[Question] How to incrementally redeploy one product

[mmmbai]

Release version

5.0.1

Question Details

Suppose I have one api api1 associated product product1. Both of them already deployed to dev and prd.
Now I create one new api api2 and it is also associated product1. After that I am using following yaml file to extract it

apiNames:
  - api2
productNames:
  - product1

After that I can found following in the apis.json file inside products folder,

[
  {
    "name": "api2"
  }
]

After that I will deploy those files to prd, the publisher will remove api1 from product product1. That is not expected

info: Publisher[0]
Removing API api1 in product product1

Expected behavior

The publisher should not touch existing API. It should incrementally redeploy the product and keep relationship with api1

Actual behavior

The publisher removed existing api1 from product1

The tool is behaving as expected. You should include both apis in your configuration file.

As @waelkdouh said, this current behavior is expected. We have on our roadmap to implement new behavior that matches your expectations. See details of the planned behavior here.
