Composer creates packages with ROOT, Scripts, Settings and Snapshots folders

Getting an odd thing happening when creating packages in Composer 8.52.

The packages (pkg or dmg) contain, and deploy the following directories.

ROOT
Scripts
Settings
Snapshots

Like it is packaging the contents of a directory above where it should from the temporary storage.

When the package is deployed it will put all of these directories at / so that

/Applications/SuperFun.app

would be at

/ROOT/Applications/SuperFun.app

Anyone seen this?

Thanks

Matt

It seems to happen when you rename the package in Composer from what I have seen. If you don't rename it, it seems to work.

I think there's like 2 other threads here that discuss the same issue. Some suggestions are when the app is renamed before packaging that can happen, but some other indications are that it is indeed a bug in Composer 8.52.

Here are some of the other threads similar to yours:

Restarting Composer fixed this issue for me.
