Research direction

Start at the apx stacks export command entry point and reproduce the reported commands with the dev stack and both file and directory output paths. Trace where the export destination is handled; done means the command creates the requested exported stack file and reports a path that exists.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I want to export a stack to a file, in order to edit and tweak for future usage.

lie@apx-vso-native:~$ apx stacks export --help
Usage: export [flags]

Export the specified stack.

Flags:
  -n, --name         The name of the stack to export.
  -o, --output       The path to export the stack to.
lie@apx-vso-native:~$ apx stacks show  dev

lie@apx-vso-native:~$ apx stacks export -n dev -o /home/lie/dev.yaml
INF > Exported stack 'dev' to '/home/lie/dev.yaml'.
lie@apx-vso-native:~$ apx stacks export -n dev -o .
INF > Exported stack 'dev' to '.'.

apx say the export was finished, but the file doesn't occur.
