Is contents/path not respected? about vendir HOT 4 CLOSED

So, now I created the k8s/eduk8s/upstream/eduk8s folder and everything was properly created there, but for some reason all the existing files in k8s/eduk8s/myfile.yaml were deleted this time.

from vendir.

I had to mmove everthing into a folder like:

k8s/eduk8s/overlay

and then add this to preserve these files:

  - path: overlay
    manual: {}

from vendir.

I have seen the test https://github.com/k14s/vendir/blob/develop/examples/overlapping-dir/vendir.yml which confuses me as it seems to be the expected behavior. What am I missing?

i ran vendir sync against your config above. i had to create k8s/eduk8s/downstream/hub since it's expected to be already existing before hand. if you dont want to do that, use directory: {path: "..."} instead of manual. following was the end result after sync:

but for some reason all the existing files in k8s/eduk8s/myfile.yaml were deleted this time.

when you tell vendir to manage a directory it will delete everything that's not specified in vendir.yml. this is intentional since vendir is declaratively managing contents of a directory.

Thanks,
I'll close the issue since it seems as expected behavior, although the documentation doesn't help/clarify much in this regards in many of the cases.
