Question re. clone

[molipha]

Hi,

When I run the command... " couchapp -d clone http://127.0.0.1:5984/focus/_design/site . ", I do not get updated attachments. Is this correct?

To explain...

• http://127.0.0.1:5984/focus/_design/site contains the following couchapp local file structure
  scaffold/
  a.txt
  b.txt...
  site/
  img/...
  css/...
  a.html
  b.html...

I create my web site from the browser, by calling a javascript routine which uses the attachments in the 'scaffold directory', adding info based on documents in the db and generating the results in the folder 'site'.

My problem is I can't clone the site to my local drive, the updated 'site' files do not arrive.

Running clone -d does not mention any attempt to retrieve the documents in the _attachments 'directory' so I'm wondering if it is supposed to or not.

Many thanks

Addendum. When I delete the attachments from my local drive and clone, then the updated attachments are cloned to my hard drive.

Hi. I can work around this by deleting the local copy and cloning.

@molipha This is expect behavior. Because we always assume user will clone whole app into a new dir. If the dist is not a new dir, we only overwirde views, shows, lists, filters and updates.

If you need some method like syncing, how about tell us your proposal? 😄

I think we may prevent user from cloning into non-empty dir.(like git does)
And provide a new option -f for force clone.

Hi and thanks for the response. I guess in my case the ability to pull updated attachments would be helpful. On the other hand it is not that difficult to work around.
