Dedicated server deleted under development mod without permission

All the workshop-<number> directories are game managed directories and have always been under the control of the game to update/remove. The reason you're not seeing the download in the mods folder is because newer UGC mods are managed by Steam itself, and we simply read the downloaded mod from Steam's directories (e.g. Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\322330\...). Unfortunately, working within "workshop named" directories is outside of the intended design, and mod development should happen in plain text named directories instead.

I don't get it
Why the folder is deleted instead of moved?

And I'm in a dedicated server, so Steam is not responsible for downloading it I think

Yes, indirectly through dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua.

But the dedicated mod setup is not downloading the mod
I really dont get it

It should be downloading the mod to Steam's UGC directory.

Note: My Dedicated server was installed with steamcmd

All mods are downloaded, but this one, instead of being downloaded, it was deleted
 

We think we know what's going on with that. If you run the server again without touching /mods it should download properly to the ugc directory. We'll be adding a fix for the original cause of why the ugc version didn't download.

It didn't, I tried 4 times.

I tried to get the old version from the client side and put along the server mods, but it was deleted
The only way to make it don't be erased is by removing the ServerModSetup line

So I had to download it on the client, place it manually in the server and remove from dedicated_mod_setup

Can you try remove the version in /mods and send us your server logs after dedicated_mod_setup fails to download it?

Ok, now it mysteriously downloaded the files to the UGC mod folder and the "Remove" command is not executed anymore

Thanks for your support

However, I sincerely want to ask:

I didn't updated the server, there is any reason for I can not reproduce what I've said before?
Why it delete the files when its in the mods folder instead to moving it?
And after deleting, it do not tries to download

@edit:
I have forgot the log, here is it
As you can see, its very different than the previous one that I have attached
This one works properly

(The errors in the end happens since this is the version of the mod in the workshop, and its outdated)
server_log.txt

It's hard to say without knowing the exact state of your folders when the download wasn't happening. As for why the folder is deleted and not moved, the flow is that an updated version will be downloaded, so we need to remove the existing contents.
