WARNING: This method should be done only with a public key for testing purposes. The public key WILL show up in the client-end code.

Let’s say you want to test your Hugo site with SnipCart in a test development environment.

Here is how you can do that.

Go to each link and follow the instructions for installation if you have not done so already.

HUGO GitHub Actions Deployment Failure with Dart-Sass

Fri, 29 May 2026 14:44:13 -0700

ISSUE: Hugo Site GitHub Actions Deployment Failure: `sudo snap install dart-sass`

Run sudo snap install dart-sass
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Download snap "snapd" (26865) from channel "stable" (Get "https://api.snapcraft.io/api/v1/snaps/download/PMrrV4ml8uWuEUDBT8dSGnKUYbevVhc4_26865.snap": read tcp 10.1.0.253:40816->185.125.188.59:443: read: connection reset by peer)

Installing Dart Sass via GitHub Actions through snap install results in a connection reset by peer error (shown above).

This error occurred after making a change to my GitHub workflows file (in this case, hugo.yaml) in the root of my Hugo project. If you must know, the change was a simple command to dynamically inject an API key from my GitHub repository settings into my Hugo project.
