AWS IAM Delete File issue Github APP about iambic

[castrapel]

By default, IAMbic will capture the state of all IAM, but doesn't need to manage all of it. Based on our conversation, I think you'd like to instruct IAMbic to ignore certain resources. Would the solution specified in #421 work for your use case?

Based on our conversation, I also heard from you that when we see a PR with a removed file, we should take the opportunity to instruct users (via GH comment) about the proper way to either 1) Remove, or 2) Ignore different resources.

ok, I can confirm I replicate this with latest version.

https://github.com/noqdev/iambic-templates-itest/pull/299 (internal repo), so not publicly visible.

This is related to the git usage of iambic. When it retrieves list of changes, it see a modified file that is categorized as rename. (I copy template_1 as template_2, change the id inside template_2. proceed to do git rm template_1 , git add template_2. git commit considers it as a rename. (shrugs).

iambic has business logic to create an in-memory file for the deleted contents. it attempts to check over during apply and then proceed to delete it. That logic is ok for actual template physically on the filesystem but not one that it creates in-memory.
