hugo new with subsections causes a panic

[BBaoVanC]

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

$ hugo version
hugo v0.89.2+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes (I actually just updated it)

Issue

I have an archetype in my theme that's archetypes/blog/index.md and a subsection in my website under content/blog/ which holds my private drafts (content/blog/drafts/). In previous releases I would do hugo new --kind blog blog/drafts/[whatever] (it would actually work without using --kind, but I used it just in case). Now, I get the same error message as #9072.

The issue doesn't happen with the main blog section; only the drafts subsection under it.

Error message for reference:

panic: [BUG] no Page found for "/home/bbaovanc/git-repos/bbaovanc.com/content/blog/drafts/my-thoughts-on-github-copilot/index.md"

The content of the index.md that gets created is also the same as in #9072:

---
title: "Content Placeholder"
_build:
  render: never
  list: never
  publishResources: false
---

If it helps, my website and theme are both on GitHub.

Thanks for this; as a general remark, try to write issue titles that describes the problem/bug (what happens). I have a list of 50 Hugo notifications every morning, and "Open
Subsections bring issue #9072 back" doesn't give me much information.

I couldn't think of anything better, here I'll try again

Even though I'm not able to reproduce the panic (I tested with your site on my MacBook), I do see some discrepancies (if that's even a word ...) with how you use this (I have added a PR that should improve the handling when you have a /default archetype directory).

But when you say:

hugo new --kind blog blog/drafts/foo/index.md 

And the kind resolves to an archetype directory, then you will end up with content/blog/drafts/foo/index.md/index.md which is probably not what you want. You could argue that we should be smarter about this, but it's hard to guess what the user really wants.

Oh wait, I made a typo. I don't put the index.md (so hugo new --kind blog blog/drafts/foo)

I'll have to see if I can test out that commit to see if it made any difference.

Just tested it on master (fdad91f), still get the same panic (a couple line numbers are different so I'll paste the error again)

The first line is the command I ran, not part of the output

~/git-repos/bbaovanc.com master -> /home/bbaovanc/.local/share/go/bin/hugo new blog/drafts/abc

I am unable to reproduce this with v0.89.4.

That's weird, it's still happening for me. I guess I'll go to https://discourse.gohugo.io/
