Hugo: template for shortcode "alert" not found about website

I hit the same issue :) You need pull the doks theme which is included as a git submodule:

git submodule init
git submodule update

I am facing this issue - though I have done the submodule init/update steps. From the discussion here: thuliteio/doks#273, it looks as if the doks theme has changed the way it works?

I figured out this much - it's a bug in recent versions of Hugo. v0.83.1 is the latest version of Hugo which compiles this website correctly.

Versions v0.84.x panic and versions 0.85.0 onwards throw this error failed to extract shortcode: template for shortcode "alert" not found, though the cause is different.
