Describe the bug
Initialize project does not create the frontmatter.json file in a new workspace with a fresh hugo site

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Hugo:

  1. hugo new site
  2. git init
  3. git submodule add --depth 1 https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn.git themes/hugo-theme-relearn
  4. add "theme = 'hugo-theme-relearn' to hugo.toml
  5. hugo new --kind home _index.md
  6. start hugo server and open preview in browser

hugo site works as expected at this point

Front Matter:

  1. Go to Dashboard
  2. Click on "Initialize project"
  3. Without an error message the checkmark for "Initialize project" does not show up.

Expected behavior
After clicking on "Initialize project" all necessary files and folders should be created.

Thanks, @slayer01; I'll take a look at what is going wrong during the initialization. Thanks for opening the issue.
