FalseClass does not have #dig method in... Error

[ecupaio]

_config.yml

picture:
  source: "images"
  output: "images/generated"
  ignore_missing_images: true
  webp:
    format: webp

Gemfile

source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "jekyll", "4.2.0"
group :jekyll_plugins do
   gem 'jekyll-sitemap'
   gem 'jekyll_picture_tag', '~> 2.0'
end

ran bundle install
ran brew install vips

directory is images in root and added a generated folder within the images directory

added {% picture my-picture.jpg %} which exists in my images directory.

I get the following error: Liquid Exception: FalseClass does not have #dig method in [layout]

I have no idea what is wrong. i just want webp and resized images...

Found the issue. If you create a picture.yml file in the _data but don't add anything to it you will get this error.

Interesting! Thanks for chasing it down. Sounds like I'm missing a truthiness check.

admittedly i was just slapping liquid onto a page and expecting magic (image magik, maybe?), but once I sat down and really went over the docs, presets are really convenient and responsive sizing saves some load time as I'm chasing the lighthouse 100 dragon.
