Normally (and on GitHub Pages) Jekyll will ignore the posts in the _drafts folder, publishing only the posts in the _posts folder. If you run Jekyll locally with the --drafts flag (e.g., jekyll serve --drafts), Jekyll will include any posts in the _drafts folder, just as if they were published post (but don't worry, only locally).
@RoyiAvital The draft post will not appear in the site folder if it contains a date property and you are running with the --drafts switch. Remove the date property and it will output for testing

Hi all, does anyone know whether it is actually possible to view a draft with a date in the filename?
The reason I'm asking this is because I use a script that takes the filename of my blog post (YYYY-MM-DD-post-name) to create a folder where I store my images, adding the date keeps the files neatly organised.
My scripts are based on taking the filename, which works if I write my drafts in the _posts folder but my jekyll blog doesn't seem to be able to find my drafts if I add date.
Tips?
The documentation says
Drafts are posts without a date..What does it mean?
Does it means I should remove the
datefield from the page:title: 'Something Boring'
