podman cp does not copy folders

[maflcko]

/kind bug

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Compare podman and docker:

$ ls /tmp/new_folder_02/
$
$ podman cp /tmp/new_folder_02 sweet_hellman:/home/
$ podman exec sweet_hellman ls /home/
$
$ sudo docker cp /tmp/new_folder_02 elated_kalam:/home/
$ sudo docker exec elated_kalam ls /home/
new_folder_02
$

Output of podman version:

Version:            1.2.0
RemoteAPI Version:  1
Go Version:         go1.11.5
OS/Arch:            linux/amd64

@QiWang19 PTAL

@MarcoFalke just to verify, are there any symlinks involved in this particular copy?

[maflcko]

Not that I am aware of. I created the empty folder with mkdir /tmp/new_folder_02

[QiWang19]

podman cp copies the content under the folder into /home/. ls /home/ shows nothing because the /tmp/new_folder_02 is empty.
Yes, this is kind of a bug because it's different from docker
