Error: No such file or directory: 'content/publication/.../index.md'

Hi there, I've been following the simple guide to import a new *.bib but I get this error:

Error: could not determine content directory for "content/publication/attanasio-e-mimic-2021/index.md"

I am running the academic import --bibtex *.bib cmd from the root of my website.
Also, the folder content/publication/attanasio-e-mimic-2021/ gets correctly created and the cite.bib with the content of my *.bib inserted in it. In fact, a new call of the same cmd returns a

04:45:35PM WARNING: Skipping creation of content/publication/attanasio-e-mimic-2021 as it already exists. To overwrite, add the --overwrite argument.

Am I missing something?

I am on macOS 12 and hugo 0.89.3.

Thank you in advance!

The CLI uses Hugo to create the index.md file, so there may have been an issue with the underlying Hugo Extended 0.89+ on your system if that file wasn't found.

Have you tried the earlier CLI version which doesn't use Hugo to generate the file? See https://github.com/wowchemy/hugo-academic-cli#installation

I had the same problem. Solved by installing the earlier CLI version with pip3 install academic==0.5.1.
