resources.Get throwing error with argument from shortcode parameter

[danisztls]

Environment

hugo v0.87.0+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown

Issue

I don't know if this is a bug or just a leaky abstraction but inside a shortcode...

...this work as expected:

{{ $src := "image.jpg" }} 
{{ $image := resources.Get $src }}
<img src="{{ $image.RelPermalink }}">

while this doesn't:

{{ $src := .Get "src" }} 
{{ $image := resources.Get $src }}
<img src="{{ $image.RelPermalink }}">

throwing this error:

Error: Error building site: "/site/content/my-page.md:56:1": failed to render shortcode "image": failed to process shortcode: "/site/themes/my-theme/layouts/shortcodes/image.html:8:18": execute of template failed: template: shortcodes/image.html:8:18: executing "shortcodes/image.html" at <$image.RelPermalink>: nil pointer evaluating resource.Resource.RelPermalink

Is this related to #7960?

[jmooring]

How are you calling the shortcode?

Curious, what do you mean by leaky abstraction in this particular context?

That said, resources.Get is the exact same function in both scenarios.

[danisztls]

@jmooring I'm not using page bundles.

The shortcode is called by the following on content/section/page.md

{{< image src="/img/subdir/image.jpeg" alt="Description" width="640" height="400">}}

Note: I moved the img dir to assets/.

Note 2: Currently I'm using it without problems with src="{{ .Get "src" }}" and images under static/.

Because in my limited high level (superficial) undestanding the method resources.Get can be used like this. But maybe there are limitations for it that are not clear to anyone reading the documentation or at least for me.

That said, resources.Get is the exact same function in both scenarios.

It is but the later does not work.

@jmooring Thanks and in the future I will to that. But as far as I know this is not invalid and not solved. Why it is invalid?
