Index.md files strange behaviour

support
1

I noticed a strange behaviour of hugo when there is an index.md-file in the content-directory: The other markdown files are not processed and the public-folder does not contain any html files.

I suppose this is a bug, but I am quite new to hugo, so I am not sure if I only misunderstand something. I created a minimal reproduction site and uploaded it to file-upload.net. To reproduce

  • unzip the archive and open a terminal inside the extracted folder
  • hugo -v && find public
  • hugo new index.md
  • rm -rf public && hugo -v && find public

After creating the index.md-file, the something.md is completely ignored by hugo.

Terminal output 
$ > rm -rf public && hugo -v && find public

Do I miss something here? Should I report this as a bug on github?
I do understand that the file should be called _index.md instead of index.md, but I would expect a warning or something from hugo (at least with -v). When I first encountered this behaviour 2 days ago I had no idea what was happening (I ported a website from version 0.30 to the latest one)

As far as I can tell, this behaviour occurs from version 0.32 onwards.
