Should an empty Frontmatter cause an error?

[seneca]

If I add an empty frontmatter at the top of the document

---

I get an error, presumably, caused by the parser.
Should this really be an error or is this just a bug?
Personally, I think an empty front matters should be silently skipped by the parser as if wasn't there at all.

I don't get the error personally. I'm testing with this page. Tried without front matter and with empty front matter.

Well, that's strange. I've used skeleton starter template. And so, when I create a new xx.md page and leave empty front matter in there I get an error widow, although nothing is displayed there. Will double-check of course and come back with more info.

The skeleton app seems to work for me as well. Check the about page there, which does not have the front matter. Please also upgrade to the latest Nue: bun install --global nuekit@latest

Very strange indeed
I tried again with updated Bun and Nue and get the following error message in the console:

Hello there

This should work.

Please try with a new dev version: bun install nuekit@0.1.7-dev --global

Yes, that works, thanks :-)
