"createIndex" flag throws error

[Daveawb]

The createIndex flag does not function properly.

No components are created if the folder structures requested don't exist. If the folder structures do exist and empty index file is created but no components are created.

Hi @Daveawb , I'm wondering how can I reproduce your problem? I'm a bit interested in this bug

@Daveawb @PQTran thanks for taking interest in this. It is a little long since I created this. But if I remember correctly createIndex is only suppose to read components from the current folder and create an index file exporting those components. So not create components. Unless I am misunderstanding the main issue

[Daveawb]

@snaerth and @PQTran I believe this was introduced when I wrote the template code. It's been a while since I looked at this issue, I'll try and reproduce again and provide steps.

Awesome thanks @Daveawb

So here's how I reproduced it.

However without --createindex

Note that Test does not exist at the time of creating the component.

I understand that the original intention was not to create any components but in this case specifically, we're creating a component AND creating an index of all components. This probably should either be fixed to allow component creation and a base index, or documented. Alternatively a separate command for indexing might be clearer that doesn't accept any arguments so that you can't mix the two up.
