Invoking .Page.RenderString on a page without a backing file throws an erroneous warning

[jmooring]

This was introduced in v0.92.0, and is still present in v0.92.1.

MRE:

git clone --single-branch -b hugo-github-issue-9433 https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-testing hugo-github-issue-9433
cd hugo-github-issue-9433
hugo 

.File.Path on zero object. Wrap it in if or with: {{ with .File }}{{ .Path }}{{ end }}

The warning is triggered in layouts/_default/list.html, line 4:

{{ .RenderString "foo" }}

Thanks ... We should have made that an error long time ago, but I guess we cannot do that in a patch release ...

We should have made that an error

Please clarify. Should I update the documentation to indicate that this method should not be used on pages that are not backed by file?
