There was an error downloading your generated html resume from our server: Error: Service Unavailable

[papanito]

I currently get an error when I run

resume  serve -theme .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                ```

Interestingly it does not take my local theme but something else

```shell
Error: theme path jsonresume-theme-heme could not be resolved from current working directory
    at _default (/home/papanito/.local/share/npm/lib/node_modules/resume-cli/build/render-html.js:46:11)
    at /home/papanito/.local/share/npm/lib/node_modules/resume-cli/build/builder.js:50:26

Same happens when I specifically provide my theme name

resume  serve -theme jsonresume-theme-papanito

Thanks for the detailed report @papanito — and sorry it sat for a while.

Some good news that's directly relevant: resume-cli is under active maintenance again (2026). Development has moved into the jsonresume.org monorepo at packages/cli — see the announcement in #786 and the org consolidation in jsonresume/jsonresume.org#275.

Two things stand out in your report that we want to chase down against the revived version:

1. The local theme path (--theme . — note it needs the double dash; -theme . gets parsed as something else by commander) not resolving and falling through to a remote fetch.
2. The "error downloading your generated html resume from our server" fallback itself — that remote-render path is exactly the kind of legacy behavior we're reviewing in the revival.

Could you give it another try with the current resume-cli and let us know? If it still misbehaves, please open an issue in the monorepo (https://github.com/jsonresume/jsonresume.org/issues) so it lands where the code now lives. I'm labeling this migrated-context and keeping it open so it stays visible in the meantime.
