diff and sync commands fail with "entity already exists" if global plugins in multiple workspace yaml files exist

[kallecaco3]

After dumping all workspaces in a Kong EE environment using:

deck dump --all-workspaces

deck diff --state ./
fails with:
Error: inserting plugins into state: entity already exists

If multiple workspaces contain the same glob al plugin, e.g. file-log or correlation-id

To work around this issue it is necessary to follow the recommendation to manage of one workspace at a time and not club configuration of all the workspaces at the same time: https://deck.yolo42.com/guides/kong-enterprise.html

What is the question here? I understand that you ran into a problem and then solved it.

@hbagdi can we change deck to allow all workspaces to be updated even when clubbing the configurations?
If not, can we make it clearer in the documentation that the workspaces should be diff/sync-ed individually?

[hbagdi]

That's very reasonable.
We will fix this unless there is a PR to fix this first.
