Custom theme - issue with .less override

Custom theme - issue with .less override

Hello guys!
Hope for your help,
I'm very new in Magento, currently try to add my own styles for a new custom theme. In the documentation I found the next instruction:

Extend component’s styles
In your theme directory, create a web/css/source sub-directory.
Add _buttons_extend.less and _extend.less here. The path to the files looks like following:

<theme_dir>
│  ├── web/
│  │   ├── css/
│  │   │   ├── source/
│  │   │       ├──_buttons_extend.less
│  │   │       ├──_extend.less
...
In _buttons_extend.less add your styles for the button component.
In _extend.less register the _buttons_extend.less by adding the following code: @import '_buttons_extend.less';

https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/frontend-dev-guide/css-guide/css_quick_guide_approach.html
But every time when I try to add _buttons_extend.less I get this error:
