Discuss the behavior of operator-sdk new about operator-sdk

[hongchaodeng]

It depends.
For the behavior, if the input is deterministic, and output is deterministic, then it is safe to skip anything that already exists.

if app-operator folder has been created already

IMHO, this is not enough to determine if the output is what we want to generate.

@hongchaodeng Can you explain your concern a bit more.

I was thinking that the expected behavior from operator-sdk new <project-name> is to simply create a new project if it does not exist.
So there are two cases:

• If a directory with <project-name> already exists in the current working directory then the command should output an error saying it already exists. Doesn't matter are the contents of that directory.
• If there is no directory, then create a new project.

I think the solution @hasbro17 mentioned above is good enough.

Can you explain your concern a bit more.

Not really a concern. As mentioned above, in order to skip some files and generate the rest, it needs both the input and output to be deterministic. Just checking the folder exists not enough.

[hasbro17]

Sounds good. @fanminshi We'll proceed with the above mentioned behavior for now.

[fanminshi]

yep!
