Using flutter create to repair a project with the --empty option deletes test folder #134928
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
- I have read the guide to filing a bug
Steps to reproduce
Run the following commands sequentially:
flutter create my_app --empty
mkdir my_app/test
touch my_app/test/some_test.dart
cat my_app/test/some_test.dart # prints nothing, finds this file
flutter create my_app --empty # I want to repair this project, but I don't want to add any boilerplate
cat my_app/test/some_test.dart # ! No such file or directoryExpected results
some_test.dart shouldn't be deleted since we are just trying to repair this project after its initial creation.
Actual results
The whole test folder is now gone.
Alternatives I've considered
Using flutter create without the --empty option. But that'll add the boilerplate I want to avoid.
Context
I'm trying to set-up my own mason brick, with several files in both lib and test which. flutter create . --empty is handy since it won't generate useless (within this context) files.
