Using Arch Linux `hugo v0.124.1+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown`, Mainroad theme (updated this morning).

I have hugo running as a server locally when I update my blog:

```auto
hugo server --watch \
        --buildDrafts \
        --debug --verbose --logLevel debug

```

When I create a new post with `hugo new content posts/new-post.md`,  
the hugo server doesn’t show the new post in the front page list, or in “Recent Posts” or under the two default tags I have set, but only under the “Posts” menu bar (localhost:1313/posts/). I’m certain that posts created with `hugo new` used to show up almost immediately in my web browser, and in the “tags” pages.

If I have a (firefox) web browser with localhost:1313 loaded, I see the browser “flash” when I do the `hugo new content`, which I believe is the HTML re-loading from the local hugo server.

The xterm in which I have `hugo server` running says this:

```auto
DEBUG Received System Events: [CREATE "/home/bediger/nblog/content/posts/new-post.md" WRITE "/home/bediger/nblog/content/posts/new-post.md" WRITE "/home/bediger/nblog/content/posts/new-post.md" WRITE "/home/bediger/nblog/content/posts/new-post.md"]

```

I’m not sure that’s important though.

I have tried creating a new site with `hugo new site`, populating it with the markdown files from my posts, and I get the same result.

I have gone through the `config.toml` file section by section, and nothing seems to affect the new-post-not-showing.

I have tried running `hugo server` with --renderToMemory and --disableFastRender flags, same result. Post created with `hugo new content posts/...` only shows up in localhost:1313/posts

I’ll look at this in the next couple of days, but for future reference you can replace this:

```plaintext
hugo server --watch --buildDrafts --debug --verbose --logLevel debug

```

with this:

```plaintext
hugo server --buildDrafts --logLevel debug

```

Why?

1. `--debug` has been deprecated, and you’re already specifying `--logLevel debug`.
2. `--verbose` has been deprecated, and you’re already specifying `--logLevel debug`.
3. Using `--watch` with `hugo server` is superfluous. That’s what `hugo server` does by default… it watches.

This is a regression; see [https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/12362](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/12362).

It was fixed in v0.125.0.
