When extracting just an api via the config.yaml file, the global policy xml file is extracted as well and shouldn't be.

Release version

v6.0.0-alpha.1.0.8

Describe the bug

My config.yaml is set to only extract an api as follows;

`
apiNames:

• demo-conference-api

versionSetNames:

backendNames: [ignore]

diagnosticNames: [ignore]

loggerNames: [ignore]

namedValueNames: [ignore]

productNames: [ignore]

subscriptionNames: [ignore]

tagNames: [ignore]

policyFragmentNames: [ignore]

gatewayNames: [ignore]

groupNames: [ignore]
`

Expected behavior

I expect only the API specification, the API apim config, the api policy, and the api operation policies to be extracted. In this use case, the developer should only be able to work with the api and it's specific policies.

Actual behavior

Unfortunately, the global policy is also extracted along with the api and it's policies.

Reproduction Steps

Setup an config.yaml file to extract just one api, run the extractor, not that the api and it's policies are extracted and the global policy is also extracted.

And what's even worse is that without this policy.xml file the publisher wants to delete the current policy - fortunately in our case this raises a 403 - but that's the least sensible behavior I would expect when I only define a single extracted API.

Will take a look and get back to you.

API filters only affect items related to specific APIs. Service-level policies sit above APIs and aren't impacted by API filters. Just like product-level policies wouldn't be affected by API filters; if you only extract ApiA, the policy for productB would still be extracted.

If you want to specifically exclude service-level policies, your best bet would be to add a .gitignore entry for rootpath/policy.xml.

Please post here a format of the configuration file that you think would make sense if we were to expand support filtering global level artifacts.

Update: My bad, I had a combination of removing the policy.xml from the last commit and using the last_commit setting, so it made sense. I currently have a FileRemove task that cleans up specific files, but I'll provide an idea for a configuration.
