UsingCircularTemplateContentReferenceError

[loctran016]

Hi, there. My repo is here
The ./src/index.njk is using this layout and include postlists.njk
I've run into this problem, anyone know solution for this:

/d/frontend-template (snowpack)
$ set DEBUG=Eleventy* & npx @11ty/eleventy --dryrun
[1] 1689
Problem writing Eleventy templates: (more in DEBUG output)
> ./src/index.njk contains a circular reference (using collections) to its own templateContent.

`UsingCircularTemplateContentReferenceError` was thrown:
    UsingCircularTemplateContentReferenceError: ./src/index.njk contains a circular reference (using collections) to 
its own templateContent.

So, in this line, excerpt tag will extract templateContent from post. The problem is that this collections.all includes all content including ./src/index.njk itself, hence a circular reference error is thrown because it can't get the template content of itself while it's currently rendering.
Therefore don't use collections.all, you can use custom filtering instead with getFilteredByGlob("./src/posts/*.md") if you only want to include posts.

Really helpful, this solved the issue. Filtering out the all from the collections was the solution
