build command not reporting error with layouts

[jobearrr]

On my Site definition, I had the layouts assigned like below:

var layouts = [
    BlogPost()
]

where BlogPost is a custom layout inheriting from ContentPage.

When I run the ignite build command, it finishes with the message ✅ Successfully built!, but I look at the Build/ folder and the contents using the BlogPost layout are not there.

I ran the executable scheme on Xcode and there I got an error Failed to find layout named BlogPost.

Should there be a difference between these two building options?
I think it would be nice to have the build command reporting that error which I got reported when running the executable scheme on Xcode.

It looks like ignite build is swallowing that warning, which isn't great – we should fix that up.

In the meantime, I wonder if the problem is the type of layouts. Does it resolve the problem if changed to var layouts: [any ContentPage] = [?

NB: If you only have one layout, I think it's selected by default without needing to assign anything the Markdown.

Yes, the problem was solved by specifying the type.

Thank you! I'm going to leave this issue open because I think we should document this on the Ignite Samples site, so this is a great first issue for someone.

Xcode autocomplete adds the type when you accept, FWIW.

Yes, but I don't think it's terribly clear to many people what the distinction is. I think we should definitely look to make this clear on IgniteSamples somewhere.
