Lookup order of archetype is not honored when theme is specified

[ashishthedev]

Even though I've specified a theme and there is an archetype present for a content-section(posts), but the front matter is not being copied from the theme.

Referring section from docs:

https://gohugo.io/content-management/archetypes/

Lookup Order for Archetypes Similar to the lookup order for templates in your layouts directory, Hugo looks for a section- or type-specific archetype, then a default archetype, and finally an internal archetype that ships with Hugo. For example, Hugo will look for an archetype for content/posts/my-first-post.md in the following order:

archetypes/posts.md archetypes/default.md themes//archetypes/posts.md themes//archetypes/default.md (Auto-generated with hugo new site) If you wish to use archetypes that ship with a theme, the theme field must be specified in your configuration file.

Step1: Create a new theme: $ hugo new theme bingo

Step2: Use the theme in config.toml $ vi config.toml +++ ... theme = "bingo" +++

Step3: create a new archetype posts $ vi themes/bingo/archetypes/posts.md +++ fancyOption = "yay" +++

Step4: Create a new post $ hugo new posts/first.md

Step5: Inspect the new file $ cat content/posts/first.md

Do you have a default archetype in your project?

Yes.

Also observed that the front matter is in yaml instead of toml.

Yes.

Then he behaviour is in line with the documentation. Note that this has been discussed before.
