[Known] Bug with collabignore

I believe this (is/should be/has to be) a bug..

I recently installed a small add-on to my project, but my partner wasn't interested in it, so I ignored it from collab. Everything's working okay. I made a few mistakes in something I was working on, and so I thought I'd revert to a build from 40 mins prior (long after installing the add-on, btw).

Collab deleted my plugin/add-on

Edit: After all of this was done, I realized that should I need to revert again later, to remember to do by file instead of the entire project. It only took me a min to restore my add-on, which was lucky/good. It does sound problematic , though. (Maybe collab though because my previous save didn't have the ignore, that I wanted it gone when I reverted.. not sure, but that's the only guess I have; collab should ignore anything that is related to 'ignore'? heh)

 

Hi again @methos5k! When reverting your project, Collab deletes your project's local copy and replaces it with the latest from the server, which means your ignored files would also be deleted.

This is certainly an annoying bug that could result in important work being lost and we will be fixing it soon. You can follow it's progress here: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...older-collab-commit-deletes-all-ignored-files.

 

Cool.. just wanted to share, not complain. Luckily for me, the files were no problem to get. If they had been something else, I can imagine it would have been bad.
