Non-deterministic behavior of template lookup with wrong naming convention

[ChrisLasar]

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

$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.67.0/extended linux/amd64 BuildDate: unknown

and

$ brew switch hugo 0.68.3
$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.68.3/extended linux/amd64 BuildDate: unknown

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes, see above

Setting

Having two templates in my module for the layout

• layouts/topics/list.html
• layouts/topics/terms.html

This module is imported (locally) in my project. There I start

$ hugo serve -D

I now just save files without changing them to "trigger builds".

Sometime hugo uses the list.html, sometimes it uses the terms.html template.

While this is with looking up templates in an imported module, I also have the impression, that hugo sometimes misses some content files. However, I did not spend time to reproduce it that clearly yet.

Might be related with #7123.

Switched back to 0.62.2 and the problem disappears

$ brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chenrui333/homebrew-core/f7b07c345de912435fcb3f1b10929128590f9e1c/Formula/hugo.rb
...
$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.62.2/extended linux/amd64 BuildDate: unknown

Not saying that the problem is introduced with hugo 0.63.0. Just guessing from the logs that 0.62.2 might work.

[ChrisLasar]

Used /content/<TAXONOMY>/<TERM>.md instead of /content/<TAXONOMY>/<TERM>/_index.md.

After fixing the file names & pathes the non-deterministic behavior disappears with hugo 0.68.3.

Wonder if a non-deterministic behavior is expected here? However, feel free to close this issue.
