Skaffold File Sync - Subsequent Pod Deploy

Expected behavior

Skaffold resyncs files after a breaking change causes a pod to redeploy

Actual behavior

Skaffold doesn't do anything - it will continue to sync files to the new pod when changes are made but previous changes are ignored. I understand the files are synced to the pod rather than the container, but this requires skaffold dev to be restarted if the pod ever crashes.

Information

• Skaffold version: v1.33.0
• Operating system: MacOS 11.6
• Installed via: Homebrew
• Contents of skaffold.yaml:

  - image: myapp
    context: myapp
    docker:
      dockerfile: myapp.Dockerfile
    sync:
      infer:
      - '**'

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. setup skaffold with file sync
2. once stable, make a change to trigger the file sync
3. delete the pod that the file was synced to
4. examine the new pod, the content isn't synced on pod standup
