Panic on new content creation

[danshearer]

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

hugo v0.152.2+extended+withdeploy linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

Conditions to reproduce

A file with the same name exists only with different case, for example Floop.md or fLoOp.md . There is no problem if floop,md exists with exact case, when hugo correctly reports that the file exists and aborts.

hugo new content/articles floop.md

Panic

[user@machine ]$ hugo new content/articles/floop.md
panic: [BUG] no Page found for "/home/user/site/example.org/content/articles/floop.md"

Possible (?) documentation problem

I have not found any reference to what Hugo's rules are on case sensitivity for content files. Perhaps I just haven't looked in the right place. I'd lean to case-insensitivity with an error for identical files, because these mistakes are easy to make, but I just want to know what the rules are.

Hugo does have the disablePathToLower parameter for creating case-sensitive URLs, but that's entirely different.

I think this is probably a dup of #12602 .

I would like to work on this issue
