Ocassional Error when launching hexo server, what might be wrong?

[realzza]

I reinstalled hexo-cli and hexo-theme-icarus just now. And when I try to run hexo server again, it pops the error ERROR Database load failed. Deleting database. every other time, which is weird.

This has never happened before the reinstallation. Any idea on what could be wrong?

See that the first launch is normal, but a second run would cause the ERROR Database load failed. Deleting database.

@realzza Do you mind share more information about your OS and Node.js information? What about your Hexo configurations?

[realzza]

Sure.

Previous node version is v17.0.0, yesterday I upgraded it to v18.6.0 while reinstall. No version specifed when reinstalling hexo and hexo-theme-icarus.
I didn't make any changes to the _config.yml, so that may not be a problem.

Did the same error happen with other Hexo themes?

[realzza]

Yes, the error occurred again with landscape theme

If that's the case, the error could be caused by a bug of Hexo itself or file permission error of your OS. Please check the directory and file permissions of your blog and contact Hexo developers for further assistance.
