If I cd into the site/ folder, the hugo deploy command will work. This is not ideal, however as I need to run the hugo deploy command from the root folder.

Also, I am not able to specificy the output folder for the hugo deploy command. I can't do hugo deploy -d dist for example, which is what the built folder is called in our case.

I've created a test repo: https://github.com/zbayoff/quickstart

Thank you.
