PatchTransformer does not support array literal

[alchemistake]

What happened?

I hope I'm doing something wrong than there is a problem with Kustomize

I'm using this file

apiVersion: builtin
kind: PatchTransformer
metadata:
  name: example
target:
  kind: Deployment
patch: |
  - op: add
    path: /spec/template/spec/volumes/-
    value:
      - name: my_example_volume
        emptyDir: {}
  - op: add
    path: /spec/template/spec/containers/0/env/-
    value:
      - name: EXAMPLE_DIR
        value: /etc/wow_example
  - op: add
    path: /spec/template/spec/containers/0/volumeMounts/-
    value:
      - name: my_example_volume-multiproc-dir
        mountPath: /etc/wow_example

and I'm getting this error

add operation does not apply: doc is missing path: "/spec/template/spec/volumes/-": missing value

What did you expect to happen?

I was expecting the volume and env vars in the transformer would be appended to the deployment.

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?
