I moved some of my config files from inside folders to root.
Example : one of my files was in tmux/.tmux.conf, and I renamed it to just tmux at the folder root.
Once I updated the dotter global config file, I kept having errors (after at least 5 to 10 tries), for tmux it was this :
[ERROR] Failed to delete symlink "tmux/.tmux.conf" -> "/home/poaclu/.tmux.conf"
Caused by:
detect symlink's current state
get source state
read contents of file that isn't symbolic or directory
Not a directory (os error 20`
Every config file was up-to-date with my new config.
I then checked the .dotter/cache.toml file :
I guessed the error came from there.
I then deleted the .dotter/cache.toml, redeployed dotter and it worked.
Reproduction
I don't know exactly how to reproduce it, but this error happened for 5 files that I did this action for (at the same time).
So I guess :
Having a config file in a folder
Moving the file at root
Possibly : renaming the file : for this file, . at the beginning and .conf at the end. (some of the other files I did rename, but only deleted the first . didn't get this error)
Redeploying dotter without emptying cache
Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen :
I guess deleting absent files that are not in the dotfiles folder, or at least asking the user if the file is still in use ?
Actual behavior
I already explained what happened, please ask more questions if needed.
I reproduced the error and got this log :
[ INFO] [-] symlink "tmux/.tmux.conf" -> "/home/poaclu/.tmux.conf"
[ERROR] Failed to delete symlink "tmux/.tmux.conf" -> "/home/poaclu/.tmux.conf"
