[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-14828) Application Wizard: if git clone directory already exist i cannot do anything

[Rob Stryker (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-14828?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Rob Stryker resolved JBIDE-14828.
---------------------------------
    Resolution: Done


If the user has already cloned the eap-quickstarts repository in their destination clone directory, it won't re-force a downloading of the repository. It will not delete the local content at all. It will simply re-use the local copy they have already cloned.  This can save a lot of time for people who have already downloaded the repository and don't wish to re-clone it into a new folder every single time they import the project. 

If the user does wish to re-clone it, or if he has made changes to the local repository and wishes to get a new clean one from upstream, he can simply choose a new target destination / clone folder, same as before. 

However the above problem does exist. If the user has already cloned the repository AND deleted the target subfolder from the filesystem, it seems the 'filtering' code will not find the matching subfolder and will instead try to import the entire git repo. 

Please open a new issue for this.

>          Components: openshift
>    Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Beta2
>            Reporter: Andre Dietisheim
>            Assignee: Rob Stryker

> steps to reproduce:
> # EXEC: create and/or import some appliaction from OpenShift to your local workspace using the application/import wizard
> # EXEC: once you have the project imported to your workspace, delete it
> # EXEC: once it is deleted, go and try to re-import the very same application
> Result:
> The 3rd wizard page errors on the git cloning destination. You're told that the destination folder already exists within the clone destination folder. The only way out currently is to choose a different clone destination folder. 
> !application-folder-already-exists.png!
> Expected:
> It would help a lot if wizard would allow you to overwrite the existing destination. The wizard could also check if the given folder holds a prior clone and then allow one to "reuse" this folder. The given folder would then simply get imported to Eclipse and we'd fetch instead of cloning.
