Question

When I type hexo new page "_else"
I want it to build a forder named "_else" in the forder "sourses"

t didn't do it and report error, which I find in troubleshooting says that "Make sure you are using soft tabs and add a space after colons." . But I did check them and the problem still.

this is the error report:
(the /aiguosb is my blog's root forder)

$ hexo new page "_else"
FATAL Something's wrong. Maybe you can find the solution here: https://hexo.io/docs/troubleshooting.html

@1am-one Hi 👋
Would you please tell me your scaffolds/page.md?
I think maybe scaffolds/page.md's yaml syntax is something wrong.

Thanks :)

title: {{ title }}
date: {{ date }}
ptype: page

purl: {{ type }}

The "ptype" and "purl" is my own-defined permalink

[YoshinoriN]

So, your post.md front-matter is following. Is it right?

---
title: {{ title }}
date: {{ date }}
ptype: page
purl: {{ type }}
---

Do you add --- separator?
Would you please delete db.json before hexo new page _else?

uh...yes. I reset all the space after the colon. And the problem solved!
Maybe some space are not soft one.
Anyway, thank you very much!
