Errors due to version updates 0.16.1 → 0.17.2

[jackyliu16]

Hello, I have using nixpkgs as my version control tools, nowadays, I find that the example template seems could only been run in the Zola version 0.17.2, when I am changing my Zola version from 0.16.1 into 0.17.2, I'm facing a kind of error like this:

Run in Version 0.17.2:
Building site...
Warning: config.toml contains both default language specific information at base and under section `[languages.en]`, which may cause merge conflicts. Please use only one to specify language specific information
Error: Failed to serve the site
Error: Error parsing templates from the /templates directory

Run in version 0.16.1

Since that repository is identical, I wonder if there are some features that have been change.

This is my config.toml right now

It seems to be a bug in the handling of multiple languages in this new version of Zola, I already reported the problem to the Zola team repository.

[gersonbenavides]

Ok it wasn't a problem with the language handling, it turns out that now Zola requires a templates directory to be able to compile correctly (you can check thread #2150 in the Zola repository), to correct this create a folder with the name templates in the root directory of your project and if you are using git create an empty .gitkeep file.

You can check the repository of my site if you have any questions.
